Listen Before You Buy

The first in a series of looks back at great or underrated albums from 10 years ago. “Sea Change” doesn’t feel like a Beck album; it feels like a Beck Hansen album. It took us closer to the real man than ever before, and we’ll probably never get as close again.

The second part of some anticipated albums for this coming year includes News Of The Fire, Nick Waterhouse, Passion Pit, Phoenix, POLIÇA, Sharon Van Etten, The Shins, Sleigh Bells, South Of France, Twin Shadow, Vampire Weekend, Woodkid and The xx!
