Record Review: Majical Cloudz – Wait & See EP
Majical Cloudz does strike out in a new direction with The Wait & See, but it does so with a well-stocked collection of tools from its earlier efforts.

Nicolas Jaar: The Genius of Nymphs
I'm enamored with the genius of Nicolas Jaar. Throughout all three Nymph EPs, he delicately constructs layers of sounds, sensations, and sensibilities.
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 World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die – Harmlessness
The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die have released a record that lives up to the ambition of their name with Harmlessness.
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.
