On their debut album, they go in search of transcendence The Welsh brothers earned a rep for festival anthems that bridge big-room functionalism with subtle experimentation. The Welsh electronic duo bring the beats, bass and moody vocal chops on their first LP Overmono consistently avoid the obvious move in an album that proves surprisingly intoxicating There's a pleasing flow and emotional arc to the collection that draws you deeper in the further you go, in much the same way that Smashing Pumpkins' most beloved albums were such all-encompassing experiencesīilled as a sequel to their classic album 'Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness', this sci-fi-inspired epic is ambitious and complex Still, Corgan somehow achieved the impossible: a genuinely likable, odd, and even inclusive album that sounds like nothing else in 2023 The Pumpkins might not sound like they used to, and certainly not how you'd like them to either let's call a spade a spade here. The Future draws on those accomplishments through a timeless tapestry that offers reason to rejoice Ultimately, The Future represents another plateau for a band that’s quickly earned a stellar reputation for both verve and versatility. The Colorado band’s latest album is full of well-turned retro moves and reaches for a deeper meaning Their bluesy soul is being delivered with newfound heart, spirit and zeal, one that makes The Future jubilantly bright - just the vision we all need after the bleakness of the past year Print edition onlyīy the time they close with the fiery Motown vamp "Love Don't," Rateliff and his band have covered a nice range of moods on what is their most diverse release yet The frontman and his septet sculpt grooves and hooks that immediately grab hold. He covers old bases with new fervour, but there's so much happening, so much detail that it feels like a giant leap forward. Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent review
