Egypt Station is a minor entry in a major catalog, a Paul McCartney record for people who like Paul McCartney records. Though he may never produce an essential late-career record like contemporaries Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, or even Neil Young, Paul McCartney continues to make music that takes far more chances than it has to. That fact alone should earn Egypt Station at least one spin. An album review by Tyler Clark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices For information ...

Twenty years after Death Cab for Cutie's debut record heralded them as one of the approaching millennium's bands to watch - their ninth album is a sonically smooth mid-life meditation on relationships, aging, and the fact that no one with less money than them can actually afford to live in Seattle anymore.

Mitski makes music like honesty isn’t something to be afraid of. The songs on Be the Cowboy are full of introspective, stomach-pummeling lyrics sung so steadily and unblinking that they gain even more power in their understatedness. The album shows that love and loss can be grand and small at the same time. That two minutes is more than enough time to melt down emotion into a pure concentrate and nearly drown yourself in it. That every moment can be a epic love story, that every heartbreak can b...
