Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox album & the Charm (also known as Avalon Emerson & the Charm[1]) is the debut studio album by American electronic music producer Avalon Emerson, released on April 28, 2023, through Another Dove and One House Records. It was co-produced by English producer Bullion and received acclaim from critics.

Background

Emerson began working on the album during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 at her Los Angeles home with wife Hunter Lombard, and then traveled to London to co-produce the album with English producer Bullion (Nathan Jenkins).[2] Emerson created a side-project band called the Charm with Lombard, Bullion, and friend Keivon Hobeheidar to attribute the album to.[3]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Music ratings & the Charm received a score of 80 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[4] Josh Crowe of Clash called it "a distinct strain of synth-pop that takes inspiration from avant-pop auteurs" that "still features snippets of sound linked to her live sets, but crucially the LP focuses on a new kind of songcraft and features Emerson's voice".[1] Uncut wrote that "Bullion's smooth, rounded sound burnishes what is a dynamic collection of songs",[5] while The Wire felt that "& the Charm will find favour with anyone into Cocteau Twins, dreamy bedroom synthpop and anything Balearic. 'Entombed in Ice' feels nostalgic but fresh, Emerson's vocals floating effortlessly overhead".[6]

PitchforkШаблон:'s Anna Gaca commented that "the lucid dream-pop ditties of & the Charm take in the misty-eyed gaze of Japanese city pop, the slow-mo fireworks of shoegaze, the gentle sea spray of Balearic house, the jangly collage aesthetic of Saint Etienne".[7] Ben Devlin of MusicOMH found it to be "decidedly less club-oriented than her previous work, focusing more on songcraft and Emerson's ethereal vocals" with the tracks "hav[ing] a whimsical feel to them, at times borrowing from shoegaze and at other times disco, old-school electro and 2-step garage".[3] Ben Jolley of NME felt that while most of the album "consists of incredibly catchy, radio-friendly pop songs" it is "on the whole sonically softer than her solo releases" and several tracks "still retain a club-friendly undercurrent".[8] Sophie McNulty of Resident Advisor described the album as "musically soft and floaty, although there's a dark tint to her lyrics".[9]

Exclaim! ranked it the 17th best album of 2023, with the publication's Alex Hudson writing that "when the vibes are heavenly, the clear-eyed lyrics and sweaty dance pulse keep & the Charm anchored here on Earth".[10] Gorilla vs. Bear ranked it the 19th best album of the year,[11] while Pitchfork ranked it the 30th best.[12]
