Speakerboxxx/The Love Below – Outkast

Finley Gober May 2, 2025

Talk about funk town. Andre 3000 does flute albums now (also wonderful in its own right) which means too many folks forget the Atlanta music legend could lay down absolutely stupendous bars. Don’t even...

Marc Mac Presents Visioneers – Dirty Old Hip Hop by Visioneers

Finley Gober May 1, 2025

This one is straight from funk town, full send. I’m pretty sure this is the most sampled album ever made, but don’t look that up. If you like juicy bass lines and scarce but wicked rapping then listen...

Dots and Loops – Stereolab

Finley Gober May 1, 2025

I’m still not really sure what “camp” means in an art context, but I definitely think this is it. I’m making up a new genre called “hip auntie” and “Dots and Loops” is the first album in...

Blacks and Blues – Bobbi Humphrey

Finley Gober April 11, 2025

Musical tapestry, via Bobbi Humphrey’s immaculate flute playing. This album is flavorful, dense, immense, and although lyrically scarce, feels like a good conversation with Mrs. Humphrey herself.

Kraftwerk predicted the future, dropping this techno-pop opus thematically based on the takeover of technology in 1981.  “Computer World” laid the “groundwerk” for countless bands and artists...

700 Dagreez – Black Kray

Finley Gober April 11, 2025

This is infectious, this is momentous, this is art. Gosh, I miss cloud rap. Things just aren’t made like they used to be.

“Scrapyard” – Quadeca

Finley Gober March 14, 2025

A musical cluster-bomb adorning flying waves of Alternative, Hip-Hop, Bossa-Nova and everything in between. As the artist himself stated in a “Scrapyard” bonus-cut, all of his “scraps are on plaques.”...

“Pray For Paris” – Westside Gunn

Finley Gober March 14, 2025

A French art museum in sonic form, featuring mesmerizing production and the best ad-libs in the game. Doot-doot-doot-doot-dooooooouh!

“Blonde On Blonde” – Bob Dylan

Finley Gober March 14, 2025

“Blonde On Blonde” never backs down from the masterful songwriting the world had come to expect out of 1960’s Bob Dylan while taking a massive—and sometimes rather wacky (see “Rainy Day Women...

“Majorly Independent” – LaRussell & P-LO

Finley Gober February 1, 2025

An ode to the classic low-end frequencies of the Bay, packed to the brim with quotables and ear-catching deliveries. It’s quick, it’s snappy, it’s fun and it’s surprisingly refreshing in a world...

Finley Gober February 1, 2025

The UK Alt mastermind's first exploration into their complex and raw breed of alternative and rock serves as an enlightening glimpse into the group's life and creative process. Grab some headphones and...

“Lahai” – Sampha

Finley Gober February 1, 2025

A delivery of tender poetry from the heavens, aka Sampha. Lahai is gentle and warm sonically, contrasted by intricate labyrinths of stuttering drums. Sampha ties elaborate knots in the forms of chords,...
