King Princess // New Sounds 2019
"From her run of singles, it's clear that KP has an intuition for the catchy, hooky, and the popular. So, it's only a matter of time before the world treats her like the Patron Saint of Gay."
Tommy Genesis // Interview
"I have always gone where other people don't. It's not to shock you, it’s just who I am."
Kurt Vile – Bottle It In // Album Review
It's best listened to when the air is cooling, with a blanket wrapped around you on a deserted beach as each guitar pedal takes on a personality of its own.
Mitski // Interview
"The whole album rallies the desperation of growing old against the aspiration of youth."
Dirty Projectors – Lamp Lit Prose // Album Review
A true fusion of love and collectivity was the band's real draw. Now, it's quite apparent that Dirty Projectors is not much more than a single avatar pretending to be otherwise.
Chvrches – Love Is Dead // Album Review
The sound is maximised, the mythology more ambitious and it's their most cohesive work yet.
Speedy Ortiz – Twerp Verse // Album Review
But despite the doom there's hardly a moment among these 11 songs that isn't danceable, that doesn't energise us and inspire us to defeat this generation's great monster.
Speedy Ortiz // Interview
"Being on tour in the two months following the election...I think just made me feel differently about our country."
Frankie Cosmos – Vessel // Album Review
Listening to Vessel is like being invited into your coolest friend's bedroom to hear them riff.
Alela Diane – Cusp // Album Review
Cusp is exactly the kind of album you'd hope to hear two months into a new year.
Samantha Urbani – Policies of Power // EP Review
Samantha Urbani's debut EP is laced with gross 1980s excess - but is that a good thing?
Waxahatchee – Out In The Storm // Album Review
Out In The Storm is an out-of-body experience - told both retrospectively and introspectively.
