The Los Angeles Issue

Rufus Wainwright, Dream Requiem
Written in dedication to the smoldering spirits of Verdi and Puccini and the bleak words of Byron, the songwriter’s Requiem-Mass dirge doomily portrays death’s gutting solitude.

bdrmm, Microtonic
Boasting lush electronic soundscapes and complex themes of modern dystopia, the Hull quartet’s third album feels more nuanced than their prior indie-rock discography.

Panda Bear, Sinister Grift
Replacing sequenced mechanical instrumentation for blunter analog rhythms, Noah Lennox tunes his ears to the charts on his latest release, which is anything but sinister.
