On the Record: Jessie Ware, Wild Nothing, Owl City, and More
Album reviews in 30 seconds or less.
Jessie Ware
Devotion
(Island UK)
Sounds Like: A thrillingly refreshing new voice from London, whose elegant pipes are perfectly paired with both modern beats and retro-soul guitars and synths.
Free Association: This debut’s a shocker, catchy and expertly produced with variety.
For Fans Of: Little Dragon x Katy B + Kate Bush, Jessie J minus dumb outfits and faces.
Matthew Dear
Beams
(Ghostly Int’l)
Sounds Like: The Texas-born, Detroit-raised DJ and performer’s follow-up to the stellar Black City is just as hypnotic and danceable. Quirky beats, infectious rhythms.
Free Association: He doesn’t even make us wait long, but the wait was totally worth it.
For Fans Of: Frankie Knuckles x Small Black, Hot Chip + David Bowie, avant pop.
Wild Nothing
Nocturne
(Captured Tracks)
