Remi Wolf Mud
It all goes down relatively easily given Mud's big melodies, catchy hooks, busy arrangements, and less serious breathers, but for listeners who want all the feels, they are there for the taking All Music
The pop singer’s dynamic but uneven third record provides a portrait of semi-reformed adulthood, powered mostly by her sheer charisma and impressive voice Pitchfork
The genre-blending artist emerges from a period of emotional turbulence to unearth a more grown-up, toned-down sound NME
Wolf makes music to dance to alone, while no one watches, or in front of everyone. Mud encapsulates the hope of figuring it all out with time Northern Transmissions
Cameron Winter Live at Carnegie Hall
The singer gets serious with his craft at one of the nation’s most renowned concert venues Slant Magazine
No flash, no illusion: just voice, piano and one camera in front of a phantasmic crowd Still Listening
A solid album that shows a young man with unfettered control Exclaim
Floating Points Reflections: Mojave Desert
Indie boy wonder earns his flowers on the soundtrack to Paul Thomas Anderson’s new concert film Mojo
With new songs that rank among his very best, the Geese frontman’s solo live album is an exquisite rendering of a had-to-be-there night and a work of real-time mythmaking Pitchfork

The Geese frontman’s stripped-down set is a note-perfect album that affirms him as a performer already wise beyond his years Paste Magazine
Troye Sivan She's The Best
A new chapter packed with detail and revelation Clash
The Australian star subverts expectation, toning down horny club hedonism for dreamy shoegaze and experimental introspection musicOMH
Gilla Band Pugnello
In a year when Protomartyr and Cola (Ought, by extension), two spiritually minded peers, delivered some of their most evocative material to date, Gilla Band remain set in their ways No Ripcord
Beabadoobee Pylon
After the more stripped-back, ballad-focused This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the Filipino-American amps up the guitars just a bit No Ripcord
