Empress Of, Dream House
On a prismatic album about reconstruction and fulfillment, the Honduran-American songwriter embodies pure-hearted conviction to remind us home is where the heart is.
Emma Ruth Rundle, These Killing Times
Capturing the existential uncertainty and anguish of being alive right now, each of the eight tracks on the Portland-based songwriter’s new record feels like some kind of séance.
Slow Pulp, Melodie
The Wisconsin indie rockers have created something more cohesive, polished, and cathartic on their third LP, an exploration of loss and change.
Tim Sommer
Colin Newman and Malka Spigel’s latest album of hypnotic krautrock is full of melody, persistence, gravity, and power—it’s perfect for any old or new highway dream.
Sixteen long years since his last album, Vini Reilly makes a welcome return with a low-key album that’s still rich and lovely, unpretentious and open-hearted.
This re-release presents a band that’s palatably gleeful to have figured out their formula with an astonishingly cohesive and weirdly poppy picture of a Cold War–fogged world.
Poised, exotic, and engaging from start to finish, the English jangle-pop outfit’s unexpected delight of a 17th studio album is a magical soundtrack for this uncertain spring.
The genre-hopping fifth LP from Verity Susman and Matthew Simms is more ornate and ambitious than their earlier material, though ultimately the whole is lesser than the sum of the parts.
