New Reviews for April 18, 2025
Matador
The singer/songwriters reclaim the sounds of their childhood with heartfelt queer country songs that bring out the best in their music.
Reprise
The soundtrack to a film about a Neil Young solo tour captures the great contrarian sounding weathered but fully engaged.
Nonesuch
A joyful, rootsy reunion of banjo and fiddle tunes between the former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmates.
Concord / Easy Eye Sound
Another heady dose of psychedelic funk from the high-octane pairing of the Heliocentrics' drummer and guitar hero Barrie Cadogan's band.
Ipecac
The grunge pioneers team with their first drummer and two noise musicians to add new wrinkles to their legacy of heaviness.
Sub Pop
The TV on the Radio frontman continues his musical legacy with his passionate, imaginative, musically restless solo debut.
Linear Labs
The do-it-all ends his romantic psychedelic soul trilogy with a 30-piece orchestra and a cast of Brazilian vocalists singing his Portuguese lyrics.
Pompeii
A sweetly melancholy set of chamber folk songs and instrumentals for a circus show about a man who catalogs lost thoughts and creations.

1975
ABBA's self-titled third album, released 50 years ago today, was the one that really broke the group on a worldwide basis. The Eurovision Song Contest winner "Waterloo" had been a major international hit and "Honey, Honey" a more modest one, but ABBA was still an exotic novelty to most of those outside Scandinavia until the release of ABBA in the spring of 1975.
