Reviews

Paris in the Spring

Paris in the Spring

Alexis Taylor
On his seventh solo album, the British singer-songwriter pairs a grab bag of styles—synth-pop balladry, deep house, a Rolling Stones cover—with clearheaded lyrical introspection.
PLAY ME

PLAY ME

Kim Gordon
Kim Gordon’s third solo album is the most populist and literalist music of her career. Her sharp style and wit remain, but absurdity and ambiguity are missed.
Lateral

Lateral

Mammo
The Dutch-Italian musician pays tribute to classic dub techno and leftfield ambient music on a 3xLP of ruminative rhythms and sumptuous tone colors.
early life crisis

early life crisis

Nettspend
The teen phenom’s new album faceplants with reheated rage production, Cartispeak, and faux pain rap that never quite becomes his own.
Exuvie

Exuvie

Noémi Büchi
Finding inspiration in ancient warfare and molting insects, the pianist and sound artist dissects her influences with abandon, rendering classical forms in a visceral, digitally mangled smear.

    Oneohtrix Point Never
    Best New Album
    Drawing on a cache of commercial sample CDs, Daniel Lopatin assembles an impossibly dense and transportive electronic album that takes impermanence as its inspiration.

    Addison Rae
    The girlypop album of summer warrants comparison to Lana, Madonna, and most of all, Britney. Are we ready for Addison?

    Rosalía
    Best New Album
    The Spanish singer’s fourth record is a heartfelt offering of avant-garde classical pop that roars through genre, romance, and religion.
  • Stardust

    Danny Brown
    Working with a new vanguard of outsider electronic artists, the Detroit rapper lets his freak flag fry. The results are shaky but full of heart.
  • West End Girl

    West End Girl

    Lily Allen
    With an album that doubles as an insider’s account of a tabloid divorce, the singer finds a new evolution of her signature style: Lightness isn’t a foil for irony, but a vehicle for hurt.
  • Lil Herb

    Lil Herb

    G Herbo
    Stepping into his teenage shoes for a loose concept album, the Chicago icon reflects on the original era of drill with the clarity of a scene veteran.
  • Repulsor

    Repulsor

    Shlohmo
    The L.A. beatmaker turns aggressive on his fourth album—dialing up the distortion, flooding his beats with overdriven synths, and pushing anxious moods into the red.
