Julia Holter

Materia

Julia Holter treats her latest album not as a finished object, but as music still capable of changing shape after release.

Steve Reich

Music for 18 Musicians

Steve Reich turns repetition into something alive - pulsing, breathing and changing almost imperceptibly around you. Gradually, you stop following the patterns and find yourself carried along inside them.

Laurie Anderson

A Danger to Ourselves

Laurie Anderson made technology speak with a human voice – then made us wonder whose voice we were really hearing. Forty years later, that question feels even more unsettling.

In a Silent Way

SUFJAN STEVENS

The Age of Adz

Sufjan Stevens’s 2010 album The Age of Adz is an art-pop cathedral, an electronic séance and a grief ritual set to digital fire. Behind its extravagant surfaces lies something painfully intimate: confession, panic and wonder breaking through the machinery.





SIGUR RÓS

Ágætis byrjun

Sigur Rós take rock music and make it feel almost weightless. Ágætis byrjun does not so much build songs as open enormous spaces inside them.


Scott Walker

TILT


Scott Walker's remarkable 1995 album TILT is a slow, disquieting spiral into sound, memory and menace. You don't just listen to TILT - you endure it.
