The Ascension of Sufjan Stevens
On September 25, prolific singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens released The Ascension, his latest solo studio album under Asthmatic Kitty Records.
Of Lost Dreams
This album is a project that fans have long anticipated, mainly due to the fact that for quite a long time, DT seemed to have lost their identity.
Straight outta Oxnard
Anderson Paak's latest album “Oxnard” goes off on a tangent in comparison to his previous albums. Oxnard is more than just an album though, it is a musical endeavour that dives into a universe so different from contemporary hip-hop that it feels refreshing.
Bury yourself into the Trench
Twenty One Pilots are back with the release of their fifth studio album Trench and they've definitely stepped out of their comfort zone. Not just in terms of style, because it also features an overarching narrative set in an alternate world called Dema.
The “Ember” that's a bonfire
Sixteen years have passed since the release of “Saturate”, and like aged wine, Breaking Benjamin's music has matured beautifully. That notion is quite obvious as soon as you listen to the album that came out this year on April 13: Ember.
Are you Feeling It Still?
Portugal. The Man's latest album, Woodstock, is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it's a perfect remedy for your EDM-infused indie dance-pop needs, a far departure from their usual alt-indie rock style, but the same tune is a huge cry of "sell-out" to a lot of fans.
Obostha Bujhe Bebostha - A lesson in cathartic anarchy
The 8-track album kicks off with “Shikol Chirra, Kutta Bhagey”. In your face, as the artist put it himself, the song is as much political as it is a song about self-reflection. With the accompaniment of a suave yet ominous guitar intro, Farooque's voice takes the reins from the get go.
Four stars out of five? Not really, no.
Five years after the critically successful AM, the Arctic Monkeys have finally dropped a new album. To say that this new album, “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino”, was different would be an understatement. Sometime during this five-year hiatus, Alex Turner has forsaken his guitar for a piano. But does this new set-up suit the band?
