Some thoughts on new music...
First Aid Kit - Stay Gold
"There's really little to dislike here, but in the hands of a different producer, one who might reinvigorate their sound, it could have been so much more."
Remi - Raw X Infinity
"REMI is smooth as fuck and Raw X Infinity is damn good."
Fishing - Shy Glow
"This debut album from Sydney electronic duo Fishing radiates with an ebullient warmth."
Jack White - Lazaretto
"There's a lot to like here."
Passenger - Whispers
"Whispers is an admittedly more upbeat record than we're used to hearing from the folk-singing Englishman."
Glass Animals - ZABA
"While ZABA is stuffed full of 11 clanky stunners, it's the way it plays out as a whole that's the true triumph – utterly killer."
The Amity Affliction - Let The Ocean Take Me
"They have a distinct sound, they do what they do incredibly well, and on Let The Ocean Take Me they've jacked up all those trademark elements."
Cher Lloyd - Sorry I'm Late
"Thankfully the Black Eyed Peas' influence is gone, but most of the album sounds like conveyer-belt pop."
Gum - Delorean Highway
"If it were a Pond album it would fill the sonic gap between Beard, Wives, Denim (2012) and Hobo Rocket (2013), but this is all Watson."
