New Reviews for October 4, 2024

Atlantic / MULTIPLE

On this sibling set to Music of the Spheres, the band remains in orbit, trying to unite the universe with positivity and love.

- Neil Z. Yeung

Columbia

An inviting, emotionally complex nostalgia trip taken primarily with Kacey Musgraves collaborators Ian Fitchuk, Daniel Tashian, and Josh Moore.

- Andy Kellman

XL

The Radiohead-affiliated trio incorporate more electronics into their sound on their second album of 2024, recorded at the same time as the first.

- Paul Simpson

Merge

Dan Snaith extends the club-friendly sound of his work as Daphni into his main project, resulting in his most outwardly expressive music.

- Paul Simpson

Constellation

The Canadian ensemble's most explicitly political work is triumphant and uplifting rather than bleak and mournful.

- Paul Simpson

Matador

Band that includes members of Pavement, Superwolves, the Cairo Gang, and Dirty Three, combining the sum of their parts and then piling on more guitars.

- Fred Thomas

Elektra / Rhino

The fourth volume in the artist's lauded archives series extends its third volume with outtakes, alternates, and concert recordings.

Merge

In three fine-drawn movements, the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer cope with tragedy and grief with intent to comfort the listener.

- Andy Kellman

Editors' Choice for September, 2024

AllMusic Staff Pick - October 9, 2024

1960

Ella Fitzgerald was at the peak of her form during her 1960 tour of Europe. Her Berlin concert is most remembered for her hilariously inventive version of "Mack the Knife," during which she forgot the words and substituted ones of her own that somehow fit, amazing herself in the process.
