Top Ten Albums of 2019

December 31, 2019 Dan Seeger

There are years when my yearly exercise in ranking albums is fairly easy. That was decidedly not the case this time around. Maybe I can attribute the added challenge to the high number of releases that spoke directly to me, … Continue reading Top Ten Albums of 2019

The New Releases Shelf — Magdalene

November 14, 2019 Dan Seeger

For her sophomore full-length release, FKA twigs strips her music down to a fragile, spindly framework. Five years after the English musician delivered the mind-spinning debut LP1, she offers Magdalene, which retains the sense of relentless innovation and pushes further … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Magdalene

The New Releases Shelf — All Mirrors

October 15, 2019October 14, 2019 Dan Seeger

I don’t believe there’s another current performer who’s simultaneously otherworldly and vehemently down-to-earth in quite the same way as Angel Olsen. Part of the equation is fairly easy to work out. Olsen specializes in melding spare, airy music with words that … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — All Mirrors

The New Releases Shelf — Norman Fucking Rockwell

September 25, 2019 Dan Seeger

Cat Power convinced me I might be wrong, or maybe just short-sighted. In the past, I’ve enjoyed certain songs from Lana Del Rey (usually the expected culprits), but I didn’t consider her an artist of real significance, someone who demanded … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Norman Fucking Rockwell

The New Releases Shelf — The Center Won’t Hold

August 29, 2019 Dan Seeger

If No Cities to Love, the 2015 comeback album from Sleater-Kinney, was an assurance that the beloved group could reemergence from a decade-long hiatus with their roaring power and vibrant creativity intact, then The Center Won’t Hold is the provocative … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — The Center Won’t Hold

The New Releases Shelf — Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?

August 14, 2019August 14, 2019 Dan Seeger

Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough? is the third full-length release from the L.A.-based band Bleached, and I think it might be their first recording that truly shows off their talent. Prior outings have been imbued with a thrilling, devil-may-care … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?

The New Releases Shelf — Let’s Rock

August 5, 2019 Dan Seeger

The new Black Keys album, Let’s Rock, is their first in a decade without Danger Mouse behind the board. For four straight records, the noted studio maestro named after a cartoon rodent spy served as producer or co-producer for the … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Let’s Rock

The New Releases Shelf — Help Us Stranger

August 1, 2019 Dan Seeger

Over ten years has passed since the release of Consolers of the Lonely, the album from the the Raconteurs that is the direct predecessor of their latest, Help Us Stranger. Any reasonable music fan might have wondered if the band … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Help Us Stranger

The New Releases Shelf — Patience

July 24, 2019 Dan Seeger

It starts with the guitar, a jackhammer line joined by a propulsive rhythm section beat. And then lead singer Marisa Dabice starts singing, her voice fierce and fragile at the same time as she delivers lyrics about a toxic relationship: “Who … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Patience

The New Releases Shelf — Designer

July 17, 2019 Dan Seeger

Designer, the third album from New Zealander Aldous Harding, is so luxurious in its beauty that listening to it is like sinking into a cushion so soft it defies the laws of physics. And yet it’s not precisely right to … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Designer
