Album Review: Joanna Newsom – Divers
Joanna Newsom's latest album Divers succeeds on multiple levels: it’s wide-spectrum folk with a reach beyond freak-folk aesthetes. Divers is a masterpiece.

Album Review: Disclosure – Caracal
If the Lawrence Brothers are proud of Caracal, then I’m happy for them. Disclosure certainly know how to make a better electro-pop tune than I do.

Album Review: The Wonder Years – No Closer to Heaven
No Closer to Heaven embraces the fact The Wonder Years are growing up by choosing to fight apathy and indifference with the knowledge and perspective.
Album Review: Widowspeak – All Yours
All Yours is a good record, but it could have been a really good one with a bit more oomph. I wish Widowspeak would have given me a bit more sonically.
Album Review: Silkie – Fractals
Fractals is extroverted, but never over-the-top with its energy or appeal. Silkie wants to engage your senses without overwhelming them.
Album Review: Four Tet – Morning/Evening
Morning/Evening is the record you should use to introduce people to the Four Tet aesthetic. It is the most focused piece of work in his entire canon.
Album Review: mewithoutYou – Pale Horses
There’s a sense of measured purpose to Pale Horses that I really needed to hear in 2015 and I’m glad I got to experience from mewithoutYou.
Album Review: The Wheel Workers – Citizens
The Wheel Workers' Citizens is a combination of strong words and great music that results in pop-rock encouraging you to think. Nothing wrong with that!
