New Reviews for October 4, 2024
Atlantic / MULTIPLE
On this sibling set to Music of the Spheres, the band remains in orbit, trying to unite the universe with positivity and love.
Merge
Dan Snaith extends the club-friendly sound of his work as Daphni into his main project, resulting in his most outwardly expressive music.
Matador
Band that includes members of Pavement, Superwolves, the Cairo Gang, and Dirty Three, combining the sum of their parts and then piling on more guitars.
Columbia
An inviting, emotionally complex nostalgia trip taken primarily with Kacey Musgraves collaborators Ian Fitchuk, Daniel Tashian, and Josh Moore.
Anti-
Mixing warm orchestral textures with eerie synths and distorted effects, and themes of loss with aspiration, LP six eludes simplicity.
Constellation
The Canadian ensemble's most explicitly political work is triumphant and uplifting rather than bleak and mournful.
Various Artists
Ace
Classics and deep cuts from SWV, Jade, Karyn White, En Vogue, and other women who exemplified contemporary R&B in the post-Control era.
Cooking Vinyl
In honor of Alf's 40th anniversary, she revisits her solo catalog with 16 remakes (and two originals) chosen for their current thematic relevance.

1974
Odds & Sods, released 50 years ago today, is a compilation of outtakes and rarities from the Who's first decade. Setting your expectations at the appropriate level, however, you'll find much of this worthwhile.
