album review

Boygenius’ third EP brings their discography full-circle

The EP's lyric videos contain photos of them chaotically dancing on stage, cuddling up to each other while belting out their songs.

underscores: a warm welcome to the world of “Wallsocket”

Wallsocket’s locals find themselves dissecting the dauntingly resonant transition to adulthood in song after song.

In The Spotlight: “The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We”

Each song masterfully blends the natural acoustic and orchestral elements of the album with Mitski’s poetically devastating lyricism.

“The End” and Cody Fry’s love for orchestral pop

“The End” is an amazing album that wonderfully showcases Cody Fry's talents and his love for french horns. 

Sex, drugs, and Hollywood love with Slayyyter’s “STARFUCKER”

With new style, new money, and new tits, “STARFUCKER” marks the dawning of an age for Slayyyter.

In the Spotlight: Chappell Roan

In a time where pop has become oversaturated and underwhelming, Chappell Roan breathes new life into the genre.

Modern Jazz and Laufey’s permanent mark

"Bewitched" personifies love and heartbreak, comprised of soft melodies primed for slow dancing in a living room, or studying in a ritzy classical library.

‘GUTS’ gives Olivia Rodrigo ground to stand on

With made-for-radio melodies, experimental guitar riffs, and lyrics that sting with humor and candor, “GUTS” hones into what “Olivia Rodrigo” sounds like.

“Unreal Unearth” and Hozier’s ties to his native culture

It holds up to the high bar he has set, if not surpassing it. Adding his culture to his perfected deep prose and enchanting composition.

A retrospective, After Hours

It is After Hours’ soloists that really make the EP, with voices from graduates I haven’t heard in years.
