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.

As a newcomer to Editions Mego, Klara Lewis' full-length debut album sits comfortably alongside some of her peers on the label like Fennesz and Oneohtrix Point Never, and is a very impressive effort. For a debut, it's a very rich, mature, and engaging listen with joyous moments -- electronic landscapes with a special attention to detail and a warm, conscious human input. It's for people who love low pulsating basses, industrial sounds, reverberated pops, and music that frequently drifts between the tranquil and unnerving.
