New Reviews for March 28, 2025
Geffen / Polydor
The Boygenius member's fourth solo LP and major-label debut is a tender, affectionate one about "it's complicated" relationships.
Down the Road
Reuniting after a 14-year hiatus, this band masterfully mine the catalog of modern and traditional songwriters on this powerful set.
Matador
Equal parts tough and vulnerable, moving and witty, Mike Hadreas' seventh album continues the opening up of his music.
Blue Note
The saxophonist and his quartet offer a bold reinterpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 album of the same title.
Merge
The Canadian indie pop auteur presents dense, euphoric arrangements that are at odds with unhinged lyrical sentiments, meeting in the middle only occasionally.
Carpark Records
The indie rock vet reunites with Galaxie 500 producer Kramer for his hypnotic and dreamy fourth solo album.
Concord / Concord Jazz
The Richmond, Virginia quintet offer an imaginary summer soundtrack for a trip up and down the Atlantic, from New York to Florida, the Caribbean, and Europe.
Merge
The duo's third album wasn't easy to make, but the results are a stunning upgrade of their sunny, bright, and powerful indie pop sound.
