Title: Picaresque Artist: The Decemberists Style: "Picaresque captures the band in peak form, packing in exotic instrumentation that creates a lush and evocative backdrop to Colin Meloy's story-songs, which here are more colorful-- and more topical-- than ever" Review: Pitchfork My Rating: 8/10, particularly The Bagman's Gambit and The Mariner's Revenge Song |

Shining - In the kingdom of kitsch...

Title: In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster Artist: Shining Style: "Strikingly original Norwegian art-rock combo makes its debut for the prestigious experimental label Rune Grammofon, piling clattering drum machines, moaning synths and samplers, swooning vocal harmonies, and thunderous, window-rattling cathedral organs atop an alternately creeping and brutally visceral brass foundation. Colossal." Review: Pitchfork My rating: 8/10 |
