Stephen Malkmus
Stephen Malkmus
Malkmus' solo debut, aptly named Stephen Malkmus, (released 25 years ago today) reclaims some of the energetic creativity of Pavement's best albums. In fact, it sounds like the most fun he's had in a studio since Wowee Zowee.

John Linnell
State Songs
They Might Be Giants' Linnell recorded an album's worth of songs about states, but never followed up with additional releases about the rest -- not unlike Sufjan Stevens recording albums about Michigan and Illinois before abandoning that project as well.

Georgia Anne Muldrow
Olesi: Fragments of an Earth
Muldrow's unlike anything to come out of neo-soul in years: innovative and introspective, questioning yet still confident in herself and her power to survive.

Telefon Tel Aviv
Map of What Is Effortless
Crisp, majestic and swirling, this sophomore record trumps their debut in spades. Map brings the grandeur of radio-inflected soul, soundtrack pads, & even a little bravado with a production frame that kills anything found on the dial.

Tori Amos
Boys for Pele
Thirty years ago, Tori Amos went three-for-three (in terms of classic albums) with the release of the raw and visceral Boys for Pele. Haunting in its beauty and harsh in its rage, it was a divisive change upon release.

Bernard Herrmann
Torn Curtain: The Unused Score
An alternate score by the more well-known Herrmann was reportedly sidelined because he refused to bend toward the director's and studio's preferred, more-commercial direction, ending a nine-film partnership.

Tortoise
Standards
Revered for their ineffably clean, precise playing, Tortoise couldn't help but mess with the formula slightly on their fourth album, Standards, released 25 years ago this month. And from the beginning of the first track it sounds like a major overhaul.

Paolo Conte
Reveries
The eccentric Italian singer/songwriter's catalog is deep and varied, and on this 2003 set for Nonesuch, he revisits a number of older songs with updated, and extremely tasteful arrangements that favor bandoneon, piano, and occasionally kazoo.
