Beach House’s Music Is About Escape

I like Beach House. The older records hold up, they seem to have the strength of resisting time. At their best moments Beach House transcend, pushing aside labels and cliché they touch upon white-hot moments of feeling and the spaces between. And just to go back on that earlier point, Beach House have been around […]

The Worst in Music of 2015

The Worst in Music of 2015

The name “Viet Cong” So this year, we watched as a band named after an off-hand racist comment rose on the charts. They’ll no doubt crop up on bunches of more positive lists this month, even after colleges like Oberlin barred them from playing.

22 of Wallace Wylie’s favourite songs of 2012 (most of which are actually from 2012) so far

Beach House – Bloom (Sub Pop)

After five listens, I’m still not sure this music even exists. It’s that ephemeral, a shimmery mirage that’s every bit as substantial, every bit as nourishing, and every bit as empty, as the image suggests.

The Weeknd – House Of Balloons / Thursday / Echoes Of Silence (XO)

Sex, drugs, more sex, more drugs, each song details another night of Bacchanalian excess with no redemption in sight. Are you ready to party?

Balam Acab – Wander/Wonder (Tri-Angle)

It’s the difference between internet porn and actual sex, between Beavis and Bolaño, amusement and art.
