Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises
87

Gorgeous and transcendent piece of electronic and ambient music. More of a singular experience than a collection of tracks.

Sons of Kemet - Black To The Future
75

Starts off explosive and vibrant. Some great fusion of jazz with a variety of other genres. It does fizzle out towards to mid to the end of the album, but still a solid album.

Nas - King’s Disease II
78

Honestly, overall this is just a really solid hip hop album. A few really standout moments like Lauryn Hill's feature. The album is at its strongest in its midsection.

Vince Staples - Vince Staples
67

The production feels a little too minimal and simple to make an impact. This is a very mellow rap album with some solid storytelling, but overall kind of underwhelming.

Iceage - Seek Shelter
77

Definitely enjoy the throwback alt-rock sound of this album. It also has bits of their post punk sound with elements of jazz. Not one the band's best albums but certainly a unique one in their catalog.

82

First time I have listened to Armand Hammer or any project with Billy Woods, and I am very impressed with the lyricism and wordplay at display. The Alchemist also provides just the right surreal and hazy production.

DARKSIDE - Spiral
35

I don’t know why but I struggled with this album even though I’ve enjoyed a grand majority of projects with Nicolas Jaar.

BROCKHAMPTON - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
84

Best album from Brockhampton since the Saturation Trilogy. It is focused, vibrant, and personal.

Playboi Carti - Whole Lotta Red
30

I'm sorry I just don't get the appeal.

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
80

For the most part, Happier Than Ever is a self-assured pop album with solid songwriting and production. Not as thematically consistent, and it does have a few passable tracks in its 2nd half. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying the direction Billie Eilish is going.

Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg
45

Genuinely just couldn’t get into this album.

Black Country, New Road - For the first time
86

A very unique, engaging experimental/post-rock album. Manages to be accessible but yet still sound innovative and challenging at times.

Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend
77

Enjoyed most of it. Some gorgeous tracks, but a few that are a little dull.

Japanese Breakfast - Jubilee
76

Simple, often beautiful arrangement of pop songs. Felt the second half of the album was more memorable than the first half.

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR
87

Yes it's a breakup album coming from a teenager who used to be on Disney shows. However, I'm honestly loving the songwriting, production, and personality to these songs. I'm not going to lie to myself, this an pretty stellar mainstream pop album.

Clairo - Sling
57

Appreciate it at some level, but it honestly just didn't click for me.

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - CARNAGE
83

Another beautifully written and performed album Nick Cave along with Warren Ellis. Poignant and profound.

Benny The Butcher & Harry Fraud - The Plugs I Met 2
65

Benny the Butcher is solid but the songs are a bit formulaic.

serpentwithfeet - DEACON
73

Simple, sweet R&B album, but ultimately isn't very memorable.
