New Reviews for June 28, 2024

Interscope / Kid ina Korner

The Vegas crew's seventh set returns them to bombastic anthem territory after a period of introspection on their previous LP.

- Neil Z. Yeung

15 Passenger / Million Stars

A surprisingly cohesive, poetic, lyrically tight album of characteristically ragged indie folk from the Upstate New Yorkers.

- James Wilkinson

Brainfeeder

Joy, optimism, and otherness fill the fourth album by Australia's premier hardcore avant-soul/jazz/funk/hip-hop band.

- Andy Kellman

Geffen / Interscope

The Cuban-born, Florida-bred singer embraces her inner Miami party girl along with a sweaty, neon-dipped hyperpop sound.

- Matt Collar

Aftermath / Interscope

Recorded in 2021 with Dr. Dre, the singer's impassioned and fun fourth album incorporates a 27-piece orchestra and almost innumerable samples and interpolations.

- Andy Kellman

In the Red Records

The power pop-meets-hard rock legends celebrate their longevity with the angriest, hookiest, and most intense album of their career.

- Tim Sendra

GBV / Guided by Voices, Inc.

Robert Pollard indulges his love of prog rock and makes it exciting as his band continues their streak of top-notch LPs.

- Mark Deming

Just One Records / Orchard

For the first time in her career, the iconic singer writes her own songs, that meld of jazz, gospel, folk, and jump blues.

- Thom Jurek

Editors' Choice for June, 2024

AllMusic Staff Pick - July 4, 2024

April 15, 1997

Speedy J switched from warm ambient techno and trance to challenging, experimental techno with this album, which remains his best. Though he'd later concentrate on Birmingham-style hard techno, this is less club-ready, and much closer to post-industrial and IDM. It's easily the most technically advanced and rewarding record he's ever made.
