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.
Money // Suicide Songs
by Nick Warren
2/17/2016, 2:00 PM
Money's sophomore release captures a melancholy beauty.
Junior Boys // Big Black Coat
by Matt Swanseger
2/17/2016, 1:10 PM
The Junior Boys' fifth album is a welcome reminder of the depths synthesized music can reach – without necessarily blowing out your subwoofers.
Anderson .Paak // Malibu
by Nick Warren
2/3/2016, 3:15 PM
Anderson .Paak soulfully blends hip hop and R&B into a wonderful story.
Daughter // Not To Disappear
by Nick Warren
2/3/2016, 1:30 PM
Somber echoes waft throughout Not To Disappear.
Maniacal Device // Love Skull
by Nick Warren
2/3/2016, 11:45 AM
Brutal, fast, and maybe a little evil, that's the Maniacal Device way.
Savages // Adore Life
by Nick Warren
2/3/2016, 10:00 AM
2013's Silence Yourself was a lot to live up to, but Adore Life succeeds.
Sea Pinks // Soft Days
by Nick Warren
1/20/2016, 2:15 PM
Every track on Soft Days is a delightful, catchy, indie gem.
David Bowie // Blackstar
by Nick Warren
1/20/2016, 12:30 PM
We might never see another record like this.
