Why hasn’t Radiant Children blown up? The four dream-soul songs on Radiant Children’s Tryin’ EP are superior to almost everything the Internet, Janelle Monaé or Little Dragon have issued recently. Don’t believe me? Even cursory examinations of “Life’s a Bitch” and “Poke Bowl” will convince you that the London based trio has been unjustly overlooked.

Old dogs execute all manner of new tricks on a strange new tribute album. Billy Swan and Buzz Cason perform surprising interpretations of Buddy Holly songs on Billy & Buzz Sing Buddy. “Lookin’ For Someone to Love” is one of the project’s most conventional selections.

I’m disappointed that Ólafur Arnalds’ Re:member doesn’t possess the emotional resonance of the late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s work. RIYL: androids, Brian Eno, bleeps.
