Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes Review
Danger Mouse’s sample-heavy production manages to simultaneously feel nostalgic and futuristic, with enough variation to make each song feel like a new experience.
Rosalía - MOTOMAMI Review
On MOTOMAMI, the dynamic Spanish pop star delivers one of the strongest albums of 2022.
Aldous Harding - Warm Chris Review
Aldous Harding is an odd character. Cheryl Waters from KEXP one asked her if she still had her crazy hat from one of her music video, to which Harding replied ‘Which one?’. It’s this quirkiness that Harding has come to be known by, but it’s her music that truly shines brightest.
Beyoncé - Renaissance Review
This is undoubtedly a dense album. Despite the track "Alien Superstar" claiming twenty-two songwriters in total, it genuinely feels like a window into Beyoncé’s mind, a love letter to the music and parts of Black and queer culture she loves and wants to celebrate.
Angel Olsen - Big Time Review
On Big Time, Olsen is at her most introspective. Delving into her own experiences like never before.
MUNA - MUNA Review
Who is MUNA? The queer band of our dreams. Self-proclaimed creators of “sad soft pop songs for sissies angry girls emo queers and crybabies.” The iconic trio is back with their third record to whip us into a dance-pop frenzy.
Ethel Cain - Preacher’s Daughter Review
Ethel Cain aka Hayden Anhedönia delivers sublime storytelling, punctuating the 76 minute runtime to unravel the lackluster (and in this case, fatal) reality of the American dream over 13 ethereal tracks.
The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention Review
As Yorke has said, this is not a reassuring smile but the kind that lies to you every day.
Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Review
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is an incredibly heartfelt, intimate, and vulnerable album from the once-in-a-lifetime talent that is Kendrick Lamar.
