“Music” Archives

The music of artists like Toshiki Kadomatsu sounds utterly disposable but I can’t get enough of it these days.

Despite being critical to U2’s artistic development, their 1984 album often seems sadly overlooked.

Classic-sounding goth pop, hazy dreampop, synth-only Smiths covers, and vintage Japanese cinematic funk.

The new songs exchange the trio’s storied “slowcore” sound for something harsher and more experimental.

The trio’s blend of soul, surf, and ’60s Thai funk is on perfect display in this Pitchfork Live performance.

This collection of dreamlike yet unsettling ambient music is one of Dream Catalogue’s best releases in recent memory.

Mortal was the first band that showed me that Christian bands could hold their own with secular artists.

I was completely spellbound by Low’s stripped down, sparser-than-sparse sound.

This album was a constant companion during a long period of heartbreak and doubt.

This is an album in which I still find peace, relief, and inspiration to this day.

Put simply, no album feels more like high school to me, for better or worse, than Wish.

Sleek ethereal pop, serene drones, South Korean dreampop, and lush indie-folk.

The band’s simple, sparse performance is sublime.

This performance is proof that Nick McCabe was one of the true ’90s guitar gods.

The noted producer combines the “Black Panther” soundtrack with selections from the storied hip-hop duo’s discography.

Tor Lundvall’s first vocal album in nearly ten years blends hushed ambient music with themes of sorrow and longing.

When I was in high school, I once used this album to scare the little kids in my church.

Choir frontman Derri Daugherty will also release a solo album this year.

Brian Healy will also perform the album in its entirety at this year’s Audiofeed Music Festival.

Delicate acoustic folk, spaced out synth jams, contemplative ambience, and soulful electronic pop.
