Boards of Canada - Inferno
80

For the average listener, Boards of Canada can easily be dismissed as background music. My girlfriend even called it elevator music when it was playing in my car. But if you truly focus on what Inferno has to offer, that is when it slowly begins to reveal itself.

There is a dreamlike quality flowing throughout the 70 minute experience that makes it feel as if you are floating through a hazy, half remembered world. The atmosphere is immersive and hypnotic, pulling you deeper with every track. ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
70

Jpegmafia has always been praised for his adventurous sound and constant experimentation. I've been following him since Veteran, and I've enjoyed every release since then. Recently, he has been caught up in several controversies that sparked a lot of discussion within his fanbase. To be clear, I never judge music based on the personality behind it, so I will not take that into account here.

Genesis Owusu - REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE
85

First time digging into Genesis Owusu, I expected a straightforward pop or soul record based on what I had heard before, which usually is not really my thing. What a surprise this turned out to be. The album is far more experimental than I anticipated, blending styles effortlessly while maintaining an infectious energy from start to finish.

One moment you are pulled into deeply reflective passages touching on important personal and social themes, and the next you are hit with funky, explosive ... read more

The Lemon Twigs - Look for Your Mind!
85

Clearly inspired by the sounds of the 60s, Look For Your Mind! does not feel like an album released in 2026 at all. From the warm production to the dreamy harmonies and colorful melodies, it genuinely sounds like it could have been recorded six decades ago. What makes it even more impressive is how naturally the band pulls it off. Plenty of artists try to recreate that classic psychedelic pop sound, but very few manage to capture the charm and authenticity without feeling forced or ... read more

American Football - American Football
70

LP4 from American Football is a solid entry in their catalog, one that leans comfortably into the sound they have been refining for more than two decades. Despite having only four albums to their name, each release carries a certain weight, almost like a rare occasion rather than just another drop in an endless stream of music. That scarcity naturally builds anticipation, and with anticipation comes a level of expectation that is not always easy to meet.

The album delivers many of the elements ... read more
