I, Jonathan
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we explore the highlight of Jonathan Richman’s rich and varied solo career.”
Not So Much to Be Loved As to Love
“Another set of doe-eyed, goofily innocent songs of love and growing up by a boy genius who never will.”
Only Frozen Sky Anyway
“On his 18th studio album, the eternally young-at-heart power-pop troubadour—joined by his old friend Jerry Harrison—turns his thoughts toward mortality, uncovering new emotional depths in his music.”
O Moon, Queen of Night On Earth
“This album from the proto-indie star extends a remarkable series of low-key, mostly acoustic releases for Neil Young's Vapor label.”
Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild
“Another understated album from the influential singer-songwriter arrives with little fanfare. In addition to another ode to a painter and a couple of foreign-language songs, Richman, uncharacteristically, brings his unique perspective to bear on a handful of songs about death.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
