Jeff Tweedy - Love Is The King
76

Actually like this more than I anticipated. It's the most consistent record from the Wilcoverse in quite some time IMO

Ariana Grande - Positions
69

A few bangers, a few duds. Far from her best

Adrianne Lenker - instrumentals
82

This one's really nice too. I should listen to more instrumental folk...

Adrianne Lenker - songs
89

Something about this record, but I connect with it in a way I really haven't with previous solo stuff from Adrienne or even Big Thief stuff. Really beautiful record. Simple and lovely

clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned
70

ugh I wish I liked it and all of clipping. more. They have moments and songs, but I can't fully connect with any of their records, even though I appreciate it's good

The Naked and Famous - Recover
60

Been putting off listening to this for a while, and now I remember why. Everything they've done since their debut has been so bad

Kevin Morby - Sundowner
76

Nice bounce back effort from Kevin after a pretty terrible album a few years ago

Bartees Strange - Live Forever
79

This thing is kinda all over the place, and kinda to a fault I think tries to do too much. That said, the second half is fantastic, and adds enough eclectic flare to make a very promising debut.

Future Islands - As Long as You Are
70

If you like the rest of their stuff you'll probably be cool with it. I'ts fine, but doesn't reinvent the wheel

SAULT - Untitled (Rise)
89

This is the protest album I was kinda hoping we'd see this year. I'm not sure it's fair to call it that, because more than that it's an expression of self. It's amazing. Hope it is more widely reviewed. Excited to go back and listen to the rest of their stuff.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
84

I don't know when this album went on apple music, but it wasn't for a while so I finally listened for the first time. It's very good!

Sufjan Stevens - The Ascension
68

Just not what I listen to Sufjan for. But I'm sure it's what others are looking for

IDLES - Ultra Mono
81

Why does Pitchfork hate Idles so much? I don't understand

The Flaming Lips - American Head
72

I think it's their best effort in a while, tbh, but I'll probably never play it willingly all the way through. Pleasant. Fades to the background

Everything Everything - RE-ANIMATOR
86

Shit I actually liked this one, and I haven't been super into them in the past. Every song is so damn catchy

Fleet Foxes - Shore
71

So Fleet Foxes are one of my top 3 artists ever, along with Joanna & Nick Drake. So it pains me to write that I found this kinda boring. Gone are the lush harmonies of their first two albums. Gone are the experimental folk moments of their last two. Instead, we're left with a pretty boring, lush, but still pleasant folk rock record.

Conway the Machine - From King to a GOD
77

Some boring moments, and I could do without interludes bragging about him, but his flow is pretty good. Solid record

Doves - The Universal Want
78

A new Doves album was quite a surprise to see! And while it's no "Last Broadcast" it's got some of their classic sound with ethereal, quick hooks and interesting progressions. A welcome return!
