The Lumineers – Cleopatra: Love to Hate or Hate to Love?
So against all odds, The Lumineers avoid the sophomore slump on Cleopatra, at least in terms of quality if not commercial success.
Album Review: MONEY – Suicide Songs
MONEY's new album is slow, slurred, sad, almost pretty, rather bleak, and a tad humorous. And that is precisely what makes Suicide Songs a success overall.
Album Review: Container – LP
There’s little in the way of romance or restraint on LP, but that Container’s intent. As an intelligent, deliberately messy composition and it’s a success.
Tove Lo is the Pop Star We Need
With Tove Lo, we have a pop star who encompasses the allure of early Britney, the unabashed sentimentality of Robyn, and the songwriting chops of Sia.
Album Review: Passion Pit – Kindred
Kindred is just as glossy and energetic as its predecessors, but without any of the darkness which had previously made Passion Pit so compelling.
Album Review: Björk – Vulnicura
Vulnicura is an album that will be remembered for its uncompromising artistry and confronts us with the raw emotions that Björk dealt with while writing it
Album Review: Grouper – Ruins
Grouper's latest album Ruins is a collection of stark, skeletal, bruised recordings that say much with little production. Ruins is an album to obsess over.
Album Review: Cloud Boat – Model of You
While the songs on Cloud Boats' new album Model of You may sound festival-ready, they are intensely personal.
