Reviews / Album

Undoubtedly talented, Yellen is yet to grow into himself – but give him time.

While whiling away the hours it can be revisited time and again, with enough careful nuances for new discoveries each time.

As their final farewell, Rilo Kiley’s Rkives is a send off that’s suitably mournful, sprinkled with memories and promises of what could have been.

If this is just the beginning for Self Is A Seed, we can’t wait to see what comes next.

After ten years, this group has not forgotten how to turn lemons into lemonade and it still tastes pretty damn good.

It’s heavy, it harks back to things we’ve heard before, but Venomous houses some solid production and a natural flair for structure that makes this so much more than a two-dimensional heavy release.

A new record for Finntroll is likely an excuse to hit the road again and party down with their rabid fans, rather than providing them anything particularly fresh on disc.

FOUR… is just another example of Harvey’s careful eye and ear, and a talent that can be confident, self-effacing and honest all at once.

If you’ve a passing interest in Young – forget it. If you’re a true fan, you’ll need to see it, but lower your expectations. There’s nothing groundbreaking here.
