New Reviews for March 14, 2025
Fire Records
The band's stripped-down 11th album creates a mood of earthy tension with bracing acoustic tones.
Republic / Urban Republic Records
The English band's classic 2009 debut gets the orchestral treatment as part of the BBC Proms series.
Matador
Incorporating industrial beats and dynamic arrangements, Haley Fohr charts a path between the club and the cosmos.
Sub Pop
The experimental noise-rap trio evoke cyberpunk as well as big beat, drum'n'bass, and electro on their most techno-shocked release.
Tapete Records
The legendary indie pop pioneers reunited after 40 years to release a debut record made up of jangling, melancholy songs delivered with graceful restraint.
Leiter
The conclusion of her travelogue triptych, the sitarist enlisted sarod master Alam Khan and producer/drummer Sarathy Korwar to assist.
Fiction
The musician and producer makes an inspired return to prog on this two-suite set about viewing the earth and its people from space.
Lower Third
The U.K. band's third album is a glorious exercise in coherent chaos and delivers an abundance of edgy fun.

Earth, Wind & Fire has delivered more than its share of excellent albums, but if a person could own only one EWF release, the logical choice would be That's the Way of the World (released 50 years ago today), which was the band's best album as well as its best-selling. There are no dull moments on World, one of the strongest albums of the '70s and EWF's crowning achievement.
