PJ Harvey

I Inside the Old Year Dying

Based on Harvey's epic poem Orlam, her spellbinding tenth album contemplates the transition from childhood to adulthood with hallucinatory folk, rock, and electronics.

- Heather Phares

Anohni and the Johnsons

My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross

Pop/Rock

The group's first album in over a decade uses vintage soul as the foundation for its elegant anthems and elegies.

- Heather Phares

The Dinning Sisters

The Best of the Dinning Sisters

September 15, 1998

Harmony Vocal Group

Compiled from the Capitol archives, The Best of the Dinning Sisters wraps up the ten-year career of the most popular vocal act in Chicago during the '40s. Reminiscent of the other "sisters" groups (the Andrews Sisters, the Boswell Sisters), the Dinning Sisters had warm, bright harmonies that were just as smooth as their contemporaries.

- Zac Johnson

The Sugarcubes

The Great Crossover Potential

July 14, 1998

Alternative Pop/Rock

As a crash course intro to Bjork's former band, this 1998 best-of is an ideal place to both start and finish, providing just enough of their quirky post-punk/alt-rock gems to sate curiosity and properly represent their three studio albums (released from 1988 to 1992). The dreamy "Birthday," jangly "Motor Crash," raucous "Vitamin," and global smash "Hit" are all here, nestled amongst some of the catchiest and weirdest output from the soon-to-be avant-pop icon.

- Neil Z. Yeung
