A City by the Light Divided - THURSDAY

After the strife Thursday’s members have endured (a near-breakup, divorce, substance abuse), a triumphant song called “We Will Overcome” was almost inevitable on new album “A City by the Light Divided,” even if it does not relate to the band’s troubles. Thursday has crafted a quality album that is enhanced by Andrew Everding’s keyboards, […]

The Definitive Wilson Pickett - Wilson Pickett

One of the legends of soul, Wilson Pickett had a voice so big it could out-bellow a full-on horn section and still convey an emotional fragility. From the hardest grooves of the pre-funk era to the steamiest of Southern ballads, he stamped his authority on everything he recorded.
This double-CD has been released to mark […]

Africa Rebel Music: Roots Reggae and Dance - Various Artists

Some snobs claim that true reggae must come from Jamaica, probably spending too much of their time memorising Studio One matrix numbers to notice the many quality international artists to have emerged in the past 2 decades. Sadly the contents of African Rebel Music will only confirm the prejudice of such narrow minded […]

Pick a Bigger Weapon - THE COUP

Longtime funk/hip-hop collective the Coup relocates to the punk outpost Epitaph for a set full of the fist-up militantism both outlets have become synonymous with. “Weapon” is the Coup’s first record since the 2001’s ill-fated “Party Music,” whose original cover art (completed months before 9/11) depicted the crew blowing up the World Trade Center. […]

Scribbled In Chalk - Karine Polwart

Folk isn’t a genre that’s usually associated with pressure, but given that Karine Polwart’s Faultlines scooped her three awards from Radio 2, there’s a certain expectation to the follow-up.
Scribbled In Chalk is a worthy successor. Weaving melody around her defiantly delicate timbre, the beautifully crafted tunes are as likely to bite as they are […]

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne

When My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts was released in February 1981, it was the last in David Byrne and Brian Eno’s ‘African trilogy’. Its influence remains simply enormous: echoes of this record can be heard throughout modern music, from the obvious sound collages of Public Enemy and DJ Shadow to, even, the […]

HOW WE OPERATE - GOMEZ

It pays to get another opinion. After self-producing all five of its studio albums, Gomez enlisted outsider Gil Norton to energize its new tunes. Norton’s adroit knack for fully realizing the potential of the raw material has made all the difference on “How We Operate,” the finest and most listener-friendly album of Gomez’s 10-year […]
