I’ve never really enjoyed Milo as much as his Hellfyre Club mates Busdriver and Open Mike Eagle, but recording here under the moniker R.A.P. Ferreira he has produced a hip hop masterpiece. The jazzy production and backing performance by the Jefferson Park Boys (Mike Parvizi, Aaron Carmack, and Kenny Segal) deserves a fair share of the credit. The trio provides the perfect backdrop for Milo to reach his full potential and shine.

It’s time to give Kevin Barnes the credit he deserves. There are few contemporary artists who have stayed as relevant for as long as of Montreal. Names like Radiohead, Björk, Low, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and Wilco come to mind as artists whose work has spanned the past 25 or so years with of Montreal’s consistency. Just as with those artists, the key for Kevin Barnes’ has been reinvention. He’s never settled on making the same record over and over. With UR FUN, he digs into early 80s synth pop music for inspiration. He’s fully emerged out of the darker claustrophobic psychedelia of past records. Where the fallout of his dissolving marriage led to the unsettling claustrophobia of Paralytic Stalks, years later the early days of Barnes’ relationship with Christina Schnieder of Locate S,1 has resulted in some of the most straight-forward, fun pop songs of Montreal has recorded in years.

For all those who were captivated by the experimental side of Wilco on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, their Chicago contemporaries have been working within a similar terrain for a couple of decades now, often taking the experimentation further. Their first album in seven years may be a score for a dance movement, but it’s more or less classic Califone at their best. 2013’s Stitches may have been the trio’s most straightforward release, but Echo Mine relishes in atmosphere and texture, making for one of their most sonically adventurous listens to date.

Usually when a young artist receives an overwhelming wave of hype, it seems to be more of a product of "look how good they are for their age" rather than anything more. Archie Marshall aka King Krule is a major exception. Everything he's done since his 2013 debut has been refreshingly original. He's been able to combine the darker tones of UK garage with punk attitude and refined songwriting chops for a sound that could be the soundtrack for a seedy underground drug film. Man Alive! may be his murkiest record yet, often settling into a slow, gloomy groove that some may find unexciting, but it's within that dreary atmosphere in which Marshall delivers some of his most compelling arrangements.

It took a couple listens to sink in, but Caribou's latest album has really won me over. One of the things that has made Dan Snaith's project so exciting over the years is that he has continuously reinvented his sound, incorporating new elements along the way. On the surface, Suddenly is a bright dance record built to get a crowd moving. just beneath that surface is a meticulously arranged experimental pop record in which Snaith's wide-ranging love of music is expressed beautifully.

With Blur, Damon Albarn left an everlasting impact on British popular music. The band will deservedly forever has a place as the most influential band of the 90s Britpop scene. Blur's discography holds a special place in my own musical heart as well. When he released the first Gorillaz album, it didn't seem like it'd be anything more than a short-lived side project. Nearly two decades since "Clint Eastwood" made the "virtual" band a household name, I've begun to wonder if Gorillaz will actually go down Albarn's most impactful project. Far bigger in the United States than Blur ever was, the Gorillaz discography has been wildly adventurous and loaded with high profile collaborations. As the project has grown, Gorillaz albums have sort of turned into incredible mixtapes of an eclectic guest list of pop stars, elder statesmen and up-and-coming artists. More or less abandoning the proper album format in 2020, their latest project Song Machine finds the Gorillaz releasing one new single and video each month. In other words, the focus is entirely on the songs, though they've been compiled here in album format. The songs are consistently great, making for my personal favorite Gorillaz release since the brilliant Plastic Beach. Only on a Gorillaz record could you find a roster of collaborators that includes Elton John, Robert Smith, Tony Allen, slowthai, Octavian, Beck, Joan As Police Woman and Unknown Mortal Orchestra—and that list only scratches the surface.

I'm just diving into Bandcamp this year. #1 source. I've heard some duds for sure, but it's been rewarding. I'm finding a lot of publications being overly negative and a little boring as of late and I'm not sure why... straying away from them for the time being. The slate for the spring looks crazy packed too, I'm sure you won't have any problems finding yourself buried underneath an unending queue.
