The Reviews Are In

Thoughts on some of the latest albums

DZ Deathrays – Black Rat

"DZ Deathrays are maturing and finding ways to up their musical game on Black Rat."

The Hold Steady – Teeth Dreams

"Teeth Dreams is a pretty decent stab and by dint of this their best album in quite some time."

Tune-Yards – Nikki Nack

"Nikki Nack establishes Garbus as a cunning, effervescent queen of pop."

In Hearts Wake – Earthwalker

"Even those that don't want to listen will be forced to stand up and take notice."

Ela Stiles – Ela Stiles

"Stiles' voice is at once bewitching, seductive, tremulous and powerful."

Jackson McLaren & The Triple Threat – Songs To Greet The Dawn

"For the most part McLaren comes across confident and content, his undeniably familiar world easy to enter."

Lily Allen – Sheezus

"Let's hope Sheezus doesn't dent Allen's quirky and clever little catalogue of music too much."

Tiny Ruins – Brightly Painted One

"Convincing without being overly earnest, Brightly Painted One is acoustic folk-pop done with rare finesse."

Jordie Lane – Live At The Wheaty

"Like all good folk music, Live At The Wheaty shares everything."

Ingrid Michaelson – Lights Out

"Lyrically playful and none too serious, Lights Out will brighten up the winter."
