5 striking releases in March

Jack White - Boarding House Reach

It was clear from the teaser and promotional singles that the album would be bold, experimental and rich in influences from different styles. Boarding House Reach turned out to be just that - it is interesting to listen to, a bunch of genres coexist in it: from psychedelia to hip-hop, often even within the same track. But the weak point of this album is in experimentation: it is still a little difficult to perceive White without hits and catchy melodies.

Moby - Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt

We have already heard the main tracks of this album Like a Motherless Child and Mere Anarchy, and from them, in principle, you can get an impression of the album as a whole. It is a dark and moody release with difficult lyrics and a typical Moby range of styles, from soul to trip-hop. Someone calls the album gray and monotonous, but it seems that Moby has earned such a credit of trust that it is at least wrong to ignore his full-length works because of a couple of reviews.

Editors - Violence

Prior to the release of this album, Editors released the singles Magazine and Hallelujah (So Low), which were very different from each other. In the release itself, everything is even more complicated: it seems that the musicians have combined everything that they tried to play before. It turned out well.

Superorganism - Superorganism

Superorganism's music videos and singles began coming out last year, when their song Something For Your M. I. N. D. was featured on the 2018 FIFA soundtrack. The group got more talk when the BBC included Superorganism on its list of the most promising bands of 2018.

So far, the group is living up to expectations: the debut album, including the tracks from last year, received good reviews from critics (7, 8 points from Pitchfork and 74% on Metacritic). The background of the group is especially interesting: Superorganism is an international band with eight members from different countries and different generations who met on the Internet. Now they live in London, give performances and continue to write great indie.

Dolphin - 442

It seems that so much has not been said about Dolphin's music since the release of the hit-rich Zvezda. This time, not only music, but also political media devoted materials to her. This is due to the fact that almost for the first time since the beginning of the 2000s, the musician shows a grin and speaks not about the internal, but about the external - what is happening in the country, and his attitude to it. Perhaps, in our musical field, there is no one to compare Dolphin with: neither in music, nor in lyrics. So it's worth listening.
