Beirut
A Study Of Losses
For Zach Condon to write music for a troupe of acrobats might seem a little too on the nose, given his roots. But the results are the most effortless and surprising Beirut album in ages

Beirut
A Study Of Losses
As a whole, only one of the 18 tracks here crosses the four-minute mark, so A Study of Losses' hour-long playing time seems to go by quickly, and its unceasing sweetness and longing linger after Condon is "Left to be/A sea of tranquility" ("Mare Tranquillitatis") to close a lovely theater project

Beirut
A Study Of Losses
This album feels like that—beautiful, elusive, but almost too distant to truly mourn what once was
Northern Transmissions
Julien Baker & Torres
Send A Prayer My Way
The two singer-songwriters embrace their Southern roots for a country collaboration. Their folksy depictions of queer love are charming, but the album’s moments of humor and homage can fall flat

Bon Iver
SABLE, fABLE
Even for those who may not be in the mood for all this peace and love, it’s hard not to read this album as a personal triumph
Under The Radar
Julien Baker & Torres
Send A Prayer My Way
Send a Prayer My Way sounds more like the twinkly, pastoral indie-folk Baker makes than the dramatic engaging bubblegum grunge Torres makes, but it’s still a step far enough away from either body of work that it hits you like a breath of fresh air

A hooting and hollering good time

Send A Prayer My Way
The two songwriters’ collaboration album is a refreshing exploration of new territory for them, even if it doesn’t always connect

Thee Black Boltz
He isn’t trying too hard to eclipse the likes of Panda Bear or LCD Soundsystem, but he clearly just shows that he’s got plenty still to offer, and he seems incredibly content in doing so
Far Out

Thee Black Boltz
By the time closer ‘Streetlight Nuevo’ arrives, it’s clear we’ve witnessed something special – an artist taking full creative flight. ‘Thee Black Boltz’ pushes boundaries while remaining incredibly enjoyable
Dork

Thee Black Boltz
It really spotlights his artistry and musical intelligence ranging from indie, electronic and folk. With so much going on it would be easy for it to be overbearing but he finds a way to bring it all together and flow wonderfully
Clash

Thee Black Boltz
Though the apple doesn't fall far from the electronic/art-rock tree, the writing isn't as fully realised as TVOTR's and the playing lacks their meaty resonance. Print edition only
