Music Reviews

The ambient musician and My Bloody Valentine member offer nine minutes of blasted euphoria.

Tivel's characters are both common and unforgettable, and her prose paints their worlds in unforgettable colors. Watch a found-footage video for "Illinois."

The album — released, perhaps, ahead of its time — fused occult themes with rock music. Often described as a cult record, its influence has spread too far and too deep to be so easily cornered off.

John Kolodij sketches a future past with rugged Americana smoked in tea leaves, sheer drones wrapped in muslin cloth. Watch a video for "Black Grasshopper."

In 1991, the Tokyo Flashback comp introduced the world to Japanese psychedelic music. Experience the whammy-bar wizardry of White Heaven's "Blind Promise" from a new reissue.

The country singer's ninth album shows why Womack is one of American roots music's foremost auteurs.

On "288," Anna St. Louis' fingerpicked patterns wander through John Fahey and Elizabeth Cotten fields, her voice soft and warm like tall grass in a long day's sun.
