‘El Dorado Drive' Review: A Risky Ride on the Wheel
It is 2008, in the early months of the recession, another way of saying that the residents of the very confidently named El Dorado Drive, on the tattered edges of Detroit's east side, have seen better days. The group includes Pam Bishop, a 42-year-old divorced mother of two, whose pugilistic ex-husband is in high arrears on child-custody payments. Though Pam lacks financial support, she can always count on emotional support from her older sister, Debra, and her younger sister, Harper, from whose vantage point Megan Abbott's muted thriller 'El Dorado Drive' unspools. Money—that is to say money's absence—defines the sisters' lives. The Bishops grew up in an affluent Detroit suburb, but golden places often have short leases. Their father lost his auto-industry job in an earlier downturn and died soon after. At the start of the novel, Debra is drowning in debt from her husband's cancer treatment and Harper is struggling to pay back a secret loan from a secret source for a secret reason. Ebullient, gregarious Pam had married well, but her hotshot husband came a cropper in several business ventures. Divorce followed. So did the move from a mansion to a ramshackle rental on El Dorado Drive. Yet when Harper, a riding instructor, returns to Detroit after several weeks away teaching equestrian skills at a camp in rural Michigan, she is baffled to see Pam in new clothes and a new car—granted, a leased car. Pam's good fortune comes courtesy of 'the Wheel,' which bills itself as a women's empowerment group. It all seems great if you don't look too closely or ask too many questions. But then Pam ends up dead.

Music Review: 5 Seconds of Summer's Michael Clifford goes solo on ambitious, pop-punk 'SIDEQUEST'
Over a decade ago, the Australian pop-punk boy band 5 Seconds of Summer emerged as charming genre-revivalists. Their 2014 career-making single 'She Looks So Perfect' was all palm-muted power chords and gang vocals, a familiar sound for fans of the Warped Tour scene. In the years since, the quartet evolved into a full-on arena pop-rock act, taking turns at releasing solo material. Next up is lead guitarist Michael Clifford, the edgiest of the bunch, with a spirited solo debut album that feels truer to the band's earliest material than their most recent. But he doesn't just rehash the past. Rather, the colorful-haired musician adds his own twist on 'SIDEQUEST.' Ten energetic, introspective tracks form a tight album that explores self-doubt, fame and romance. The songs are pop-punk in spirit but deviate from the formula with a stadium-sized production: experimental electronics, big synths and versatile vocals. And it is an emotional journey. The lovesick opener 'Kill Me for Always,' featuring Porter Robinson, sets the stage, with its scintillating mix of electronica and bass. The sound of 'Cool,' released as a single, acts as the strongest evidence of Clifford's former boy band roots. It's self-deprecating and self-aware. 'Confidence doesn't come so easily / When you're the guy who caught fire with the colored hair / From the band with the song about underwear,' Clifford sings, referencing the chorus of 'She Looks So Perfect.' In an album stuffed with energetic songs juxtaposed with existential lyrics, the best track arrives at a midpoint high in 'Enough.' 'At 3 a.m. awake again / I can see all of the damage you've done,' Clifford sings through an evocative rasp. 'With friends like you who needs a loaded gun.' 'Remember When' and 'Fashion' maintain the swoony cadence of Clifford's 5 Seconds of Summer work; 'Eclipse' ends the album in a crescendo. 'SIDEQUEST' sets out to prove it's both a culmination of the last decade of Clifford's life and a deviation from it, as he steps into his own sound. Thankfully, for fans, it succeeds. The debut album reflects Clifford's maturation and self-agency, despite the insecurities and doubts that creep in throughout. 'All I've done / Is it ever gonna be enough?' Clifford sings, growing hoarser, in 'Enough.' Then the question changes: 'Am I ever gonna be enough?' On 'SIDEQUEST,' the answer, quite simply, is yes.
