Superorganism - "Superorganism" Mar 05, 2018

Show notes

When everything’s clicking, Superorganism evokes the genre-hopping hooks of Weezer set against Animal Collective’s sonic experimentation as filtered through Architecture from Helsinki’s pop maximalism. Unlike other bands that flaunt a massive ensemble — looking at you, Polyphonic Spree — Superorganism really makes the most of their members. You can hear them on every song, and the result is a sense of community that's anything but intimate.

The Breeders - "All Nerve" Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

All Nerve finds The Breeders sounding more ecstatic and less restrained than anytime since Last Splash originally soaked the alt-rock scene. The album manages to do what Kim Deal’s ex-bandmates in Pixies have struggled with since returning to the recording studio: that is, sound like the band that fans first fell in love with without ignoring that decades of trials, experiences, and musical ideas have come and gone since then.

Moby - "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt" Mar 01, 2018

Show notes

After spending the last two years transforming his nightmare visions of our modern age and his internal agonies into razor wire post-punk, Moby is back in the business of electronic pop music. And what has poured out of him on his 15th studio album are equally dark visions rendered with music and performances that feel softer. Like the warm cushion of a goose down pillow as it settles on your face to suffocate you.

Hans Zimmer - "Dunkirk: (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" Feb 23, 2018

Show notes

The Oscar-nominated score to Dunkirk, Hans Zimmer’s illustriously crafted and curated soundtrack score for the Christopher Nolan film, has been out for a while, but it’s still a powder keg of creative music-making for movies. As a feature of Nolan’s film, it’s bar none in its layering and execution - an accelerating symphony of ticks, tocks, jolts, melodies, and complimentary effects, Zimmer’s work is like a neurotic, overzealous character in the film. And it sets the mood in a big way.

"Call Me By Your Name (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" Feb 21, 2018

In crafting the ephemeral summer of Call Me by Your Name, Luca Guadignino assembled an eclectic soundtrack including everything from obscure European pop hits of the 80s, to modern classical compositions by composers such as John Adams and Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as original songs by Sufjan Stevens.

Jonny Greenwood - "Phantom Thread (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

In the fourth collaboration between Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson, Greenwood replicates Phantom Thread’s golden age of couture with lavish strings that embolden the story but occasionally overshadow the unease at its emotional core.

Car Seat Headrest - "Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)" Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

The past is a funny and fickle thing; even as it shrinks to the size of a speck in the rear-view mirror, its contours shift and its lessons zoom into razor-sharp focus. Such is the experience of listening to Twin Fantasy, a sprawling, loosely conceptual rock album that reimagines an earlier effort Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo recorded at 19 on a cheap laptop.

Bon Iver - "For Emma, Forever Ago" 10-Year Reissue Feb 11, 2018

Show notes

Justin Vernon is re-releasing "For Emma, Forever Ago" on vinyl and CD to commemorate its ten-year anniversary. Vernon likely never imagined that these songs would make him as astronomically famous as they have. Ten years, two more albums and a few collaborations with Kanye West later, Vernon has distinguished himself as one of the most distinctive, original and essential voices of his musical generation.

MGMT - "Little Dark Age" Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

A decade after their debut album, neo-psychedelic wunderkinds MGMT are back to reclaim their narrative. Little Dark Age is their first album in five years, and it follows two critically panned releases, both of which veered so far into zany art-rock experimentation it was hard for everyone but their core fanbase to keep up. Little Dark Age hews closer to traditional pop structures, making it their most accessible record since Oracular Spectacular. An album review by Sasha Geffen.

Tribulation - "Down Below" Feb 04, 2018

Show notes

It’s more difficult than ever to call Tribulation simply a metal band. In their new record, "Down Below" their sound is much more subtle and daring, reaching out into the worlds of psychedelia, shoegaze and post-rock. An album review by Robert Ham.
