Emeralds: Does it Look Like I'm Here?
Latest Reviews
Phoebe Bridgers
Lost Weekend
Bridgers bleeds her pen dry over lush orchestration that tells the story of love and loss as vividly as her words
NME
Man/Woman/Chainsaw
Cannonball
Musically adventurous yet concise in delivery, Cannonball mines familiar source material to spectacular effect. Man/Woman/Chainsaw have figured out how to make all of their disparate parts work together, and created something that feels entirely their own
Exclaim
Ariana Grande
petal
As a soundscape, Petal is an improvement on the watery Eternal Sunshine, curating a backdrop that is airtight and focused on the minute instrumentation
Spectrum Culture
Tyla
A*Pop
Grammy winner Tyla returns from her historic win with an album that doesn’t arrive merely as an album but as a bold declaration that African pop is a structural pillar of the global mainstream, rather than a localized niche
Spectrum Culture
Phoebe Bridgers
Lost Weekend
Airier and stranger than anything she has made: 16 songs split between losing her father and falling headlong in love
The Arts Desk
The Mountain Goats
Days
The Mountain Goats don’t go all in on a 1990s grunge-inspired record, but instead look back on that period with a fresh perspective
PopMatters
Phoebe Bridgers
Lost Weekend
For her third solo album, Phoebe Bridgers expands and contracts, capturing experiences that are strange, solitary, and hers alone. It is the quietest, most cohesive record in her discography
Pitchfork
Phoebe Bridgers
Lost Weekend
‘Lost Weekend’ doesn’t contain the cohesion of Phoebe Bridgers’ prior works – an album that sometimes feels like a pair of lungs, inhaling and exhaling, it’s capable of stretching and shrinking to suit her mindset
Clash
Man/Woman/Chainsaw
Cannonball
It’s a genuinely exciting debut: six people who once made noise nobody asked for, have come out the other side making exactly the record that captures their true potential
Clash
John Carpenter
Cathedral
Carpenter has always excelled at the “less is more” approach to music, but it is here in Cathedral that this discipline is used to build something claustrophobic and heavy. It’s not just music that follows the listener; it surrounds them
Spill Magazine
John Carpenter
Cathedral
John Carpenter’s Cathedral is fantastic listening, mixing what listeners likely love about the horror director’s scores with new sounds. When blending the soundtrack with the graphic novel, it’s a less satisfying experience, though still worth it for Carpenter fans
Spectrum Culture
John Carpenter
Cathedral
While an intriguing narrative idea that longtime fans will lap up, John Carpenter’s “heavy metal” exercise with his trusty son and godson band can just never shake off a tacky air that robs the album of its Gothic dread or evocative transport
