Tune in to ‘Magic Oneohtrix Point Never’

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 3, 2020

Some time between sundown and sunup, the black-on-black meeting of the narrow winding road and the hollow, empty horizon is broken up by the stanchions of modernity, the piercing neon pronouncements of business and the arrival of civilization. The static on the car radio gives way to the friendly canned sweeper of your favorite station,

FKA twigs and the beautiful ‘MAGDALENE’

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 12, 2019

FKA twigs is one of those musical artists who is elevated above the noise, separated from the pack. She’s been acclaimed since her first full length release, “LP1” from 2014, although she’s never fully entered into the mainstream pop arena or achieved any degree of wild commercial success.  Quiet and selective when it comes to

Aphex Twin breaks new sonic ground on ‘Collapse EP’

Patrick Witteman | Thursday, October 4, 2018

Richard D. James is having a late-career renaissance. Early in his career, James pioneered an electronic sound that would dramatically influence the electronic dance music and intelligent dance music (dance music that transcended clubs) scenes for years to come. After taking a 13-year hiatus following his album “drukqs,” Aphex Twin has released new material that

JPEGMAFIA experiments with rap on ‘Veteran’

Ryan Israel | Monday, February 12, 2018

“It’s weird, but it’s kinda cool,” are the six words I have used numerous times when trying to convince friends to listen JPEGMAFIA’s newest album “Veteran.” JPEGMAFIA, who often refers to himself as Peggy in his songs, creates a musical sound that is hard to pin down to any one genre, partly due to his

BØRNS plays to his strengths on ‘Blue Madonna’

Grace Weissend | Tuesday, January 23, 2018

On Garrett Borns’ sophomore album as BØRNS, the indie pop artist sticks to what he knows. “Blue Madonna” is 12 tracks of airy, danceable, lustful pop music, and it’s exactly what one would expect from a BØRNS album in the best way. “Faded Heart” was the first bit of “Blue Madonna” to hit the airwaves

The return of Fever Ray

Hanna Kennedy | Friday, November 17, 2017

Fever Ray — the solo project from the Knife’s Karin Dreijer — surprise released “Plunge” in late October on select streaming services. “Plunge” is Fever Ray’s second studio album. Nearly nine years since the release of her self-titled first project, “Fever Ray,” “Plunge” strikes the listener as a bold exploration of Dreijer’s artistic evolution as

Kelela’s ‘Take Me Apart’ will take you apart

Adrian Mark Lore | Friday, November 3, 2017

  Kelela Mizanekristos has been pushing the envelope with her music for the better part of the past five years. Her “Hallucinogen” EP — released two years ago — showcased the Ethiopian-American vocalist’s songwriting skill and affective creative vision, honed over years of eclectic vocal work under disparate genres like indie rock and even metal.

Klein plunges into madness on ‘Tommy’ EP

Adrian Mark Lore | Thursday, October 26, 2017

“Unbreak my heart.” Thus, someone opens Klein’s “Tommy” EP with the innocuously-titled “Prologue.” Perhaps it’s the Los Angeles-based producer herself on the microphone, but the voice could just as well belong to one of several friends gathered at the improvisational recording session. The opening line is followed by laughter and jovially intimate studio banter, but

Mount Kimbie’s new record is perfectly fine, at best

Adrian Mark Lore | Thursday, September 21, 2017

What’s that band you wholeheartedly enjoy, wholeheartedly trust — yet which nobody else seems to notice? For me, that’s easily Mount Kimbie. I’d been converted many years ago, upon the release of “Cold Spring Fault Less Youth,” their 2013 sophomore full-length record; it was one of the first vinyl records I ever owned. Still today,

Grizzly Bear: (Not) too big to fail

Adrian Mark Lore | Wednesday, August 30, 2017

  Grizzly Bear seemed like one of those bands that’s just too big to fail. The band’s painstakingly produced records have been virtually flawless in the past, as far as the indie rock scene is concerned. Grounded on perfectionism and subtle progression, records like “Veckatimest” and “Shields” were landmarks to which other indie rock bands
