Fever Ray - Plunge

Plunge explores elementary emotional and physical stimuli in social life, often related to cultural taboos. Karin Dreijer plays with sexual and bizarre sadomasochist aesthetics. The album seems part adventure, part psychoanalytical and anthropological analysis. The music is synthetic, cold, less mysterious than Fever Ray’s previous album, contrasting with Dreijer’s intense, feverish posture.

Beck - Colors

After the introspective, recluse Morning Phase, Beck comes back with the exact opposite: a collection of shining pop songs. Colors is an exercise on contemporary pop, a successful one: we’ve never seen Beck so openly appealing to the masses.

Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog

This Old Dog suggests DeMarco is taking his time after years of success following 2014′s Salad Days. Between the electric-acoustic sound of Salad Days and the electric piano romantism of 2015′s Another One, DeMarco doesn’t bring anything musically new, but he’s surely more focused into retrospective lyrics. Nevertheless there are great tracks such as For the First Time, One More Love Song and On the Level.  We’ll soon see if he’s taking his breath or reaching his creative peak.

King Krule - The OOZ

Archy Marshall challenges the listener with left-field rock ‘n roll and hip hop infused in cool jazz. One can clearly listen to Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Pixies, J Dilla, Madlib, Miles Davis. But King Krule’s got his own contemporary touch, so The OOZ goes telling fragmentary tales of decadence. The album is not easy, not inviting, but it pays off the effort, or better, it pays off letting yourself go with the music through Marshall’s paranoia.
