Vampire Weekend - Father Of The Bride: Beneficiaries of their past success.

Tyler, The Creator - IGOR: Not the biggest fan, but this was pretty compelling.

Playboi Carti - Die Lit: I can do a few songs, but at an hour in length it is a slog.

The National - I Am Easy To Find: Comes across as very safe.

Magnitude - To Whatever Fateful End: Great hardcore record that does not feel stale.

Knope - Picture Perfect: Really enjoying these smaller releases.

Joshua Redman Quartet - Come What May: Too clean on the production side.

I Love Your Lifestyle - The Movie: Some good tracks, but the album falls flat.

Holly Herndon - Proto: Interesting concepts abound.

Get Up Kids - Problems: Looking forward to a few more spins.
