Car Seat Headrest — Teens Of Denial (Matador/Remote Control)
We think this one will be "one of 2016's standout releases" for its "spontaneous narrative style, DIY attitude and innovative approach". At its core is the 12-minute-long The Ballad Of Costa Concordia, home to "horns, soaring guitar riffs and gloriously angsty harmonies accompany maudlin, frenzied, sentimental and even humorous twists". We gave it four stars.
Various Artists — Day Of The Dead (4AD/Remote Control)
It's impossible to know where to start with these 59 covers of Grateful Dead songs, featuring Mumford & Sons, Courtney Barnett, The Flaming Lips and more. The result "is quite overwhelming, but bloody lovely", with the compilation getting you "lost in the old songs and new sounds" and "how many new (and old) tunes there are to still connect and catch up'. We gave it four stars.

Highasakite — Camp Echo (Caroline)
With a sound that is "undoubtedly Scandinavian" — "sophisticated, tinged with darkness, and brash and danceable — Camp Echo muses "recent politics and world conflicts" and "go bold" sonically. Highlights include "post-industrial '90s" My Mind Is A Bad Neighbourhood, the "standout" Golden Ticket and "predictably grim" Chernobyl. We gave it three stars.
