Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Weekend  Jinx

The way they combine the softness with the heaviness is what makes this record so beautiful The 405

Mazes  Better Ghosts

The best moments here come when the band hops the fence and scales a bit beyond its indie homefront Consequence Of Sound

Au Revoir Simone  Move In Spectrums

It's a subtle album, one that will wrap the listener up and carry them off to the land of sleep Under The Radar

Blitzen Trapper  VII

VII gives you no indication that it was created after 1975 Under The Radar

Mutual Benefit  Love’s Crushing Diamond

It's fine music to nest in Rolling Stone

Machinedrum  Vapor City

Where 2011's Room(s) messed with hyper, drum-machined-driven Chicago footwork, here the rhythms veer toward rolling drum and bass breaks, and the mood is a lot more relaxed Rolling Stone

Childish Gambino  because the internet

When the parts here come together you can catch a glimpse of Glover’s ambitious plan fully realized, but these moments run scarce the further into the project you trudge Pitchfork

7 Days Of Funk  7 Days Of Funk

Don't call it a comeback, call it lark, and a funky, welcome one at that All Music

7 Days Of Funk  7 Days Of Funk

7 Days Of Funk  7 Days Of Funk

This might not keep Snoop from funking every cringe-worthy studio collaborator in sight, but it does prove that he can jump back on the Mothership anytime he feels like it Spin

7 Days Of Funk  7 Days Of Funk

It's a welcome sign of life from an MC who many assumed to be over the hill, and where it fails, it fails on its own terms—and that's a kind of success in itself Slant Magazine

Childish Gambino  because the internet

Where his debut was crude, cartoonish and silly, this effort is faux-reflective, misguided and ultimately collapses under the weight of a concept that’s almost impossible to make sense of The Line Of Best Fit

British Sea Power  From the Sea to the Land Beyond

A potent and poetic exploration of our own human mortality in contrast with the unyielding permanence of nature and the sea The Quietus

Wooden Shjips  Back To Land

Won’t immediately blow you away, but that warm, overdriven sound makes the latest LP from this San Francisco quartet another compelling one Clash
