New Reviews for April 19, 2024
EMI Records / Monkeywrench
An unexpectedly sleek and streamlined evocation of the alt-rock band's 1990s prime.
Verve
The great songwriter and producer's first set of new songs in almost 20 years is simple, eloquent, and emotionally powerful.
Pure Noise
The band's tenth album is packed with the surging emotions and melodies fans expect, as well as a surprising amount of wisdom and joy.
Big Machine Records
The late country-pop singer's 2011 record Ghost on the Canvas is revised as a duets album.
Communion Records
A jazzier, more collaborative fifth album from the U.K. singer/songwriter, informed by working with Logic and Kwes., and inspired by major life events.
Blue Note
The guitarist leads his trio on this lush orchestral collaboration with arranger Michael Gibbs.
Ipecac
Monolithic five-track full-length from these heroes of heaviness that was collaged together and expanded on from heavily edited source material.

1955
One of the vocalist's greatest and least likely successes, this biopic saw her take a dramatic turn after a string of light musical comedies. Though she looked and sounded nothing like the subject, Ruth Etting (whose 1920s and '30s recordings were long out of print by that time), it became the best-selling album of Day's career, spending months at the top of the Billboard album chart with her takes on songs like the title track, "Ten Cents Dance," and "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)."
