Courtney Barnett: Things Take Time, Take Time
<p><span><span>- Perhaps in response to impatient fans, songwriter extraordinaire Courtney Barnett has titled her third and latest album, <em>Things Take Time, Take Time</em>. However, even with the extra time afforded by lockdowns, or perhaps because of its straitened circumstances, the songs are minimalistic and seem as if they spent little time in gestation. Rising to prominence on the back of a style both verbose and aggressive, the new album is a significant shift.
Snail Mail: Valentine
<p><span><span>- The fecund beginnings have yielded new shoots and what they have produced is glorious. Snail Mail<strong> </strong>are well on their way to being to conduit for modern romantics, both the lovers kind and that art movement from back in day. Songs steeped in cathartic-relationship-confessionals spark bonding chemicals in your brain. Outside the omnipresent emotional weight, tell me the aesthetic of the record doesn’t reek of romanticism?

My Disco: Alter Schwede
<p><span><span>- To listen to My Disco’s new album -ever more full of ominous soundscapes, industrial machinery and crashing metal- feels pandemic appropriate. If thy flesh is diseased, cut it out! Gone are the organic, muscular guitars that these formerly <strong>Big Black</strong>-worshipping postpunks employed to crank up the sweaty tension.
Arca: Kick I-IIII
<p><span><span><span>- Arca’s </span><em>Kick </em><span>series began in early 2020, when the release of her single </span><em>Nonbinary</em><span> set the tone for this era, what would be the most complex and lengthy of her oeuvre so far. </span><em>KiCk i</em><span> acts as a taster, an insight into the various phases and soundscapes Arca explores through the project.
