New Reviews for March 14, 2025
Fire Records
The band's stripped-down 11th album creates a mood of earthy tension with bracing acoustic tones.
Republic / Urban Republic Records
The English band's classic 2009 debut gets the orchestral treatment as part of the BBC Proms series.
Matador
Incorporating industrial beats and dynamic arrangements, Haley Fohr charts a path between the club and the cosmos.
Sub Pop
The experimental noise-rap trio evoke cyberpunk as well as big beat, drum'n'bass, and electro on their most techno-shocked release.
Tapete Records
The legendary indie pop pioneers reunited after 40 years to release a debut record made up of jangling, melancholy songs delivered with graceful restraint.
Leiter
The conclusion of her travelogue triptych, the sitarist enlisted sarod master Alam Khan and producer/drummer Sarathy Korwar to assist.
Fiction
The musician and producer makes an inspired return to prog on this two-suite set about viewing the earth and its people from space.
Lower Third
The U.K. band's third album is a glorious exercise in coherent chaos and delivers an abundance of edgy fun.

March 19, 1975
By the release of their third album, 1975's Dressed to Kill, released 50 years ago today, Kiss were fast becoming America's top rock concert attraction, yet their record sales up to this point did not reflect their ticket sales. Casablanca label head Neil Bogart decided to take matters into his own hands, and produced the new record along with the band. The result is more vibrant sounding than its predecessor, 1974's sludgefest Hotter Than Hell, and the songs have more of an obvious pop edge to them.
