From the out-of-step psychedelic rock of 2010’s Congratulations and 2013’s Mgmt to their surprisingly somber return to form in 2018’s Little Dark Age, Mgmt has seemingly been on a career-long quest to confound critics and fans alike. On their fifth studio album, Loss of Life, the band discovers a delectable sweet spot between the psych-pop promise of their early work and their noble, albeit stubborn, determination to deliver something more sophisticated.
That’s not to say that Mgmt has outgrown their prankster ways. The album opens, perhaps counterintuitively, with “Loss of Life, Part 2,” which warps the music of the closing title song into a backing track for a reading of “I Am Taliesin. I Sing Perfect Metre,” a medieval poem celebrating the interconnectedness of all things. It’s a weird and trippy intro to Loss of Life that effectively speaks to the album’s sound and ethos.

When director Brett Morgen began his acclaimed David Bowie documentary, “Moonage Daydream” (Neon), he had no idea where the journey would take him. His goals were rather narrow: “I was hoping to create a theme park ride [in IMAX] around my favorite musical artist, something that would be intimate and sublime and experiential,” he told IndieWire.
“But the film became something much deeper and richer, which I didn’t expect to encounter,” he added, “because prior to starting the film, I only listened to David’s music — I hadn’t really listened to his interviews. So the film became more life affirming than I anticipated.”
It became a kaleidoscopic, mind-blowing journey about the chameleon of rock, built around Bowie as narrator (culled from pre-existing material), performer, and philosopher about the transience of life and the promise of the new millennium. The ambitious doc is interspersed with concert footage, interviews, music, Stan Brakhage-inspired animation,...

Brian Eno has shared a new song, “We Let It In,” featuring vocals from his daughter, Darla Eno. The musician also unveiled a video for the layered track, which was directed by Eno and London-based multidisciplinary artist Orfeo Tagiuri and uses handwriting by Eno’s
granddaughter, Anya.
In a statement, Eno explained that the song offers a new perspective from his as an artist. “It’s lowered,” he said. “It’s become a different personality I can sing from. I don’t want to sing like a teenager, it can be melancholy,...

Japanese lo-fi horror maestro Koji Shiraishi might be best known for his postmodern 2005 found footage masterpiece “Noroi: The Curse”, but with “Occult”, the director crafts a deepy disturbing Lovecraftian horror tale, once again utilizing the faux-documentary format to great effect.
It’s a profoundly unnerving film, eerily placing the demented and supernatural within the mundanity of everyday life, as a documentary crew follows the survivors of a mysterious mass stabbing. One of the survivors, Eno (Shohei Uno), reports seeing UFOs, hearing voices as well as other bizarre phenomena and becomes convinced that he is part of a bigger, supernatural plan. He begins to speculate what his role might be and as the documentary goes on, the crew slowly becomes entangled in an opaque plot cooked up by Eno, which involves an ominous ceremony supposedly demanded of him by God.
“Occult” is drenched in paranoia and filled with visions of all kinds of nightmarish,...
