The Reviews Are In

Midnight Juggernauts - Uncanny Valley

"The Juggers have always sounded on the verge of making a really great record, but they still haven't quite hit it yet."

Sigur Rós - Kveikur

"Kveikur may not be the band's greatest album, but it's arguably the greatest step forward they've made as artists their whole career."

Deap Vally - Sistronix

"Sistrionix won't change the world, but Black Keys, White Stripes, Blues Explosion and fuzzy rock fans could find a much worse reminder of how great this music still in 2013."

Free Time - Free Time

"Free Time offers very few surprises, but this is definitely an instance where that old saying “less is more” rings true."

These New Puritans - Field Of Reeds

"These New Puritans have made something original, daring and deeply expressive, and suffice to say, you really need to listen to it."

J. Cole - Born Sinner

"Born Sinner remains intelligent, middle-classy mainstream hip hop, a cut above the dumb shit that dominates the genre in 2013."

Portugal. The Man - Evil Friends

"This incarnation of the band is a mix of middle-of-the-road indie (Purple Yellow Red And Blue sounding like a Jamiroquai B-side) and unforgettable pop gems."

David Bridie - Wake

"Treason has strings and that plaintive piano, as he points out to sea at those desperates fleeing “on a pea green boat” while beseeching those who just watch to “…see if they'll float”."
