Reviews / Album

It’s a hell of a lot of fun, and at the end of the day that’s the important thing.

METZ is a brutally endearing listen that knocks you about but never outstays its welcome.

These split personalities shouldn’t work, but with such an experienced deft hand and heritage like Knopfler’s, it does, making for a memorable listen from one of the business’ most respected treasures.

If you can hold back your body from moving, you are commended.

The comparisons with this muso’s beloved ‘Chair will be inevitable, but don’t laugh Bento off as a temporary side project.

Pales in comparison to what has come before.

It’s the quieter moments that awake more interest; World’s Between and Mean Money allow them their epically embellished Doors moments.

Clearly, Shrines is a sign of something much bigger for this group, and time will tell how far it has the ability to reach.

The overriding impressions of Cartography are its range, sense of playful adventure and lack of concern for fitting in with any sound or scene.

Donny Benet is almost certainly not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. It is stylised to the point where it could quite easily be thought of as parody.

t’s a ruthless display of wanton aggression and gnashing of teeth, with a few winks and nudges along the way.
