Mdou Moctar Funeral For Justice

The politics of this album, rooted in the plight of Niger and the Tuareg people, may be lost via a language barrier, but the intensity that drives it speaks loud and clear. From the opening title track, ferocious guitar and polyrhythmic drumming explode, almost recalling a math rock band in full swing. From here, Moctar and his group blaze their way through an album of emphatic psych-rock. Advertisement However, despite remarkable playing and energy that charges through much of this record, it’s also contemplative, varied and tender at times, with the gentle sway of tracks like “Takoba” hitting as...

St Vincent All Born Screaming

All Born Screaming introduces a new Annie Clarke, as she discards her icily cerebral persona and becomes nakedly feral. The transition to beast mode happens when second track “Reckless” mutates from genteel to carnivorous with a blitzkrieg of concussive programmed drums and chinking synths. Advertisement Dave Grohl’s massive drums intensify the hard-funk ferocity of “Broken Man” and “Flea” before the LP’s first half climaxes with the Princely strut, “Big Time Nothing”. The vibe becomes lusher as trumpets herald the ’60s film theme vibes of “Violent Times”, lifts off with the massed voices and serrated guitars of “So Many Planets”...

WHITE COLLAR PRISON Takes Aim at Corruption with Infectious Satire in “If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail)”

WHITE COLLAR PRISON ‘s debut single, “If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail),” This isn’t your average protest song; it’s a hilarious and thought-provoking indictment of white-collar crime, delivered with a theatrical flair that’s both catchy and convicting. The song follows the spectacular downfall of Congressman Richard Dutch, a caricature of privilege and corruption. Through a series of cleverly scathing lyrics (“insider trading, fraud and the rest / Plus, all of those damning emails”), the narrative exposes Dutch’s illicit activities, from bribery to embezzlement. The playful banter between characters adds another layer of humor, highlighting the...
