In the great tradition of Christmas CD repackagings, Sufjan has plucked an album’s worth of material from his many volumes of holiday fare—plus one new song—for an eccentric yet charming compilation.

In palpitating trip-hop and wind-tunnel big beat, the producer’s lovestruck second album seeks a softer, more romantic home on the dancefloor.

The Australian singer’s debut cultivates a joyful button-bashing feeling as it toggles between power-, hyper-, and synth-pop.

More than 30 years after forming, the Melbourne indie-pop greats issue their full-length debut: a pristine collection that adds newfound wisdom and clarity to their intimate sound.
