Album Review

Guest writer Josh Ejnes tackles the new EP from Brooklyn singer-songwriter Ciao Malz

Guest writer Mark Moody tackles Geese frontman Cameron Winter's debut solo outing 'Heavy Metal,' which proves a mixed bag

'Scarred for Life,' the latest album from Military Genius, melds bass-heavy R&B, lustrous jazz, and atmospheric dub for a haunting journey through near-death experiences and fatherhood

'444,' the latest hemlock album, settles into wistful gratitude, sharing verdant affection for friends, music, and the world at large

Hoofian's debut EP 'Whirling' is a tapestry of jangly riffs, meditative basslines and poetic wordplay

On 'Lyfestyle,' Yeat falls back on well-tread ground to diminishing returns.

Porridge Radio finds harmony by torching everything to the ground on 'Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me'

The Arrival Note's debut LP '...Home Is So Far from Here' could've come out on Jade Tree or Deep Elm in 1997, but their take on emo doesn't sound tethered to the genre's past.

Self-described as 'glimmer rock,' Vienna Vienna's debut EP 'Wonderland' is high-energy and deceptively dense.

Guest contributor Samuel Morin sings the praises of the Blood Brothers' fourth LP 'Crimes,' which turns twenty years old tomorrow.

On their seventh album 'Synthesizer,' A Place to Bury Strangers mix post-punk and shoegaze with icy precision.

From Austin, Texas, Being Dead is back with their second LP, EELS, via Bayonet Records. It’s a balance of angelic harmonies, art-pop riffs, and surf-rock rhythms, with each song revealing a glimpse into the band's weird and eclectic mind.

On their sophomore LP 'Free Energy,' out now, Dummy's frantic psych-pop is impossible not to move to.

On MJ Lenderman's new LP 'Manning Fireworks,' he plummets back down to Earth after the stratospheric heights of 'Boat Songs.' But, Giliann writes, he hits the ground running, and he's never sounded better.

Hope reviews the expansive, revelatory new beabadoobee album 'This Is How Tomorrow Moves' (out now on Dirty Hit)
