Reviews by Lewis G. Parker 
All Eternals Deck The Mountain Goats
John Darnielle invites us to follow his complicated stories for a 13th time.
BelongThe Pains of Being Pure at Heart
A consistent second album of big choruses from the New Yorkers.
Light After DarkClare Maguire
A voice big enough to warrant a weather warning from the Home Office.
The People’s KeyBright Eyes
Mescaline-soaked narratives woven through hallucinatory images of Americana.
Songs for the RavensSea of Bees
Sounds for night-time log cabins far away from America’s too-loud cities.
Gutter Rainbows Talib Kweli
An instrumentally smooth but fiercely focused fifth LP from the Brooklyn rapper.
It's a Goldie Lookin Christmas!Goldie Lookin Chain
A desperate album devoid of insight or wit.
