Album Review: Islands - Ski Mask

Nick Thorburn has always known his way around all imaginable forms of pop hook – while there is less variation here, the earworms remain in fervent force.

Album Review: Brendan Gallagher - Wine Island

Former Karma County guy and much respected guitar study goes for the full bottle double album affair, with each disc (Bianco and Rosso – sensing one of the themes?) showing two distinct sides of his nature.

Album Review: Kate Nash - Girl Talk

Girl Talk is another step in shaping Nash as a singer-songwriter, but lacks the consistency to make it memorable

Album Review: Larry Gus - Years Not Living

It feels like losing control at a wild party, but when the beats kick you know you’re having fun.

Album Review: Manic Street Preachers - Rewind The Film

Take a moment to enjoy the reflection and the tears.

Album Review: Quasi - Mole City

Mole City is playfully weird, but above all else a truly fun rocking album.

Album Review: Human Parts - 'Human Parts'

Random acts of songwriting attempts on tape.

Album Review: Bree De Rome - Bag Of Bones

Her pop side can write with Sally Seltmann, while the country element can still kick stones down a dirt road.

Album Review: Lester The Fierce - Lester The Fierce

Then it throws its arms open – like on the closing Volcano – and gets a bit grander, lacking only the 100-piece orchestra in a coliseum that it kinda feels is demanded.

Album Review: Norma Jean - Wrongdoers

The title track is a standout along with Sword In Mouth, Fire Eyes, Neck In The Hemp and Funeral Singer. Without a doubt their strongest release in their discography.

Album Review: Adalita - All Day Venus

It is here that Adalita feels truly at home, using the brutality of noise to cushion the blows of her personal demons.

Reviews / Album

Album Review: CHVRCHES - The Bones Of What You Believe

It stands as the pinnacle of the listening experience, allowing the record to then trail off naturally to the complete comedown of You Caught The Light. And following those concluding notes, it’s clear you’ve listened to something pretty special.
