"Jai Raj Paul appeared on MySpace in 2007 but became famous in 2010, with a contract with XL Recordings. Then there was the leak that changed everything: on Bandcamp, a collection of songs by Jai, the press is excited and announces the release of a long-awaited debut album. In 2019, after seven ye..."

"Bill Evans gets a bit overshadowed here; he's great, but he's not mic-ed up great and he's not bringing the harder edges the other players are. Eric Dolphy on this album, oh my god. Check out Yearnin', where he plays the last part of the head with total precision, and then immediately goes wailin..." [+] Reply

"Rapping records in the late 80s came out, it seemed, on a near weekly basis that upped the game on the last. The lead single and title track on this, just like the first single on the debut, upped the game to such an extent that it just left all competition destroyed. Well, competition is none eh..."

"Highly underrated debut from Shakey, as his style would be more defined by his next album. This record continues Neil's work he contributed to the last two Buffalo Springfield albums (produced separately before the group disbanded). It's beautiful psychedelic folk rock. I'm surprised Kanye West o..." [+] Reply

"You'd never know it by hit "All I Wanna Do" that she struggled for a while to start her career off in her own way, not how a record company would want to present her. Regardless, the pop/rock on display here is pretty masterful for a debut album. Filtered through her version of Stevie Nicks, a lo..." [+] Reply

"Seventh Tree is perfect for early autumn, when the animals are still around but the leaves are starting to fall. Warm, fleeting folktronica soundscapes form a pastoral backdrop to art pop lyrics that primarily deal with the strangeness of humans and the many methods of achieving temporary happine..." [+] Reply
