- Marcy Donelson
Las Mujeres Ya No LloranEditor's choice
Sony Music
Twelfth LP from the global pop star that essentially merges a short new album with a de facto "Greatest Hits 2022-2024."
- Neil Z. Yeung
Tigers BloodEditor's choice
Anti-
An exceptionally warm and intimate album that benefits from the interaction of a full band featuring MJ Lenderman, Spencer Tweedy, and Phil Cook.
- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Real Power
Music for Nations
The trio's dignified, down-to-earth return balances thundering disco anthems with refreshingly unguarded pop and ballads.

Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time
AllMusic Staff Pick - March 28, 2024
June 25, 2013
The final album by this dreamy noise pop group is a collaboration with poet Jenn Morea, following a young girl and her animal sidekick on an adventure through the Mesozoic era. An ethereal sound and lyrics influenced by natural history make this a transportive listen. "Pangaea Girls (Magic Feeling)" is a particularly lovely track, with infectious bass and fuzzy, distant guitar.
