Dirty Beaches: Drifters/Love is the Devil
Dirty Beaches’ double feature is the soundtrack to the city that owes itself more to real life than noir.
Baths: Obsidian
Obsidian is a potent electronic album that continued its predecessor’s approach to the genre.
Disclosure: Settle
Probably going to end up being one of our favourite dance albums by the end of the year.
Mount Kimbie: Cold Spring Fault Less Youth
A respectable follow-up album by the UK’s best recent act.
Kurt Vile: Wakin On a Pretty Daze
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you prefer sipping on your tea laced with hallucinogenic on a quiet day, Kurt Vile’s the man.
Vampire Weekend: Fame & Theology
You’d think a song title that subverts the most popular song of the ‘00s could only mean fun Vampire Weekend, but here Ezra Koenig decided to go profound.
Charli XCX: True Romance
Charli XCX — much like Quentin Tarantino, writer of her album title’s namesake himself — is an era-appropriator who knows her pop culture well enough.
The Knife: Shaking the Habitual
The Knife stripped themselves of what they knew and reconstruct their sound with Shaking the Habitual.
DJ Koze: Amygdala
The record is named after the part of our brain that controls anxiety, fear, and depression. Despite that, in crafting Amygdala, Koze has made a techno record that is less about the dread and desolation of grimy, artful techno (think Andy Stott), but one that is a digital tableau of joy, whimsy, and humour.
Tyler, the Creator: Wolf
Wolf shows signs of growth but every time it reaches maturity, it quickly regresses to regular Tyler, the Creator.
