Album Reviews
- Marissa Nadler
Strangers
On her latest gothic folk missive, singer/songwriter Marissa Nadler opens up her sound slightly, retaining her grey-skies aesthetic while bringing in a more spacious and rock-oriented sound.
- Richard Ashcroft
These People
The former Verve frontman returns after a hiatus with another Richard Ashcroft solo album, with all the ostentatious orchestration, bumper-sticker mantras, and cursory electro-dabbling those entail.
- Adia Victoria
Beyond the Bloodhounds
Through muscular, chugging guitars and plodding percussion, Nashville's Adia Victoria explores ugly emotional realities with "take it or leave it" boldness.
- Carla Bley
Andando el Tiempo
At 80 years old, Carla Bley remains a vital force as a pianist, composer, and improviser, mixing knowingly wry moments with a sense of mystery.
