"Didn't realize this was all one person, and she's FANTASTIC! Why is no one talking about her??? Especially now, in the age of St. Vincent, Brittany Daniels, and Mitski, I think Tash should be more than included in the convo for great female talent (or just great talent) among modern guitarists.

"Crazy to think that this concept came to be from 4chan, after asking users for two genres that might make an interesting blend.. SO GLAD this happened to be a suggestion (black metal / negro music), because it is fantastic. Very Algiers-like, but on the heavier side or course. Would definitely re..."  [+]  Reply

"As an album that is described to be "curated by Kendrick Lamar", it's not surprising that nearly all the best tracks feature him. ("All the Stars", "King's Dead", "Big Shot", etc.) These songs really are enjoyable, and wouldn't even look out of place on an official Kendrick LP. There are a few th..."  [+]  Reply

"Always a challenge. Typically off-beat and intricate. Humour in the lyrics and the variation between verse and chorus in the opening track starts off as jarring but then draws you in."  Reply

"First album of brand new material from Elvis for eight years. Leading up to the release of the album talk has been about the record being a meeting of, Imperial bedroom, and, Painted from memory, and I can see that but it's the latter it's closer too for me. Opener, Under lime, is great and sets ..."  [+]  Reply

"Soft and sweet neo soul for lazy Sunday mornings. Jorja Smith's debut isn't particularly captivating nor catchy, but that doesn't appear to be the point anyway.
