Reviews / Album

Ross has transformed from one of hip hop’s greatest frauds to one of its greatest guilty pleasures.

It’s bubblegum dance-pop that has absolutely no weight, but is made extremely well – the best-looking shirt you’ve ever seen, made using the cheapest material possible.

Trees does too, showing for a moment the outfit’s wonderfully gentle side, though this record is driven by extraordinary ferocity – it’s a beast. Listen loud.

This is Aussie hip hop at its absolute finest.

The Future’s Void is a stark, evocative journey.

River Mirrors takes many twists and turns, such as the meditative Necks-ish mood on Termites (a reimagined version of a BBK song), the swaggering vigour of Swing A Kitten, the krautrock repetition/release that is Monsoon and the Sonic-Youth-does-Motown shuffling groove of Gallows Queue.

Despite a very lacklustre ending, 'Imaginary Enemy' altough a true departure for the band, is simply fantastic.

Stay classy.

Flexing both brain and brawn in equal measure - a clear step up.

A booster for anyone who feels that Daft Punk are no longer ‘fabulous’ enough for their needs, It’s Album Time has been well worth the wait.
