Fourteen Ways of Looking at Jellyfish
Fourteen Ways of Looking at Jellyfish Boston Weatherford and Ibatoulline offer 14 different angles on jellyfish in this reverent, notebook-like assemblage of facts and appreciations. The creative team’s “ways of looking” range from literally peering at jellyfish in a creek to contemplating them through the eyes of a biologist who “saw his late wife’s reflection in a jellyfish.” Spreads also cite the subjects’ “unusual common names” (e.g., “fried egg”), scientific classification, and more.

They Hate Change: Finally, New
A surface scan of the tough talk and boasts that pepper Finally, New can obscure the fact that it’s a hard rap record made by music geeks; Vonne and Andre are internet seekers, curious aesthetes diving into the deepest nether regions of a culture they’ve only ever been able to observe from afar, even as they immersed themselves in their local scene. Their lyrics reflect their outsider status, with signifiers meant to place them in opposition to the mainstream.
Sheryl Crow: Sheryl: Music From the Feature Documentary
Toward the end of Sheryl, a new documentary that’s somewhere between a gentle hagiography and an electronic press kit, Sheryl Crow reckons with her status as a music business veteran: “There’s a weird thing that happens when you become a ‘legacy artist.’ It’s sort of a sideways compliment.
Jordana: Face the Wall
Face the Wall bolsters Jordana’s resumé with a cohesive full-length, suspending the polymath approach for a more professional-sounding statement. It’s an accomplished record that, given the variety of Jordana’s catalog, feels short on surprises; having mastered the nuances of production and songwriting, she’s still finding ways to make her voice ring clear. Yet her melodies are dynamic, her ballads immune to adolescent melodrama: the toughest hurdles are behind her.
