The original Metronomy line-up has fledged its fair share of minor stars, but nothing in the...
Lubomyr Melnyk – Fallen Trees // Album Review
Melnyk is one pianist that could outmanoeuvre Nils Frahm in a thumb-wrestling contest.
ShitKid – This Is It // EP Review
Her third EP builds upon the lo-fi eccentricity that has had her hailed as an ‘anti-popstar’.
Daniel Woolhouse – What’s That Sound? // Album Review
Deptford Goth has changed his name and just as well for all the voracious Deptford Goths keeping a beady eye out for a new record that sounds like his old records because this one doesn’t
Matmos – Ultimate Care II // Album Review
The barrage of banging metronomic grooves and water-based samples are softened with a variety of other truly alien, yet intriguing, sonic oddities
patten – Ψ // Album Review
While nothing can compete with their live show, Ψ is an electrifying reminder of what patten can create
Fuzz – II // Album Review
II is something of a mammoth, but when it comes to loud and heavy seventies-style rock there are few better ways to spend your time
Mogwai – Every Country’s Sun // Album Review
Every Country’s Sun blatantly looks to the band’s past for inspiration, while constantly looking ahead to the future.
Leon Bridges – Coming Home // Album Review
There’s not a single dud song in the set and there’s nothing premeditated about it. Leon, you’re all soul.

Jorja Smith – Lost & Found // Album Review
Her debut album is so utterly flooring vocally, on that merit alone you could argue she deserves the early acclaim.
Anna Calvi – One Breath // Album Review
Recorded in five weeks, as opposed to two and a half years, there’s a sense of spontaneity to Anna Calvi’s second LP that was lacking on her meticulously-crafted debut.
Review // Crushed Beaks – Tropes
ASL // September 16th
The scuzzy UK garage-rock revival has been simmering away for some time; generous helpings of eye-catching and head-banging outfits are all...
Death Cab For Cutie – Kintsugi // Album Review
Kintsugi is an emotional roller coaster proudly bearing its cracks for all to see
Bing & Ruth – No Home Of The Mind // Album Review
A record that mostly is heavy, dense and incredibly minimalistic, yet still uproarious as far as ambient music goes.
Anteros – Breakfast // EP Review
It’s still early days for Anteros but they’re already well on their way to perfecting the art of the bittersweet pop song.
Chuck – My Band Is A Computer // Album Review
If you love a strummed acoustic, a catchy hook and a clever turn of phrase these thirteen songs will impress
1-800 Dinosaur presents Trim // Album Review
It is the will to experiment that makes this album significant as the resurgence in grime reaches newer heights in 2016.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Hypnotic Eye // Album review
a return to form that thankfully buries the memory of the corny The Last DJ and the exhausted blues pastiche of Mojo to another era.
