Weezer // Weezer
by Nick Warren
4/13/2016, 10:00 AM
The real tragedy here is that the low points overshadow the highs so much.
Bent Shapes // Wolves of Want
by Nick Warren
3/30/2016, 2:15 PM
The treble-heavy twee of the Boston quartet is infectious.
Iggy Pop // Post Pop Depression
by Nick Warren
3/30/2016, 12:30 PM
This is the best record Iggy Pop has made in quite a long time.
Into It. Over It. // Standards
by Nick Warren
3/30/2016, 10:45 AM
Maybe it's my sense of early 2000s nostalgia talking, but this is a loveable record.
Field Music // Commontime
by Matt Swanseger
3/30/2016, 9:35 AM
The British Isles have a curious penchant for cultivating clever songwriters.
Quilt // Plaza
by Nick Warren
3/16/2016, 2:15 PM
Keven Lareau's melodic lines are a welcome addition compared to Quilt's previous efforts.
Esperanza Spalding // Emily's D+Evolution
by Nick Warren
3/16/2016, 12:30 PM
Esperanza Spalding was quickly hoisted up as one of the saviors of modern jazz.
Robert Pollard // Of Course You Are
by Nick Warren
3/16/2016, 10:45 AM
This album is able to go toe-to-toe with most other GBV related releases.
Kendrick Lamar // untitled unmastered
by Nick Warren
3/16/2016, 9:00 AM
The user is left to differentiate each song for themselves, psychologically tying all eight cuts tightly together.
Snarky Puppy // Family Dinner, Vol. 2
by Nick Warren
3/2/2016, 3:30 PM
This album is essentially a soundtrack, with Snarky Puppy serving as the backing band.
Animal Collective // Painting With
by Nick Warren
3/2/2016, 2:00 PM
The album is easy to listen to, and warrants multiple playbacks, it just leaves the listener a little out of breath.
The Frights // You Are Going to Hate This
by Nick Warren
3/2/2016, 12:00 PM
Their sophomore release finds itself much tighter and singable than the unchanging springy surf-punk of their self-titled debut.
Kanye West // The Life of Pablo
by Nick Warren
3/2/2016, 10:00 AM
Every song on The Life of Pablo is worth examining, from the minimalist gospel ear-worm of "Ultralight Beam" to the deep-cut mashup of "Fade."
Diiv // Is the Is Are
by Nick Warren
2/17/2016, 6:00 PM
This record sounds great, but it won't be the watershed that Oshin was.
Black Tusk // Pillars of Ash
by Nick Warren
2/17/2016, 4:00 PM
Black Tusk rips it apart with Pillars of Ash.
