Album Of The Week Miguel Kaleidoscope Dream. Before I get into this absolutely lovely new Miguel album, Id like to say a quick word about the Mountain Goats. The Mountain Goats are quite possibly my favorite band on the face of the earth, but their albums almost never reveal themselves to me right away. It takes months, maybe years, for them to fully sink in and become a part of my headspace. Get Lonely only really started making sense to me, mattering to me, maybe last year, when that album was like five years old. And so Transcendental Youth, their new one, isnt my favorite album of the week, though god knows it could be in a month or a year or a decade.

Listen free to Miguel Kaleidoscope Dream Deluxe Version Adorn, Dont Look Back and. In the beginning, I always get all caught up in second guessing John Darnielles musical decisions, feeling slightly disconsolate about how far they move from previous albums what the fuck dude, horns, and it takes me a while to figure out why those work, how they support the words. Im working on it. Itll take me a while. In a slower week, I mightve gone all in, listened to Transcendental Youth day and night, attempted to piece together some rough idea of it so I could write this thing about it. But this week, theres this absolutely glittering gem of a Miguel album, and I just cant bring myself to listen to much of anything else. A few years ago, Miguel seemed like the sort of fabulously talented R B singer who routinely gets lost in the major label shuffle. His All I Want Is You was a great single, but ask Jazmine Sullivan what a great single or two have done for her. But then the whole hipster soul wave of the Weeknd and Frank Ocean happened last year, and you could almost see the figurative lightbulb clicking on over Miguels head all the way on the other side of the country. Around the same time Drake was releasing Take Care, his own excellently fleshed out take on that sound, Miguel was starting to toss out his series of Art Dealer Chic EPs for free online. Those EPs were messy and inconsistent, but the languid drug soul at their core showed a way forward for Miguel. See, Miguel, like Frank Ocean before him, is an absolute professional Someone who knows where to put the bridge, who knows the exact right moment to bust out his unearthly buttery falsetto. But hes also an adventurous enough soul to use those gifts for dizzy zoned out meditations on sex and drugs songs that give you an idea that this guy loves losing himself completely in those things, which is what those things are supposed to be for anyway. The most perfect moment on the Art Dealer Chic EPs was Adorn, a Prince damaged slow dissolving love as sex ripple thats become an unlikely radio hit over the last couple of months. Its not unlikely because theres anything amateurish about it its unlikely because its sort of elegant simplicity hardly ever exists anymore on rap and R B radio. Its been fun and jarring to watch a succession of rappers attempt to clumsily freestyle over it, never quite figuring out what to do with it. And thats because the song is an intimate sigh, and it just doesnt invite rappers attention. Its utterly whole on its own. The track mesmerized on Art Dealer Chic, but its actually improved with omnipresence, its virtues standing out even more clearly on the hundredth listen. And credit Miguel with knowing what he had here. Because Adorn isnt just the first song on Kaleidoscope Dream its the starting point for the entire enterprise, the dry run. The rest of the album hones in on that songs power and attempts to draw it out to album length. And, incredibly enough, it succeeds. On most versions of Kaleidoscope Dream, theres a bonus remix of Adorn with a Wiz Khalifa guest verse. Ignore that one. Just delete it unheard. Its not terrible or anything, but its pointlessness stretches an otherwise marvelous little album way more than it needs to be stretched. With that gone, theres only one guest on the entire LP A barely noticeable Alicia Keys, singing in the background on Wheres The Fun In Forever. A few of the albums synth bits nod vaguely in the general direction of EDM, but that sound has been hijacking so many commercial R B albums lately that its fun to hear Miguel treating it with the reserve it deserves. Plaster Crack Repair Tape. For the most part, were in the Weeknds sonic territory here Slow and languorous tempos, pillowy synths, delicate little ripples of fuzzed out psych rock guitar, neck snap beats smothered in vast volumes of melodic honey. But Miguel is an infinitely more versatile and assured singer than Abel Tesfaye. And hes also a more complicated character than Tesfayes nihilistic love bandit. Like Tesfaye, Miguel can sing some real assholistic player shit. How Many Drinks, for instance, is where Miguel spends an entire song asking a romantic prospect how many drinks hell have to buy her before shell fuck. I dont wanna waste my time, I dont wanna waste your time, he coos. But hes doing it sweetly, with self awareness, the utter baldness of his hustle part of its charm. Pussy Is Mine pushes that conceit even further, with Miguel singing about vagina ownership over a bare, bluesy acoustic guitar figure. Theres some studio chatter at the beginning and end, Miguel fronting like he didnt know anyone was recording the thing and he was just fucking around and murmuring to himself in the studio though that wouldnt explain the perfect little keyboard blips that hover in the background. Hes a total con man there, of course, having it both ways and making it clear that he can get away with it because he sounds like that. And he sounds a lot realer when he drops the player act and just opens up. This, for instance, could never be a Weeknd lyric My pride is waving a white flag. Album closer Candles In The Sun is pure gooey hippy dippy the world is fucked nonsense, with Miguel singing about the worlds ills without ever offering up anything specific. Heres how he starts Is there a God Is He watching Is She watching Are They watching now Again You dont let loose with open hearted babble like that unless you really mean it. And just like the rest of the album, he delivers the lines with such elegant reserve, over music so vaporously pretty, that it just forcibly pries involuntary contented sighs from you anyway.
