Messy, dreamy, jazzy indie country folk

Portrayal of Guilt - ...Beginning of The End
70

Wonky riffs, screamy voice, normal voice, rap?

Miss Grit - Under My Umbrella
84

Scary robot lady sadly dances.

Kristen Gallerneaux - Life Day
60

NOW that's what I call coma music.

Foo Fighters - Your Favorite Toy
65

The first song is pretty good, then the rest just get caught in the echo of it.

Friko - Something Worth Waiting For
80

Dim Eyes strike again.

KINACT - Kinshasa In Action
75

Chaotic, communal power tool music.

They Might Be Giants - The World Is to Dig
82

“It's the flawiest flaw that you have ever saw.”

TMBG is my favorite band. I don’t think they have a bad album. At the same time, I don’t think they have a perfect album either. That trend continues here. I’ve said for years that they need to branch out of their basic piano-guitar-drum arrangements, but they remain set in their ways. Still, I’ll take a new handful of tautological Linnell bangers and mid-tempo Flansburgh jams anyday.

upsammy - Seismo
70

Philip Glass made muzac for an elevator to space.

Star Moles - Highway to Hell
85

Clever, catchy indie bedroom folk pop.

Juvenile - Boiling Point
85

Never count an elder cranium out.

Ashley Monroe - Dear Nashville
78

This isn't the album to listen to the week after you move to Nashville.

The New Pornographers - The Former Site Of
80

The New Pornographers are now The New Calligraphers.

This is the consequence of middle age.

Angine de Poitrine - Vol.II
82

Funky microtonal Muppet music

Courtney Barnett - Creature of Habit
80

As the title implies, Courtney isn't trying anything new here, but it's still nice to hear from her again.

Chalk - Crystalpunk
70

Giorgio Moroder would approve.

Bruce Hornsby - Indigo Park
80

Country-tinged pop that goes in weird directions here and there.

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
86

Dumb, infectious club music

Kanye West - BULLY
60

Did Kanye's Dropbox demos folder get hacked?
