Low :: HEY WHAT
A series of alien transmissions, ready for your fascinated decoding. A layering of sounds that are salty, sweet, savory. An incomprehensible message competing with a carnival across town and your roommate blasting Led Zeppelin through muffling walls.
Frankie Cosmos :: Close It Quietly
Sweetness and sunshine without overstepping into cloying and saccharine, with chiming guitars and subtle keyboard hooks providing a bed for clear female croonings.
Ladytron :: Ladytron
Eminently danceable and frequently dark, this is what robots put on to seduce each other
Loma :: Loma
Dark and light, sparse and lush, this is an album of dynamics and contrast, fronted by an angelic female voice.
