There are no embarrassing stabs at pop crossovers, no bitter jabs at the record industry. Just tuneful and accomplished, if somewhat anachronistic and faceless, BIG MOODY ROCK.- Tiny Mix Tapes

The other two tunes here, the instrumental 'Ponce of the Flaming Peace Queer' and a once-again-relevant cover of 'Fortunate Son,' work fine, but, coupled with the album’s brief tracklist and tossed-off nature, they make Peace Queer little more than a focused stop-gap between proper albums.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Who Killed Harry Houdini?, the band’s second full-length release and first on major-label affiliate Mute Records, continues the group’s tradition of making happy, light-hearted pop music that’s simultaneously fizzy and sticky.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Religious Knives’ latest recording doesn’t implore repeat listens the way "Resin" did and still does.- Tiny Mix Tapes

As a whole, Reefer has proven its capacity for producing sunshine hits, but only time will tell if it will be able to push itself past the spaced-out beaches of Maui and towards more diverse soundscapes.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Yet, for each of these highlights, there’s a much weaker counterpart.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Dark Developments is another remarkably fine album from a musician who has been around doing what he does so long that he’s often unjustly neglected.- Tiny Mix Tapes

That is part of Lambchop’s charm--irony might be the hipster flavor for the time being, but you’d be hard-pressed to find less ironic and more modestly beautiful sentiment than on OH (Ohio).- Tiny Mix Tapes

You can add this record to the pile of fun, entertaining albums that is sure to get people moving at any party, although it offers little else.- Tiny Mix Tapes

While keeping the same mix of hushed beauty and spooky old-time feel, Holland seems much more direct and confident, a forwardness that risks losing some of the mystery, but instead ups the awe factor.- Tiny Mix Tapes

The resulting record plays like a soundtrack to a non-existent film, skeleton-framed and dramatic.- Tiny Mix Tapes

That she is able to incorporate these technical talents into solid songwriting is what makes This Is It the success that it is.- Tiny Mix Tapes

The organic lushness should please indie-pop fans reluctant to embrace synth music, while the emphasis on sound instead of structure holds appeal for fans of loop music who’ve grown bored of its now-familiar tropes.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Despite Andrew Barr’s attempt to develop new rhythmic ideas in every song, the tracks tend to bleed together, impairing each song’s distinctiveness.- Tiny Mix Tapes

It’s his intensity of focus coupled with an impressive range of motion that gives this album its real strength and maturity.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Props are due for not recycling the same album over and over again--something he could probably do for awhile before anyone would call him on it --but, unfortunately, the new approach results in Bianchi’s most banal album yet.- Tiny Mix Tapes

It’s no mistake that the title of this superbly fun album ends with an exclamation point; El Guincho has created an album that’s relentless in its ferocious rhythms and beats until the very last track.- Tiny Mix Tapes

This is not going to appeal to a wide swath of people, but DJs who take advantage of the late hours of a petering-out dance party to play dubstep and spacey ambient techno will surely appreciate the vibe here.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Elverum is reveling in his honest moment of awe. In doing so, he has sloshed away the Norwegian frost with a mittened hand, a frost that kept these songs so chilling.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Black Forest (tra la la) is a nice little record made by an ambitious group of musicians from whom I expect excellent things. Three or four songs here are downright wonderful, and the rest, at the very least, aren’t entirely unpleasant.- Tiny Mix Tapes

It’s the endearing uniqueness of this coupling that give Catfish Haven an edge over the plethora of contrived Americana wanna-bes currently littering the musical landscape.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Every track on Women serves a purpose to the overall stereo image, resulting in a debut that sets the bar very high.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Koushik effortlessly summons the hazy feel of running around stoned at noon on a summer day in hot pursuit of a grape soda or some other ridiculous craving to be satiated.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Drawn In Basic is an enjoyable electronic pop record, one well-suited to late, sleepless nights. With echoes of a distant club resounding in its subdued beats and hushed vocals, this is a dreamy record of lullabies for the dance-floor set.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Aside from these conceptual assertions that it evokes, Feed the Animals is a good record. Though it’s broken up into 14 tracks, it functions best (and as Girl Talk intends) as a single 53-minute mash-up.- Tiny Mix Tapes

Using a combination of brilliant textures and powerful, atypical chord progressions, Mogwai paint a picture equivalent to an auto-stereogram, popularized in those Magic Eye books 15 years ago. You almost need to loose your focus to let the music really sink in.- Tiny Mix Tapes
