Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
100
Throughout Yo La Tengo's career of assembling albums tightly knit with a blend of bombastic noise pop and beautiful indie rock, this record marks the first time they near completely lean in to the ladder of their two main styles. This simple stylistic choice and shift brings something enlightening to the greater scope of Yo La Tengo, something so remarkable it is enough for me to easily regard it as their magnum opus.

And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out embellishes itself in subtlety. It ... read more

Fennesz - Endless Summer
80
Holding the last slivers of sunlight to my chest, cherishing the memories of warmth as everything around me goes monochrome. This is all I have to cling on to. As I look over, I can see the sun fall behind the mountains and slowly extinguish the candle that lit up the sky.
Various Artists - Soundboy's Gravestone Gets Desecrated by Vandals
80
A collection of the best work from some of the most inspiring dubstep innovators.

Shackleton and Appleblim joined forces in 2005 with the intention of creating "interesting bass music" and "interesting percussive stuff."

Mala - Changes / Forgive
80
Changes will likely immediately evoke a "I know this from somewhere," whether that certain somewhere is apparent or not. Changes is a pretty good dubstep song with its catchy, haunting vocal sample and pounding bass, but it isn't worth mentioning too much in a review where the focus is the other song in this release.

There's a lot to admire about the early dubstep scene. It flipped many things about UK music culture on its head, namely the celebratory party environment, the ... read more

Graham Lambkin - Aphorisms
75
Whatever memories that were there have been buried by the wind and anomalous disruptions. Whatever sunlight that was there is now darkened besides the cracks which it seeps through.
