THE SOUND AND THE FURY
Dispatches from the needle drop. A working critic listening hard to the records that matter — and the ones pretending to.

FREQUENCY
A record that mistrusts its own beauty and is better for it. Velvet Arithmetic build cathedrals out of detuned synths, then knock the load-bearing walls out one by one until what remains is pure architecture of want.
"The most honest dishonest album of the year — a masterpiece in retreat."
