James Blake - Overgrown
Paste
64

He hasn’t grown enough as a lyricist to carry his piano-based compositions, and as a producer, he’s shown a more stylish hand with diva turns and silence than his own voice

Phosphorescent - Muchacho
Paste
93

Muchacho recapitulates that moment of love’s collapse and catapults out into the companionable lonesome that waits. 

Brandt Brauer Frick - Miami
Paste
81

Regardless of what plays out onscreen, Miami shows an inventive collective in the act of reinvention, their recorded output transitioning from concepts to compositions to living breathing body-moving songs.

Autre Ne Veut - Anxiety
Paste
87

Anxiety stilettos gut-wrenched entrenched psycho-sexual seductive destructive obsessive push and pull over accreting and ascendant deep soul jams

Christopher Owens - Lysandre
Paste
70

Fans of Girls may be surprised by how thoroughly Owen’s surf, punk and shoegaze influences have been whitewashed from the mix.

Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
Paste
52

The irony of Bish Bosch is that in its extra-terrestrial grab for timelessness, Walker ends up lightyears from the qualities that made his art timeless
