Deathgod

A blistering excursion into the group's punk side, tempered by the occasional prog side trip; it's a prime example of why the band is so vital.

Ripping live set from 1988 that shows a more energetic side of the legendary indie rock band as they tear through songs from Today.

No Joy
Bugland
Sonic Cathedral
Pop/Rock
The genre-defiant polymath collaborates with co-producer Fire-Toolz on an album of maximalist pop that never stops changing gears but somehow never overwhelms.

Contemporary Country, Country-Rock

Apple - Featured Albums: Bryce Leatherwood - Bryce Leatherwood

Bryce Leatherwood's emotive baritone recalls a timeless country style with its midtempo, upbeat, romantic songcraft and its storyteller’s lyrics nestled in a bed of rumbling guitars, pedal steel, and Hammond organ. Of course, his path to mainstream country success is a thoroughly modern one.

The Childhood of a Leader [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
AllMusic Staff Pick – August 11, 2025
Scott Walker
The Childhood of a Leader [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
August 19, 2016
Soundtracks
Heard in the context of director Brady Corbet's provocative, feature-length debut film, the original score for The Childhood of a Leader is so successful, it's inseparable from the images but adds brutality. Co-produced by Walker and Peter Walsh, the half-hour-long score was performed by a 62-piece orchestra of strings, winds, reeds, brass, and percussion, and conducted by longtime collaborator Mark Warman. It's a dark, turbulent, and welcome entry in Walker's catalog.
