Daft Punk Break Up
The legendary dance duo has called it quits 28 years after forming in Paris Daft Punk, the Parisian duo responsible for some of the most popular dance and pop songs ever made, have split. They broke the news with an 8-minute video titled “Epilogue,†excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma. Asked if Daft Punk were no more, their longtime publicist Kathryn Frazier confirmed the news to Pitchfork bu
Khruangbin: Mordechai
On their third album, the dubby band’s feel for a groove remains intact, but they often render vibrant sounds from all over the world as impeccably stylish mood music. A little over a month ago, Khruangbin marked the impending release of Mordechai by relaunching their official playlist generator. On a website called AirKhruang, fans can specify a duration and choose from a wide range of activities
The 50 Best Albums of 2019
In a hyperspeed world, it is increasingly meaningful to sit with the vision of one artist for an extended period of time. It’s an experience that can offer shelter from the noise—or it can offer better noise, if that’s what you’re looking for. From drowsy hip-hop to pitch-perfect pop, albums of all genres felt more profound than ever. Synthesizing devastating breakups and calling for revolution in
The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s
In the 2010s, as playlists swelled with unrelated tracks and algorithms shot listeners off in all directions, the full-length release started to feel on the verge of becoming an antique. But great artists will always want to create works that expand their visions, and this decade, they found new ways to push the LP forward. They pioneered the visual album, perfected the surprise drop, and stretche
Everything Solange Has Done Since A Seat at the Table

In an Instagram post, the singer-songwriter has confirmed that her fourth full-length is called When I Get Home, and it arrives at midnight. “There is a lot of jazz at the core,†Solange said of the new songs in her October T Magazine feature. “But with electronic and h
Why Burial’s Untrue Is the Most Important Electronic Album of the Century So Far
Its title rings out like an accusation. “Untrue†is a slightly old-fashioned way of describing someone—a lover, usually—who’s unfaithful. It could also be a simple assertion that something is a lie. But you might also say that “untruth†is a quintessential attribute of music itself. The word captures something about the insubstantiality of sound, its quality of dream or mirage: The way it conjures
Haruomi Hosono: Hosono House/ Paraiso / Cochin Moon / Philharmony / omni Sight Seeing Album Review | Pitchfork
Though his international esteem is virtually nonexistent, this Japanese polymath pioneered a musical ethic of open borders and freewheeling hybridity, epitomized by five new reissues. In the early 1980s, the Japanese singer, bassist, and producer Haruomi Hosono created an idea he called “sightseeing music.†It is a mode of making and listening that asks both creators and consumers to think of them
How Auto-Tune Revolutionized the Sound of Popular Music
It happened exactly 36 seconds into the song—a glimpse of the shape of pop to come, a feel of the fabric of the future we now inhabit. The phrase “I can’t break through†turned crystalline, like the singer suddenly disappeared behind frosted glass. That sparkly special effect reappeared in the next verse, but this time a robotic warble wobbled, “So sa-a-a-ad that you’re leaving.†The song, of cour
The 200 Best Albums of the 1980s
Kate Bush, N.W.A., Brian Eno, Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Sade, Sonic Youth, Janet Jackson, and the other icons who defined a decade Sometimes it feels like the neon thumbprint of the 1980s never went away. It’s arguably the defining throwback aesthetic of American culture today, from the TV series we reboot to the prints we wear. And when it comes to its music, well, that’s even more ubiq
50 Songs That Define the Last 50 Years of LGBTQ+ Pride
LGBTQ+ people have always been at pop’s vanguard, as performers and audiences; the history of pop music is queer history. Blues originators like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, both openly bisexual, helped form the foundation of what would become R&B and rock‘n’roll. In the 1920s and early ’30s, Prohibition’s end gave way to the “Pansy Crazeâ€: cabaret drag performances that brought gay nightlife to th
The 30 Best Dream Pop Albums
Drift off with Beach House, Cocteau Twins, Grouper, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and more With many of the lists we’ve assembled over the past few years, the parameters have been clear. To be considered Britpop, for example, a record had to be guitar-based, from the UK, and released during a certain period. We can argue endlessly about what’s a mixtape and what’s an album, but in assembling t
The 20 Best Experimental Albums of 2017
From Arca’s operatic insanity to Klein’s thrashed R&B, these are the year’s most urgent experimental records. The album, as a form, is a suggestion at best, and 2017’s most adventurous artists stepped well beyond its boundaries—if they acknowledged its boundaries at all. Most of the time, what’s considered experimental music derives from serious, sustained play: with genre, with form, with tempo a
The 50 Best Albums of 2017
Though our culture of fast distraction seems hell-bent on crushing the album beneath its endless scroll, the form remains a pillar of art, something to aspire to. In music, when you want to make a statement, you make an album. Still. And right now, those statements are perhaps more varied and fluid than ever before. In the following list, you will find full-length declarations of self-worth sung t
