Album of the Month: May 2022

May 2022 was another slow month for music, but three projects really grabbed my attention. The atmospheric A Light for Attracting Attention from Radiohead’s side-project The Smile delivers some of the best art rock of the year, while post-hardcore legends Gospel return with their first album in seventeen years with the manic The Loser. The […]

Album of the Month: April 2022

April wasn’t as prolific a month for music as the previous three, but it still offered a few projects that I believe are more than worth your time. Among this month’s best music are the eclectic psych-rock of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Omnium Gatherum and Father John Misty’s orchestral classic pop on Chloë […]

Some of the best music of the month includes Asian Glow & Weatherday’s collaborative noisy lo-fi rock EP Weatherglow and the playful dance-pop of Charli XCX’s CRASH. The best album of […]

The month’s best music, like the pastoral indie folk of Big Thief’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You and Beach House’s lush dream pop on Once Twice Melody, will […]

Album of the Month: January 2022

The start of a new year generally brings a brief dry spell of engaging music, and January 2022 was no different. Many of the month’s new projects were disappointing, though some artists, like The Weeknd, undoubtedly delivered some of the best music of their careers; Earl Sweatshirt perfected his brand of introspective abstract hip-hop on […]

Some of the best albums released this month were the quirky indie rock of underscores’ boneyard aka fearmonger and Ethereal Shroud’s introspective atmospheric black metal on Trisagion; however, my favorite release was […]

As the year comes to a close, music releases have been slowing down, but November of 2021 still offered plenty of worthwhile projects to enjoy. Among the month’s most impressive projects were the sombre indie rock on Snail Mail’s Valentine and Sloppy Jane’s dark art pop on Madison. However, no music this month came close […]

Album of the Month: August 2021

August 2021 started as a very slow month for music releases, but soon picked up pace as the month neared its end. While not every album was a winner, there were still plenty of enjoyable releases to dive into. Some of my favorite music from the month includes the sombre neoclassical darkwave of Lingua Ignota’s […]
