SYLVAN ESSO NO RULES SANDY - LOMA VISTA LP

Out of all their collaborations, it's maybe too romantic to say that Sylvan Esso is the most essential — but it's uniquely thrilling to witness the way Meath and Sanborn see each other in every song. You don't have to know yourself to know another, but there's alchemy and an open doorway if you do, and No Rules Sandy hints at the payoff of walking through it together. There's something captivating about watching two people perform a trust fall again and again and again; listening to their music is like closing your eyes and tipping backwards yourself. - NPR


NEIL YOUNG BEFORE AND AFTER - REPRISE CD/LP

Perhaps the transition from the mid-’70s outtake “Homefires” (“Gotta keep the home fires burning”) to the Buffalo Springfield classic “Burned” (“Been burned, and with both feet on the ground!”) is a little on the nose. And “Mother Earth” feels like a mandatory commitment to fill Young’s quota of at least one eco-themed song per album. But these quirks aren’t to the album’s detriment. In much the same way as Young’s 2012 autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace, felt truer for having been written out of order, intuitively as the memories occurred to him, Before and After’s idiosyncratic nature only makes it that much more appealing. - SLANT
