Daily Discovery: Julianna Barwick – Nepenthe

Andrea Aribe | Aug 30, 2013
Airy, majestic, ethereal... simple adjectives are perhaps the fairest way to characterize Julianna Barwick's newest album. It's a work of simplicity, but Nepenthe is hauntingly alluring.

Daily Discovery: Dent May – Warm Blanket

Mason McGough | Aug 27, 2013
Warm Blanket has enough pervasive earworms to make for a charming post-summer listen. The skeletal sound of Dent May's new record instantly recalls Brian Wilson's writing.

Daily Discovery: Julia Holter – Loud City Song

Mason McGough | Aug 26, 2013

Daily Discovery: Moderat – II

Mason McGough | Aug 1, 2013
The complaint you will always hear from haters of electronic music is that they would prefer something with more of a human element. It's not totally unfounded; most EDM we've come to know is emotionally dead, despite its appeal to the carnal urge for dance.
