New Reviews for January 12, 2024
Fat Possum Records
The harpist demonstrates her range from soundscape weaver to art-pop maverick on her bewildering debut album.
Domino
The British singer/songwriter finds buoyancy and resilience on his gorgeously arranged fifth LP.
Chrysalis Records / SD
The songwriter emerges from a period of pandemic-provoked writer's block with a compellingly explicit post-breakup album.
Bureau B
The Düsseldorf-based group refine their sensuous blend of dub, funk, and electro, coming closer to a 1980s art-rock sound.
Erato
Famed countertenor is in excellent voice on this collection of largely obscure arias.
Naxos
Instrumental and compositional virtuosity make for an extraordinary band album.
PentaTone Classics
One of the top guitarists of the day turns to South American music.
Harmonia Mundi
Splendid performance of Schumann's two big chamber works for piano and strings catches the differences between them.

October 3, 1995
While Old 97's second album, 1995's Wreck Your Life, continues the forlorn West Texas twang-a-billy that they pioneered with their debut, the sharp songwriting of vocalist Rhett Miller steps out to the forefront this time around. He weeps through the lovesick romp "Doreen" and chunks through longtime favorite "Big Brown Eyes" with a newfound poetic touch to the age-old traumas of love
