Mojave
Like a rustic version of the Tindersticks, Willard Grant Conspiracy croon soft songs about existential despair, crafting a worldview that balances Nietzsche with Bob Dylan on barbiturates. The downcast mood of tunes such as "Another Lonely Night" and the aptly titled "Love Has No... | 
Let It Roll
Bandleader Robert Fisher doesn't just write about the corners of the soul where death, revenge, transcendence, and spiritual crisis confuse human will. On the Willard Grant Conspiracy's brilliant sixth album, Fisher conjures them in grand sonic chiaroscuro: bright and brooding te... | 
Flying Low
He calls himself "Robert," but the Willard Grant Conspiracy singer-lyricist is obviously Nick Cave's long-lost twin brother. Imagine him stolen Stateside and reared in rural Massachusetts, host to most of Cave's eloquent sensualism but less of his suicidal romanticism and starchy... |

Boxer
With Boxer, the National have reached four albums into their increasingly lauded career, never hurrying the tempo, never over-reaching in volume or instrumental density. Instead, the quintet's balanced on a pin, emotionally austere, if not utterly downhearted, finding brilliantly... | 
Fleet Foxes
It's now twenty years since grunge emerged from then culturally isolated Seattle and Fleet Foxes, the eponymous debut album from the city's latest heroes, demonstrates just how much American independent rock has mutated in that time. The five young members of Fleet Foxes make up ... |
