New Reviews for May 3, 2024
Warner Records
With the help of Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, the pop star takes the high road after a breakup with this focused third set.
Atlantic
The tenth studio set from the Aussie pop wiz matches the power and intensity of her mid-2010s mainstream peak.
Young
Using the idea of dance as a creative and physical engine, the saxophonist's star-studded cast travel across jazz, funk, fusion, R&B, and more.
Warp
Gathering demos for what would have been the pioneering electronic pop duo's fifth album, this collection abounds with raw brilliance.
Merge
Beautifully sad, warmly played and sung album about death and healing made with subtle country-rock and electronic accents.
Matador
A sonically thrilling and rallying dispatch from the Niger-based guitar hero.
Captured Tracks
The '70s-inspired power pop band mixes up their subjects of obsession, re-creating styles of the Beach Boys, '70s power pop, soft rock, and the Beatles.
Merge
With Ross Orton producing, mixing, and programming for the first time, the band comes off as a driving, futurist funk machine.

Filled with skipping beats, old-school synths, and digitally tweaked vocals, the French group's fourth album doesn't just go pop -- it explodes with songs so immediate, so weird, and so bright that they're virtually fluorescent. Though DAT Politics took themselves less seriously than many of the other electronic innovators of the mid-2000s on Wow Twist, the album is day-glo proof that forward-thinking music doesn't have to be somber.
