"A good attempt at something more. Not as poignant as their first and a bit of a deception in comparison. A worthy listen nonetheless. It's unfortunate they couldn't expand on that since the lead singer took his own life, samurai style. The tone of this album does suggest that Dédé (the lead singe..."  [+]  Reply

"The black rider, is Tom Waits collaboration with William Burroughs and Robert Wilson, and is based on a German folk tale, it's one of Waits' most challenging albums. Still, as all Waits records, there are some fantastic tracks here. Just the right bullets, November, i'll shoot the moon, and the e..."  [+]  Reply

"If there’s a surfeit of nineties-remembering artists these days, there are many, many more whose entire style is about taking the iconography of the internet and mashing it all up “ironically”. Holly Herndon has some of this going on throughout Platform but actually she’s got a lot to say about a..."  [+]  Reply

"Will someone please tell me why America didn't love this? The 2nd album from Gomez was a hit just about everywhere in the world except for the US. It's loaded with great hooks, from "Hangover" and "Bring It On" to "Rhythm & Blues Alibi" and "Fill My Cup". I remember sitting in traffic with Ann on..."  [+]  Reply

"Stumpwork sees Dry Cleaning cleaning up their act – all the grit from their post-punk debut is pretty much gone. As much as I too wanna go see the otters and the water caterpillars, this subdued, instrumentally eclectic follow-up doesn't hold my attention. It lacks the visceral insistence on its ..."  [+]  Reply

Sci-Fi Lullabies 
Compilation
"Very few bands, if any, have B-sides as strong as early suede. The first disk of Sci-Fi is as good, if not better, as suede and dog man star. I think if disk one had been released as a 3rd anderson/butler's suede album it would rank alot higher on the site. Disk two is pretty forgetable however"  Reply
