By pulling Kid A from its canonical status and grounding the album in various contexts, Marvin Lin explains not only why Radiohead suddenly adopted a new songwriting methodology, but also how properties like "genre" and "authenticity" distracted us from understanding our reactions to it.

The serene, delicate songs on Another Green World sound practically meditative, but the album itself was an experiment fueled by adrenaline, panic, and pure faith. It was the first Brian Eno album to be composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio, over a scant few months in...

Welsh post-punk band Young Marble Giants released one LP in 1980 and then, like their vanishing portraits on the album's cover, disappeared.

What resonated about Endtroducing when it was released in 1996, and what makes it still resonate today, is the way in which it loosens itself from the mooring of the known and sails off into an uncharted territory that seems to exist both in and out of time. Josh Davis...

An album which distilled a genre from the musical, cultural, and social ether, Portishead's Dummy was such a complete artistic achievement that its ubiquitous successes threatened to exhaust its own potential.

Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. (1985) score redefined video game music.

Andrew Schartmann takes...

The second 12" to drop on Hank Jackson’s Anno Records comes courtesy of NYC techno oddball Huerco S. under his Loidis moniker. A Parade features three minimal club tracks replete with chirruping synth motifs and the odd dub-techno bassline. The title track is a hypnotic, edge-of-the-dancefloor delight. Imagine a more...

In the late 2000s a sprawling catalog of what is now genre-defining music was emanating from an unlikely place. Cleveland has a broad reputation for many things, but in the aughts, psyche-expanding Kosmische wasn't necessarily Cleveland's calling card - until Emeralds. The trio of John Elliott, Steve Hauschildt, and Mark...

Uptown, they unfurl scratchy drums and lissom psych/jazz guitar in a spiralling vortex of experimentally agile steppers groove - think of a whisked, hyper Andreas Tilliander and Shed collab - whilst the flipside finds that groove inverted to a viscous tangle and spaced out in fluid, sticky motion.

Amazing album by Brian Leeds aka Huerco S! Seriously good collection of corrugated, rough, and decompositional pieces. Working cheaply, Leeds conscientiously uses low-end software, synths and cassettes so as to subvert the gloss of so much urban dance music, giving tracks an impressionistic, emotive feel. Colonial Patterns plays with the...
