The War On Drugs: Lost in the Dream
It takes some kind of wonderful for a band to be able to turn something familiar and dated into something classic and refreshing.
Wild Beasts: Present Tense
Wild Beasts’ fourth studio album was given shape in vastly different circumstances than its predecessors.
Cibo Matto: Hotel Valentine
It took 15 whole years before the duo of Miho Hatori and Yuka C. Honda decided to reunite after a breakup-slash-hiatus to release a third album.
VMPRMYTH: HEROINe
It is difficult to understand the statement being made on HEROINe, but it’s also equally clear that one is being made.
Bombay Bicycle Club: So Long, See You Tomorrow
Bombay Bicycle Club is one effing clever band. With their fourth full length, they prove that bandwagon-jumping is key to longevity in a hipster’s playlist.
Actress: Ghettoville
Darren Cunningham’s career as Actress might just be performance art by way of music production.
East India Youth: Total Strife Forever
A debut album that bursts with beauty and boldness that will keep strife away forever.
Laurel Halo: Chance of Rain
It’s not as challenging as some critics have made it out to be, not when Halo’s grilles of beats can so easily ensnare you, body and mind, like how sheets of rain catches a child in awe.
Nils Frahm: Spaces
Both conceptual (in the incorporation of audience and ambient sounds) and not highfalutin (the longest, loudest track is titled ‘For – Peter – Toilet Brushes – More’) it’s neo-classical minimalist musique concrète that’s quite a quiet delight for the senses.
