Grizzly Bear came back after five years of break. While their previous LP, Shields, was a marvel full of imaginative and sophisticated compositions, Painted Ruins were expected to deliver pretty much the same. But let’s be clear. It did not. Promotional singles were a prelude to what became a compilation of well executed, but watered-down, overwhelming compilation of songs that provides occasional splendor, but generally lack coherency.
There is no running away from comparing Painted ... read more
Brian Eno’s latest album is a pensive New Year’s gift for all people who love experimenting with musical collages. Single 54-minute track is a long, dark, melancholic, meditative, subtle. It’s something radically different from the most of what contemporary popular music has to offer. Maybe that’s why listening to it feels like something divine and sacred, even though it’s sunken into so much darkness. It’s not as varied as his last year’s The Ship, and ... read more
It’s hard to record an album after such disquieting masterpiece like The Terror. At first listen, Oczy Mlody sounded like a weird, space-dream-synth-experimental rendition of Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine.

What’s more, Avalon and Mrs. Adams reminds me a lot of ABBA’s style of songwriting, which makes Hang even more ... read more
Well, this LP is just great. It’s full of energy, full of life, full of fun. Japandroids’ latest is a garage rock went full heartland rock, or heartland rock went full garage rock. It’s like listening to MC5 covering Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark. Of course, some may find it too exaggerated, anthemic or pompous, and the songs might have been a little better, but whatever. I like listening to Tom Petty singing Lust for Life. And yes, Near to the Wild Heart of Life is ... read more
