Album Review

The highly anticipated conclusion to the trilogy of albums that has springboarded American boyband BROCKHAMPTON into the eyes and ears of the public is finally here. The finale, SATURATION III, has all the char...

My own personal experience with Seal and his music takes me back to my high school choir days when my vocal jazz group sang an a cappella rendition of his Grammy-winning song “Kissed By a Rose”. It was one ...

The first time I ever became aware of Jaden Smith’s existence was when I watched Pursuit of Happyness (2006), starring him and Will Smith, for the first time as a child. I encountered him again in The Karate ...

Our favorite seafaring, independently produced musical duo, Tennis, released their new EP last Friday. Those fond of Tennis’ light and airy tracks can be relieved that We Can Die Happy (2017) contains similar...

Moses Sumney is talented, majorly talented. If the first minute of his show couldn’t tell you that, his features on tracks of big name artists like Flume (“Weekend”) and Solange (“Mad”) should.  With...

Rostam Batmanglij’s debut solo album is everything but a debut solo album. While Half-Light (2017) may be the musician’s first headlining release, it’s far from being his first work or industry launch. Fo...

The last time Arcade Fire was heard, they were electrifying. But when you play with electricity, you get shocked. Their latest album, Everything Now (2017), barely contains the defining characteristics of a cla...

Crack-Up (2017) is an appropriate title for the mosaic-like compilation of sharp, shard-like transitions and eclectic blend of sounds heard in the third album by the Seattle-based group Fleet Foxes. Unlike Fle...

Cigarettes After Sex’s music is reminiscent of slow dancing at two in the morning in your bedroom with the lights turned off. The softness of Greg Gonzalez’s voice and the lingering caress of the guitar’s...

“1, 2, 3 will you list it off to me? How you’re sorry you feel weird in a jubilation dream” is what the Girlpool girls whisper at the top of their third full-length -- and, of course, still wonderfully wr...

How do I even begin to formulate language around an album that initially left me speechless? I don’t know, but here goes nothing: On April 14th, 2017, a day that will be remembered for years to come, Kend...

The Chainsmokers catch a lot of flack. Since the release of their first hit, 2014’s infamous “#SELFIE”, the EDM-lite NYC DJ duo has drawn constant criticism for their signature sound of “not electronic ...

The New Pornographers have always been our favorite consistently palatable indie power-pop group. Though their albums are never drastically different from the previous, subtle changes allow them to explore the ...
