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.
Columbia
An inviting, emotionally complex nostalgia trip taken primarily with Kacey Musgraves collaborators Ian Fitchuk, Daniel Tashian, and Josh Moore.
Merge
Dan Snaith extends the club-friendly sound of his work as Daphni into his main project, resulting in his most outwardly expressive music.
Elektra / Rhino
The fourth volume in the artist's lauded archives series extends its third volume with outtakes, alternates, and concert recordings.
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.
Merge
In three fine-drawn movements, the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer cope with tragedy and grief with intent to comfort the listener.
Anti-
Mixing warm orchestral textures with eerie synths and distorted effects, and themes of loss with aspiration, LP six eludes simplicity.
Classical

1962
Mingus had always had a bizarre sense of humor, as expressed in some of his song titles and arranging devices, but Oh Yeah often gets downright warped. That's partly because Mingus is freed up to vocalize more often, but it's also due to the presence of mad genius Roland Kirk whose chemistry with Mingus is fantastically explosive.
