Sampha - LAHAI
His patience and craft make ‘LAHAI’ a stunning experience.
20th October 2023, 8:00am
Animal Collective - Isn’t It Now
As their longest album to date, it’s hard to shift any accusations of self-indulgence.
27th September 2023, 7:50am
Do Nothing - Snake Sideways
It all brings a sense of hope in the face of the frontman’s despondency.
28th June 2023, 7:56am
Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork
It’s unlikely to win over the naysayers, but, for those already enamoured with their kitchen sink Dadaism, ‘Stumpwork’ is yet more magic from Dry Cleaning.

Gilla Band - Most Normal
Uneasy and unpredictable, yet invigorating.
7th October 2022, 12:00am
Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
A record creaking and groaning under the weight of its ideas.
9th September 2022, 6:00am
Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen
An unashamedly brash and confident record, but much more subtle and realistic.
9th September 2022, 12:00am
Preoccupations - Arrangements
It takes a while for Preoccupations to find their new groove.

Porij - Outlines
Sometimes it’s about baring your soul over a 130BPM kick-snare beat. Sometimes it’s just about making something with a real groove.
7th September 2022, 12:00am
George Ezra - Gold Rush Kid
Another charming record that’s hard not to love.
10th June 2022, 12:00am

22nd April 2022, 12:00am
Confidence Man - Tilt
Their knack for incredible hooks is still there, but the effortless fun seems to have fallen by the wayside.
1st April 2022, 12:00am
Animal Collective - Time Skiffs
For some, this might be too tame. An album full of ‘Bluish’ rather than ‘Fireworks’. But for others, that means it’s the most accessible.
4th February 2022, 12:00am
Bonobo - Fragments
When you want something with more heft, it’s a record that’s lacking.
14th January 2022, 12:00am
Katy B - Peace and Offerings
A nuanced, striking and incredibly welcome return from one of Britain’s finest vocalists.
3rd November 2021, 7:58am
PinkPantheress - To Hell With It
PinkPantheress’ viral success is much more than one created by an algorithm.
12th October 2021, 7:58am
Bicep - Isles
It’s both a comfort and a lament.
21st January 2021, 7:56am
Róisín Murphy - Róisín Machine
If it makes you move, it’s a winner. If it makes you think too, to Róisín, that’s even better.
24th September 2020, 7:58am
Wesley Gonzalez - Appalling Human
A difficult one to truly get stuck into.
11th June 2020, 7:56am
Moses Boyd - Dark Matter
A storied past and a divergent present come together to pave the way to a distinct, exciting future.
13th February 2020, 7:58am
Destroyer - Have We Met
He still has plenty to say and even more fantastical ways to say it.
30th January 2020, 7:54am
