Reviews / Album

The original supersedes this version, however, with its darkly tinkling, otherworldly undertones.

These tracks imply they’re building to something, but the Bristol trio seem unsure as to what that is.

While Hitchcock should manage to carve out a pop-happy (and undiscerning) audience, Love Hearts doesn’t showcase enough artistry to impress.

The release lacks the same levels of reckless whimsy that previous LP Avalanche United held in spades, but you can’t deny Vinnie Caruana and the boys have tightened every facet of this rock’n’roll operation.

Generously, Romboy also includes an album’s worth of some of the best new true school house going.

While we’re still hearing a fairly atypical post-hardcore formula, Unconditional sees Memphis May Fire create something that stands out as opposed to blending in.

Valdaway’s first EP is packed with tunes making you want more from the little Perth band.

Calming as the nine songs of barely-spoken vocals and unassuming melodies may be, none are striking enough to warrant a place as the centrepiece of your attention.

ou walk away enjoying this, but waiting to see if you love him. Single fodder.

It isn’t a best of – but it kinda is, because this is the most cohesive release they’ve put together to date.
