Human Performance
Even in an absurdly abundant time for brilliant young indie bands, Parquet Courts approach their jittery art-punk guitar buzz with a playful sense of adventure that sets them way ahead of the pack.

A Cure for Loneliness

Lukas Graham
Balancing old and new-school soul with Bruno Mars panache, this Danish singer’s debut is a fine argument for pop optimism.

DJ Shadow Taps Run the Jewels For Brassy, Bruising 'Nobody Speak'
Run the Jewels sling their special brand of vibrant, virulent lyrics on DJ Shadow’s inventive, horn-laden new track, “Nobody Speak.” The song is built around a simple, funky drum and bass groove that DJ Shadow fleshes out with guitar loops, big, brassy horns and the occasional flourish of something “too future.” Though the beat… Source: RollingStone Link: […]
