Sleep Well Beast by The National
The seventh album by gloomy Brooklyn dads, The National, is to my ears their best since “Boxer”. The National rock harder here on a few tracks than usual giving “Beast” an energy and urgency not...

The saddest but most beautiful album of the year, “A Crow Looked At Me” is a concept album about the untimely death to cancer of singer & songwriter Phil Elverum’s spouse (fellow musician Geneviève...
