New Reviews for September 13, 2024

CascadeEditor's choice

Ninja Tune

Sam Shepherd focuses on his club side with a marvelous album of tightly engineered yet exploratory and psychedelic dance tracks.

- Paul Simpson

Indoor SafariEditor's choice

Yep Roc

A little bit more rocking and a little bit less croony, the album features the legendary singer/songwriter in lively collaboration with Los Straitjackets.

- Tim Sendra

The Forest Is the PathEditor's choice

Polydor / Republic

The Scottish group's eighth set and another late-era treasure trove that highlights emotional catharsis and introspection.

- Neil Z. Yeung

Memoir of a SparklemuffinEditor's choice

Sub Pop

A dramatic, double-length sophomore LP that puts the musician/actress in the company of artists like Lana Del Rey and Angel Olsen.

- Marcy Donelson

Soft Tissue

City Slang

The band add tightly wound soul music influences to their well-established mix, sounding as dramatic and emotionally impactful as ever.

- Tim Sendra

Shirt

Domino

Fostered by Aaron Maine recording outside of his apartment for the first time, the project's grungy sixth LP is his loudest, most volatile yet.

- Marcy Donelson

My Method Actor

Ninja Tune

Cutting down on collaborators but retaining an artful palette, the songwriter/producer's third album is an alluringly intimate and enigmatic outing.

- Marcy Donelson

SHINBANGUMI

Ghostly International

Cameron Lew's eclectic art-funk-city pop project stages a concept LP about a TV music supervisor in 1987 for his most ebullient effort to date.

Editors' Choice for August, 2024

Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs

AllMusic Staff Pick - September 17, 2024

1959

The single most influential album of Western songs in post-World War II American music, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs (released 75 years ago this month) touched a whole range of unexpected bases in its own time and has endured extraordinarily well across the ensuing decades.
