17 Mar - 10 Apr

Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) (2018) - "the eleventh studio album by indie rock band ...  is a complete re-recording and reworking of the band's sixth studio album"

U.S. Girls - In a Poem Unlimited (2018) -  "the music shape shifts from ... G-funk to delicately dreamy atmospherics  or swaggering electro-disco via an array of sax-blasting pop-dance songs"

Screaming Females - All at Once (2018) -  "the aggression of punk and the flair of 80s power-rock collide"

Jimi Hendrix - Both Sides of the Sky (2018) - "the third release in a trilogy of posthumously released "archival recordings" compilation albums highlighted as intended for a follow-up to Electric Ladyland"

Meadow House - This Should Not Be Happening (2017) - "... contains catharsis, cries for help, requests for relief/employment, and much much more.. The LP is almost entirely produced using instruments and materials found in bins"

Black Panther The Album (Music From And Inspired By) (2018) - "The references to the film on this project are few and far between, with Kendrick and TDE instead choosing to echo the spirit of the movie without directly assimilating the plot into the music."

Metronomy: LateNightTales (2012) -  "If you need new material for lonesome rides home in the subway, a walk through the dark streets in the middle of night but also for wonderful hours together with the ones you love than we highly recommend you checking out this beautiful selection of music, sounds and atmosphere."

David Crosby - Sky Trails (2017) - "caressing vocals, a melancholic chord progression and lyrics that manage to be both esoteric and evocative."

Bill Ryder-Jones ‎– West Kirby County Primary (2015) - "Themes of bereavement, illness and struggling love are covered but make no mistake, this is far from a miserabilist work or in any way a depressing listen."

Pell Mell - Flow (1991) - "these tracks showcase the bands undeniably good skill in making jam sessions into well executed bursts of creativity, with everything from punk pace to slow acoustics, mostly surf rock, southwestern prog."
             
The Kinks - Something Else (1967) - "The listener is amused and confused, enchanted and entertained, and always questioning."

Tycho - Epoch (2016) - "the fourth studio album by the ambient music project Tycho"

Tycho - Sunrise Projector (2004) -  "Is there any way to describe the music of Tycho other than ‘shimmering’?"

Pell Mell - For Years We Stood Clearly as One Thing (1985) - "Pell Mell was an instrumental rock combo, formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon."

Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Stranger Things, Vol. 1 (2016) - "The score is ultimately more than a mood. It’s a world unto itself."

Steve Reich - Sextet: Six Marimbas (1986) - "'Six Marimbas' is actually one of his best minor works. Although basically a re-scored version of 'Six Pianos', the lighter texture dramatically improves the piece. Almost funky in places, it's a delight."

Guided by Voices - Space Gun (2018) - "the guitars clang and jangle, the rhythm section goes "boom" and the lyrics are the usual charming gibberish"

Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978) - "a willfully perverse musical statement, one of unlimited contradictions and no small genius."

Decemberists - I'll Be Your Girl (2018) - "While they haven't lost their taste for repointing American and European folk, there's a brash, stadium-rock dazzle to these songs..."
