By Jake Cole
April 21, 2016
in :  Music, Music Reviews

This may be Harvey’s weakest album in some time, but its sonic ambition reaffirms how exciting the artist remains.

Justin Townes Earle: Absent Fathers

By Jeremy Winograd
January 14, 2015
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=2.75/5]Justin Townes Earle has daddy issues. He plainly sings about his strained relationship with dad on 2009’s “Mama’s Eyes,” crooning, “I ain’t fooling no one/ I am my father’s son,” and actually named his new album Absent Fathers. It’s tempting to psychoanalyze the son of alt-country legend Steve Earle as he follows in his father’s footsteps, like Ken Griffeys …

Mark Lanegan Band: Phantom Radio

By Nathan Stevens
November 18, 2014
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=3.5/5]Mark Lanegan has one of those voices that is distinct from the first note. It’s not quite Tom Waits’ blackened croak, but it has the gritty edge of an old worn-out boot trying singing Johnny Cash covers. Lanegan’s voice has a power all its own that’s been obvious from the heyday of Screaming Trees, and Josh Homme put Lanegan’s …

Eels: The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett

By Josh Goller
April 24, 2014
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=2.75/5]Don’t look now, but Eels’ Mr. E is beautifully blue again. On the heels of 2013’s Wonderful, Glorious, which was infused with harder rock elements, gruffer vocals and a far more uplifting tone than is common for Eels, The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett finds the band’s mastermind reaching inward once more and raising the quivering mess he …

James Vincent McMorrow: Post Tropical

By Rose Kerr
January 21, 2014
in :  Music, Music Reviews, Recommended, Recommended Music

[xrr rating=4.0/5]On Post Tropical, former folk guitarist James Vincent McMorrow navigates uncharted waters to reach a new musical horizon. Compared to Early in the Morning, this album eschews its predecessor’s acoustic guitar and raspy vocals and instead relies on resonant synths and tranquil lyrics. Post Tropical introduces an entirely new side of McMorrow, the side whose major influences include R&B, …

Blitzen Trapper: VII

By Nathan Kamal
October 9, 2013
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=3.75/5]Since their 2008 breakthrough album, Furr, Blitzen Trapper have bordered on rudderless. While that album was arguably the Portland band at their most eclectic, jumping from folky acoustic numbers to fuzz rock to piano ballads, it seems that trying to narrow their palette has only diminished them. The two records that followed Furr, Destroyer of the Void and American …
