Busdriver – Perfect Hair
On Perfect Hair, Busdriver’s 8th official album, he defies the betted ante. The pieces, parts, sinews, synapses, synopses, passions, thrusts, and bits burst out and realign of their own tremendous gravity in a dark and personal way. It is on this album that an OG announces his presence.
7/10
CHARGAUX – BROKE & BAROQUE
CHARCAUX’s new EP brings together folk, vocals, electronic drums, classical melodies, emotion, sensualism, violin, viola. This collective sound is pretty hard to imagine if you haven’t heard it before, It’s an energetic, relatable contrast to the avant garde Gallerina Suites released 2013.
7/10
SOS – SOS
Portland-based duo SOS drop their debut LP. Producer Brian Vincent’s dark electronic soundbed pairs nicely with Randa’s sensual tone, and the result is an album that commands your attention and begs for even more.
