Reviews

A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole

Alabaster DePlume
On the British saxophonist and poet’s graceful new album, the reminders to savor each day and to forgive oneself feel less like jazz tunes than wordless hymns.

Sheer Hellish Miasma II

Kevin Drumm
The Chicago sound artist follows up his landmark 2002 noise opus with a 92-minute behemoth that’s even more brutally unrelenting.

On the Yeah Side Deluxe

Top$ide / Shaudy Kash
For the latest edition of their collaborative series, the rapper and producer invite fellow Detroit voices into the fold—but the album is at its best when highlighting the duo’s locked-in chemistry.

City of Clowns

Marie Davidson
Forget dancing like no one’s watching: The Québécois musician’s latest LP is raving under surveillance capitalism, offering pranksterish critiques over Y2K-inspired beats.

All Cylinders

Yves Jarvis
The Canadian psych-pop auteur’s new album is less interested in paying homage to the golden oldies than in discovering what playful new mutations he can get away with.
