Reviews by Lewis G. Parker 
-
All Eternals Deck The Mountain Goats
John Darnielle invites us to follow his complicated stories for a 13th time. -
Belong The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
A consistent second album of big choruses from the New Yorkers. -
Light After Dark Clare Maguire
A voice big enough to warrant a weather warning from the Home Office. -
The People’s Key Bright Eyes
Mescaline-soaked narratives woven through hallucinatory images of Americana. -
Songs for the Ravens Sea of Bees
Sounds for night-time log cabins far away from America’s too-loud cities. -
Gutter Rainbows Talib Kweli
An instrumentally smooth but fiercely focused fifth LP from the Brooklyn rapper. -
It's a Goldie Lookin Christmas! Goldie Lookin Chain
A desperate album devoid of insight or wit.
