Morrissey, Make-Up Is a Lie
It isn’t always hard to trick ourselves into remembering Moz as he once was on this return-to-form solo LP as he matches mischievous observations with a winning brand of melancholy pop.
Bill Callahan, My Days of 58
Well-observed, a bit absurd, and wholly singular, this “hobo stew” permits each instrument and each musical idea to embrace Callahan’s discursive lyrical and structural style.
Flying Lotus, Big Mama
A hodgepodge of electronic textures, genres, and styles, the artist’s proper debut for his own Brainfeeder label feels improvisational despite its meticulous craftsmanship.
Sam C. Mac
Pop hero to trap villain and back again.
The singer’s new suite of works—”Blonde,” “Endless,” and “Boys Don’t Cry”—exists on its own terms, turning his understanding of fluid identification into an aesthetic.
Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood in “Into the Forest”
The pair of female protagonists at the center of this apocalypse thriller provide the only wrinkle in an otherwise rote genre film.

The once (and future?) visionary director returns with this strongest flick since 2008’s “Be Kind Rewind.”

The first season of Netflix’s Kyle Chandler–led serial drama offset its idyllic setting with a story of white-knuckle familial tension. Now creators Glenn and Todd Kessler and Daniel Zelman are doubling down.
