Reviews / Album

Being a slacker has never sounded so good.

Catchy, genuine, melodic punk rock.

An excellent display of delicate, acoustic finesse from two musicians better known for rambunctious punk rock.

This is the kind of album you’ll either love or you’ll hate.

Yes, it’s a new Drones album – and as always, you’ll keep finding new corners as you listen closer.

For now, best to stick to the live clips and wait until Pure Love have developed a bit.

Popstrangers sound fully formed and in control of a range of styles that morph and rub against each to great effect.

Frak’s confidence and charisma invite you to fall into his world. If only we could call it ‘real’.

The quintet have natural melodic leanings but must have felt compelled to get down and angry on their first record.

Lanterns in particular seems to be the centrepiece all the songs here orbit around.

Along with the squeaky-clean production, this Brooklynite has created his own personal brand of R&B.
