Album Reviews

Speedy Ortiz
Twerp Verse
Apr 24, 2018 Issue #63 - Courtney Barnett
With the success of their previous album Foil Deer, Speedy Ortiz seemed to conclusively cross over from having been a band beloved by a discerning but rabid relatively few into being a big deal.

Makeness
Loud Patterns
Apr 23, 2018
Dance music thrives on artifice. Many respectable computer jockeys don't live in the sweaty ecstasy of their creations; many fans never experience that proper alignment of groove to feet in the club.

Alexis Taylor
Beautiful Thing
Apr 20, 2018 Issue #63 - Courtney Barnett

Clue
IDW
Mar 20, 2018 Web Exclusive
Clue, indeed based on the classic board game, fleshes out the enduring murder mystery from that game with more modern sensibilities. And, gosh, there's a lot to like about Clue—the design is wonderful, the art (Nelson Daniel) equally so.

Apr 10, 2018 Web Exclusive
Full of erudition and insight, John Andrew Fredrick's book on the early films of Wes Anderson also has a great feel for the auteur's characters, and for Anderson himself.
