This third full-length from Warpaint is attention-grabbing and focused. This project is simultaneously danceable and soulful, incorporating R&B and hip-hop sounds into their native rock. Still, even with all these shift s in sound, Warpaint’s Heads Up maintains an intense, moody quality.
This indie rock/pop record takes you on an intentional sound journey: Soft , atmospheric tunes aptly give way to hook-driven, anthemic swells. And Real Emotion doesn’t waste any time—the album is exciting from track one and doesn’t let go until its synthtextured conclusion.
22, A Million, the long-awaited return of Bon Iver, features a distinctly gospel sound unlike much of what we’ve heard from them. This electronicforward, seemingly Kanye West-inspired record—though notably brief—takes you through a full narrative as the songs all weave a single story.
Grouplove’s third full length showcases the band’s growth over the last three years. This is a candid offering, featuring fast-paced, chorus-centric indie rock that carries oftendark lyrical musings. Like their previous music, the sound of Big Mess trends bright and airy, occasionally playful.
