![It’s hard to imagine Menomena without the multi-talented Brent Knopf, who in 2011 left the band to pursue work with Ramona Falls. Knopf was instrumental to Menomena’s creative process. During live performances, Knopf played keyboard, electric guitar, and glockenspiel, all while managing MIDI tracks on a laptop. For the recording process Knopf programmed an application to specifically accommodate Menomena’s democratic songwriting process.

Four Tet’s latest work, Pink, is full of dissonance, instrumentally diverse and quintessentially Four Tet. Sitting through the entire album is a journey, one that’s both difficult at times and instantly engaging. Pink takes the listener through a percussion and groove-filled land where loops build upon loops, house music is a clear influence, and Four Tet continues to prove he’s one of the most unpredictable artists out there.
One of Billie Holiday’s most iconic songs is “Strange Fruit,” a haunting protest against the inhumanity of racism. Many people know that the man who wrote the song was inspired by a photograph of a lynching. But they might not realize that he’s also tied to another watershed moment in America’s history.
There is a fine line between the satirist and the jester. I’m still not sure which persona Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti adopts on their latest album, Mature Themes. How well could you sing about a schnitzel? To Ariel Pink the schnitzel is just another topic up for musical discussion, like love, or money, or nymphos—whose restless hearts will be embraced by the track “Symphony of the Nymph”, If your fascinations exist beyond food and sex, they also cover the topic of assassination. Food, love and politics—could we possibly ask anymore out of an album? Subjects aside, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti scales back lo-fi recording techniques and allows their pop instrumentals to shine through. Now, perhaps more than ever, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti begs the question, is there rhyme or reason?

When I listen to Com Truise I think of angles. I think of sharp shapes, smattered across caves in varying neon color. Com Truise, to me, is the cubism of electronic music.
Micachu and The Shapes waited for the perfect time to release their sophomore album Never, a follow-up to the to the over-the-pop, experimental album, Jewelry. It’s a time when things are getting weird. The entire First World is about to dine-and-ditch the economy. The weather, in all its rage, is actually an interesting topic of discussion. And, the state of American politics is like something out of the Twilight Zone, in which, mistakes are sent to another dimension–our dimension, only to be repeated for eternity.
