Deerhunter

Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?

Pop/Rock

The band's fascinating eighth album examines impermanence, inhumanity, and death with songs that sound deceptively life-affirming.

- Heather Phares
James Blake

Assume Form

Electronic, Pop/Rock

Fourth album from the usually downcast producer/singer marks a departure from his distant melancholy, embracing more extroverted themes and moods.

- Fred Thomas
Sharon Van Etten

Remind Me Tomorrow

Pop/Rock

Sharon Van Etten expands her horizons on this darkly comforting album.

- Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Toro y Moi

Outer Peace

Pop/Rock, R&B

Half giddy DFA-influenced dance tracks and half nocturnal Chill&B tracks, the album is a mixed bag of moods and energy levels.

- Tim Sendra
Maggie Rogers

Heard It in a Past Life

Pop/Rock

The singer/songwriter's debut album is filled with polished production and heartfelt performances.
Mike Posner

A Real Good Kid

Juliana Hatfield

Gumba Fire: Bubblegum Soul & Synth Boogie in 1980s South Africa

Buffy Sainte-Marie

Medicine Songs

November 10, 2017

Political Folk

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been as much of an activist as a musician since she cut her first album in 1964, and 2017's Medicine Songs shows her music and her fervor remains strong and thoroughly up-to-date. Featuring two new songs along with revised and re-imagined salvos from her back catalog, this is the sound of a committed artist who refuses to go stale or stop fighting the good fight when it's needed.
