Ok Go  And The Adjacent Possible

Features some of the best songs of OK Go’s discography Spill Magazine

Bon Iver  SABLE, fABLE

Regardless of whether or not you prefer to commiserate with the sadness found on his past records, it’s clear that SABLE, fABLE could have only emerged from a place of hard-earned inner peace Beats Per Minute

Valerie June  Owls, Omens, and Oracles

Her most gently ambitious and dazzlingly diverse album to date. Print edition only Uncut

Valerie June  Owls, Omens, and Oracles

The Tennessee singer-songwriter’s joyful new album pushes back against the bleakness of doomscrolling The Guardian

Valerie June  Owls, Omens, and Oracles

Indoctrinated in this album and June’s voice is the reverent nature of the far reaching truth that flows and weaves through each of us in our shared collective humanity. Find yourself in the space between songs, rest in the melodies and discover the place in your body that is answering her call Clash

Valerie June  Owls, Omens, and Oracles

Although the tempos wane during the album's second half, its quality persists. "My Life Is a Country Song" is a highlight, and the closer, "Love and Let Go," is a gorgeous, slow-burning testament to patience and surrender All Music

Valerie June  Owls, Omens, and Oracles

With SABLE, fABLE, Bon Iver delivers an album that feels less like a statement and more like a reconciliation. It doesn’t chase trends but finds meaning in the middle distance between cabin and studio, between myth and memory Spectrum Culture

Patterson Hood  Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams

The big name collaborations are sure to turn heads. But they of course flocked to work with Hood because he’s a living Americana legend. And from his increasingly adventurous writing on the keys, to his literary as ever lyrics, Hood’s bonafides abound on Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams Under The Radar

Ok Go  And The Adjacent Possible

OK Go have delivered an album that has has some fantastically-crafted moments in which sit alongside tracks that have ‘bubbles of potential’, it’s not quite the musical evolution that you would expect after ten years, but it is assured, perspective shifting Clash

Ok Go  And The Adjacent Possible

The sharp hooks and angular energy of their earlier work are missing, and the album lacks the wide-eyed wonder of their breakthrough days Dork

Ok Go  And The Adjacent Possible

There is some high-quality meat on sturdy bones for your delectation here, but I wouldn’t want to strip the carcass for every morsel XS Noize

Ok Go  And The Adjacent Possible

The band's first album in ten years And the Adjacent Possible blends wonder and weariness Rolling Stone
