Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Rostam  Changephobia

While Half-Light feels more apt to be listened to under twinkling stars, Changephobia is a fitting record for sunny summer days, leaning into a stripped-down sound that combines pop with jazz A.V. Club

Crowded House  Dreamers Are Waiting

Dreamers Are Waiting is a remarkable album and an incredible return-to-form for Crowded House. Who knows? Maybe the new generation will discover this album and they will gan a bunch of new fans. One can only hope Vinyl Chapters

Japanese Breakfast  Jubilee

Judging it from the outside, it would be easy to write off Jubilee as just a triumphant pop album from a young singer songwriter who’s well on track to be the next Aimee Mann or Conor Oberst, but there’s a depth and sensual nuance to the album that most of her contemporaries lack Beats Per Minute

Greentea Peng  Man Made

An ethereal, almost spiritual experience Gigwise

Japanese Breakfast  Jubilee

From here on out, Japanese Breakfast can go anywhere and we’ll follow DIY

Liz Phair  Soberish

Liz Phair  Soberish

Soberish may leave certain critics and listeners feeling dissatisfied, perhaps longing for the old days, but Phair has persevered long enough to hold her own, coming fully equipped with the inimitable songwriting expertise, sardonic wit, and aching soul that made her so relatable to begin with Under The Radar

Liz Phair  Soberish

Her first album since 2010 reminds us why she’s one of the most important songwriters of the last 30 years Rolling Stone

Japanese Breakfast  Jubilee

Indie-pop artist Michelle Zauner’s latest is her most ecstatic-sounding LP to date Rolling Stone

Liz Phair  Soberish

The singer still has a knack for sharp melodies and lyrical gems, but the album’s sonic presentation falls flat Slant Magazine

Rostam  Changephobia
