Fans of the Zodiac series will likely react positively It takes all the tendencies the band has displayed in previous editions and blows them up to cinematic size. There’s a lot to take in for newcomers, though.

Fucked Up: Grass Can Move Stones Part 1: Year of the Goat - Spectrum Culture
The story is the main draw here, the thread that ties the constantly shifting, often meandering musical elements together.

The album that saw through to the heart of the Summer of Love, though, was really none of these staples of classic rock radio. That nod goes to Forever Changes, the third album from L.A. psychedelic pop band Love.

Anatomy of a Tracklist: Love: Forever Changes - Spectrum Culture
Recorded at the end of the vaunted summer of ‘67, Forever Changes was pointedly disillusioned and cynical about the direction the alleged youth revolution was heading in.

Dry Cleaning: Secret Love - Spectrum Culture
Secret Love deepens the band’s post-punk bona fides, carefully balancing intellectual severity with emotional weight.

Straight romance? Millennial satire? Pharmaceutical-powered speculative fiction? All of the above, but never really enough of any one of them.

My latest book review for @spectrumculture.bsky.social

spectrumculture.com/2025/09/09/b...
Bonding: by Mariel Franklin - Spectrum Culture
The book never quite decides whether it's a satire of well-to-do Millennials in the great corporate wasteland, a work of speculative provocation or a straight romance.

The reality show as capitalist critique is not exactly new ground, but Aisling Rawle breathes some compulsively readable life into the idea in her novel The Compound. My latest book review for @spectrumculture.bsky.social

The Compound: by Aisling Rawle - Spectrum Culture
Like the most addictive reality TV, The Compound is compulsively readable even as it condemns the very systems that make it so.

At it's core, Ling Ling Huang's second novel contains a gripping story of a toxic friendship. Unfortunately, everything else about it tends to fall apart when you look at it too hard. My latest book review for @spectrumculture.bsky.social

Immaculate Conception: by Ling Ling Huang - Spectrum Culture
As a novel about the ecstatic highs and crawling lows of deeply emotionally connected friendship, Immaculate Conception delivers. As speculative fiction, it stumbles.

My latest short story, up in the tower of @crowkeys.bsky.social - perseverance, loss, and mushrooms. Read it and let me know what you think it's about.
The wind is barely moving the trees, here at the tower. It is clear they’re sharing secrets; otherwise, they wouldn’t be whispering. The wind brings with it many things, like in today’s short story...

Sayaka Murata often leaves readers in a 1000-yard stare at the end of her work, but on the English translation of her 2015 novel Vanishing World it's for a different, less complimentary reason. My latest book review for @spectrumculture.bsky.social

Vanishing World: by Sayaka Murata - Spectrum Culture
A book with disturbing and provocative ideas about sex and reproduction, Vanishing World never quite settles down.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Phantom Island

The orchestration is a nice touch and it would work elsewhere quite well, but Phantom Island suffers mainly from being a collection of castoffs retrofitted with strings and brass. Good, but perhaps not great.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard: Phantom Island - Spectrum Culture

The album takes a number of left turns and features a great number of references to previous Young albums, both the popular and the obscure.

Evangelic Girl is a Gun is a pop album perfect for a world where truth is uncertain, and where we’re all as online as we are in the flesh.

Discography: The Cure / The Head on the Door

The Cure's key transition album between their churning goth phase and their romantic era. In just 37 minutes the band took what came before and made it pop friendly without sacrificing the essential elements that made the Cure great.

Ty Segall - Possession

Possession makes the same case that Ty Segall has been making all along for over a decade: that he’s one of the all-timers, a guy who can range from pure fuzz to emotional finesse in the blink of an eye.

Beirut - A Study of Losses

Beirut’s lengthy, meandering album involves a conceptual project by a Swedish circus, a German novel and an inventory of vanished things.

No smoked salmon was consumed in the writing of this.

With SABLE, fABLE, Bon Iver delivers an album that feels less like a statement and more like a reconciliation. It doesn’t chase trends but finds meaning in the middle distance between cabin and studio, between myth and memory.

Death Hilarious is Pigs x7 distilled, showing them to be loud, ugly, relentless and chaotic, but never boring.
