Father John Misty scores one of the strongest releases of 2015
Conor Battles, Editor-in-Chief, Arts & Entertainments Editor | August 5, 2015

Classic Review 7/29/15: Sufjan Stevens – ‘Illinois’

Unraveling a nostalgic, beautiful indie opus
Conor Batttles, Editor in Chief | July 29, 2015
A quasi-conceptual album, Stevens weaves a series of unrelated tales centered in or concerning the state of Illinois, telling the story of the region in a way that is entirely unique and wholly refreshing even a decade on after its release.

Mac Demarco keeps it simple with Another One

Conor Battles, Editor-in-Chief, Arts & Entertainments Editor | July 26, 2015

Tyler, the Creator's latest release 'Cherry Bomb' aims to be a break from the Odd Future mold, but comes off as uninspired and boring.

‘Cherry Bomb’ fizzles

Tyler, the Creator's latest suffers from poor mixing, bland songwriting
Conor Battles, Editor-in-Chief, Arts & Entertainments Editor | April 15, 2015
A sizable roster of guest features is a new wrinkle to Tyler’s tried formula, and it does add quite a bit to the album, but it has the unfortunate effect of making his own work pale in comparison.
