Reviews / Album

Don’t expect this set of songs to necessarily challenge the musical spectrum as such, but do expect to have a damn good, guilt-free listen to a damn fine pop record.

While this is a decent album, with a line-up of this calibre, the music produced is below par. The fact is, if it weren’t for the status of Transplants’ members, no one would really care about these songs.

For now though, enjoy Pythons while it lasts. Or maybe just throw it on repeat, learn the words, and wait for the next album to arrive.

The most genuine record you will hear this year.

Above all, Desire Lines strips away the pomp and keeps things low and steady, an easy-listening record for those who hate easy listening

Parsons’ second offering is a quiet, intimate experience and its rich sparseness demands attention. You won’t be left wanting, but you’ll be aching for more from the man himself.

With an obvious love of hip hop and poetry in her lyrics, Kimence could be the female artist we’ve all been waiting for

It reeks of nostalgia; faded t-shirts, basement bedrooms and cassette tapes.

The lack of any definitively catchy tune makes for a tough time getting stuck in your head, but for those willing to take the time to search out a left-of-centre addition to their 2013 listening, Partygoing is worth a look
