Dragonflies - Dragonflies (Album Review) - Stereoboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Collaborations between established artists are dangerous things. Expertise doesn’t necessarily multiply when you put two talented people in a studio together — sometimes self-indulgence does. Thankfully, ‘Dragonflies’, the debut collaboration between Dhani Harrison and longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, avoids most of those pitfalls. It’s distinctive, understated and very listenable. Much of that comes from the production. Godrich builds the record around soft, low-slung drums, analogue
Bonobo - Distance in Static (Album Review) - Stereoboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During a career that began at the start of the millennium, Bonobo has quietly become the unparalleled poster boy for a particular strain of Real World Records-inspired electronica. His work combines organic instrumentation, international influences and expensive-sounding beats assembled with impeccable taste. If you love that sound, his relative lack of conventional hitmaking instincts has never really mattered. ‘Distance in Static’ does little to disrupt the formula. Simon Green remains more in
Mykki Blanco - Cafe Paradiso (Album Review) - Stereoboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On ‘Cafe Paradiso’ Mykki Blanco jumps between electroclash, hip-hop, garage rock, funk and experimental electronics, producing plenty to admire but little that actually sticks.

Mike D - Thank You (Album Review) - Stereoboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a problem that confronts a certain kind of musician who has spent decades inside genuinely great bands. Like Flea or Julian Casablancas, Mike D’s solo work was always likely to be interesting, innovative and occasionally quite challenging to actually listen to. On ‘Thank You’, the former Beastie Boy embraces all three states. Crucially, this doesn’t sound like a 60-year-old attempting to recreate past glories. Made partly with his sons Skyler and Davis, the record instead throws glitchy
Sam Smith - Hazel Eyes (Album Review) - Stereoboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Smith’s fifth album may represent a conscious retreat from the pop-industrial machinery that has powered much of their career. Where 2023’s ‘Gloria’ bounced between provocative dance-pop, traditional balladry and gospel, ‘Hazel Eyes’ settles into a warmer blend of soul, jazz and folk. The result, while not particularly original, is often excellent. Inspired by Smith’s relationship with designer Christian Cowan, this is ostensibly a love story, with arguments, betrayal and reconciliation alon
