Cat Power - Wanderer
55

No disrespect intended but this sounds like an open mic night. Still lovely.

Jóhann Jóhannsson - Virðulegu Forsetar
95

As unchanging as the music may be, if you give this music the time and patience it deserves, it changes you. In the same echelon as Gavin Bryar's truly memorable 'Jesus' Love Never Failed Me Yet'.

Pinegrove - Skylight
65

Though a somewhat different direction to their last release there isn't a plethora of new ideas here. Underwhelmed is one way to put it.

Swamp Dogg - Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune
80

A delight from start to finish. For the first time in a while the auto-tune somehow increased the enjoyment gained from this.

Waxahatchee - Great Thunder
60

Don't neccesarily go along with the notion these songs are enhanced with this increase in production and nuance, but it still does showcase her talents with damning lyrical songwriting.. Fine.

The Ophelias - Almost
70

Immediately intrigued by what felt like a uniqueness in the field of indie pop. What followed was a soft wave of pleasentries. Which is fine.

Kenny Segal - Happy Little Trees
70

Supremely lush and there ain't anything wrong with that. The songs are, at once, present and a far distance away.

JEFF the Brotherhood - Magick Songs
65

A bizarro JEFF album where it gets better as it goes on. Unfortunately for them (as the first half is a steep change in direction) is that's when they sound the most like old JEFF.

Mass Gothic - I've Tortured You Long Enough
40

Apologies to be sent to every indie band from 2005-2010. I was bored to tears.

70

Unfortunately everything sounds like an outro, except the intro. Though that also kind of sounds like an outro. Still great.
