Music: Three recent albums Pitchfork says are worth your time

  • one Camera Obscura, “My Maudlin Career”: “The album feels as if it could have been released any time in the last 50-odd years, but the inspired arrangements – and, of course, Campbell’s indelible voice – make it sound fresh, too.”
  • two Art Brut, “Art Brut vs. Satan”: It’s a return to form after a just-OK second album, “a scrappy, romantic, and painfully hilarious return to loserdom. Coldplay will always be more popular. So what? I hate those guys!”
  • three Bill Callahan, “Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle”: They heart the Smog dude. “This self-portrait is so complex and subtle that it’s tempting to skip discussing the actual music, which speaks so eloquently for itself.”

Music: Pitchfork is lukewarm on the new M. Ward album

  • Hold Time is an enjoyable, well-constructed album, and as good a place as any for newcomers to start – it just doesn’t hold many surprises.
  • Marc Hogan • In his 6.8 review of “Hold Time,” the latest by singer-songwriter M. Ward, who’s become pretty popular over the last decade or so. This could be his mainstream ticket, kids. • source
