Qobuz
Bodysong sounds very much like the ultimate sideman’s record. The pieces don’t really register as songs, but as evocative assemblages of incredible sounds—there’s some heart-stopping classical music in the style of Krzysztof Penderecki, some Bitches Brew jazz, a bit of skronky guitar, and a whole lot of irregular electronic beats.
Steven Hyden • This Isn't Happening
Like Charli xcx’s Brat , this is an album about sweaty skin, shaky walls and warehouse parties. Except, in the hedonistic world of Eusexua , the dancefloor is not merely about getting fucked up and feeling hot (no judgment here); it’s a matter of survival, healing from past traumas and letting go.
Alexandra Diamond-Rivlin • Eusexua is so much more than an ode to clubbing
They frolicked and laughed, dancing as if they were birds enjoying flight for the first time. Webb’s band played like wizards, four sets of gorgeous, stomping, low-down, rip-roaring, heart-racing jazz. The result was an outrageously joyous event, matched in intensity only by the great Mickey Katz affairs.
