In recent years, the face of the mainstream electronic music has not represented the nuance of the genre. DJs can get rich spinning formulaic tracks packed with as much bass as possible. While no one is denying the satisfaction a drop can bring, it can be disappointing to see subtlety absent from what has potential to be an intricate musical style. Bonobo’s latest release, “Migration,” is a much-welcome sigh of relief for the genre as a whole. With the widespread success of the artist’s prior 2013 album, “The North Borders,” many were expecting his latest release to largely play to his strengths while not bringing anything new to the table. Thankfully, the naysayers were wrong.

Ever since their humble beginnings in a crusty garage in Ohio, the members of Guided by Voices have strived for the grandiose. Though it took a while to gain traction among a wider audience, the music the band made was destined to soar in stark contrast to the midwestern flatlands where it was born.

The trap genre — throughout 2016 — does not readily permit any eccentricity from its core identity. Artists on opposite ends of the East Coast, each with contexts and stories uniquely their own, still doggedly follow the prototypical trap ethos: money, drugs, girls and the pursuit of such.

When you think of rap, you don’t expect it to be about postmodernism and the Hagakure, but Wisconsin rapper Milo covers both before the third song even hits on his latest EP “So The Flies Don’t Come.”

When asked what kind of music they’re into, the vast majority of college students would offer the same response: “I pretty much listen to everything except country.” This is a sentiment Sturgill Simpson knows too well.

Most University students when hearing about a rap show at the Jefferson Theater might envision barely discernable verses, overdriven beats and a boisterous crowd. Understandably, the audience at last week’s GoldLink show walked in with high hopes and latent reservations.

In music, there lies a thin line between a satisfying revival and boring repetition. In many ways, the new Yuck release “Stranger Things” falls victim to the latter unfortunate trend.

If there is thought-provoking state, it is North Dakota — the consistent geographical muse of Brooklyn garage-rock band Parquet Courts.

American metal band Deafheaven angers some not necessarily because of what they sing about, but rather the fundamental nature of their art. The group tiptoes the border between shoegaze and black metal, borrowing heavily from both genres and leaving a roiling sea of debate in their wake. Some fans of metal and shoegaze vehemently loathe what they see as a corruption of genres, while others see genius in Deafheaven’s blending of musical palettes.

Alex G usually doesn’t expect anyone to truly understand him when he makes music. If he did, he wouldn’t be hiding his already whispered lyrics behind walls of distortion, or writing songs about how whales are his favorite animal. It’s confusing at first — why would an artist constantly shout such cryptic messages to their audience?

While it is getting cold outside, and everyone is glad the days of sweater weather are upon us, many are still clinging to the last dregs of summer that are fading away — American rock group Wavves is among them. Wavves’ new album “V” stands defiantly against the falling leaves, dripping with images of lazy, hungover mornings and sun-bleached beaches.

It is rare to find a genre with a truly cohesive identity. Vague labels like “indie rock” and “pop” say little about the inherent substance of the music they strive to describe. This is what makes the emo genre so truly special.

A cold, cramped place filled with old memories and subtle pangs of regret — one many have visited temporarily, only to forget it exists immediately upon their departure — is the world that Low inhabits. In fact, their mastery as denizens of this strange dimension has debatably elevated them to the position of the foremost slowcore band. In their brooding, immersive new release “Ones and Sixes,” Low takes you to this place, whose existence is often forgotten.

Deerhunter has seldom been a proponent of easy listening. Thankfully, effort on the part of the listener is more than rewarded. Soundspaces that initially disorient eventually made fans glad they were lost within the noises. Every confusing turn leads to something wonderful.
