Nonesuch Records released Dark Matter, the follow-up to 2008’s best-selling Harps and Angels, in August to widespread critical acclaim. Randy Newman "remains first and foremost a craftsman of song, capable of telling ordinary stories in ways no one quite has before," says NPR. Newman is "still at the top of his game on his first studio album of all-new material in nine years," says the Associated Press. "Dark Matter is a typically engaging mix of topical tunes, quirky characters, history lessons and wry asides." Q gives it four stars and concludes: "There's still nobody like Randy Newman."
