Album Review: Thundercat offers laid-back funk on “It Is What It Is”
Jon Winkler April 6, 2020

For all of his musical talent and professionalism, it’s hard to take Thundercat seriously. From his pink noodle braids to the stoner-chic of his hoodie/shorts combo to his iconic oversized bass to son…

Album Review: Superstars BTS present a mature sound in the introspective Map of the Soul: 7
Allyson Johnson February 28, 2020

If their melancholy and largely triumphant Map of the Soul: 7 is anything to go by, carrying the burden of a pioneer style of fame rests uneasily on the shoulders of mega-stars BTS. Comprised of membe…

Sylvie’s Love Review: Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha lay on the charm in this extraordinary classical romance | Sundance 2020
Jon Negroni January 31, 2020

Kajillionaire Review: Life is what you steal for it in Miranda July’s newest indie wonderwork | Sundance 2020
Jon Negroni January 29, 2020
