Reviews / Album

As far as debut albums go this is up there with the best and though distinctly different it feels like an introduction to a impressive new talent, in much the same way Bon Iver appeared with his debut.

Rock for the masses.

Versatile and inspired.

Some of Teenage Bottlerocket's finest work.

Idea Of Happiness has arrived and, somewhat unbelievably, it is actually somewhat unbelievable.

Gold And Red is an apocalyptic country record that weds post rock’s dark, epic scope with country music’s narrative melodrama.

Milne shows he is right at the top of his game in terms of his writing and the ability to capture his songs in the studio.

Fabric 64 sits at that rare juncture where atmosphere and emotional resonance collide on the dancefloor.

Broken Brights is not quite what you might expect, with an overpowering country-folk feel and a less conventional instrumental arrangement than the singer is known for.

Baroness are the absolute darlings of the music press and, for once, the hype is justified.

With deep jazzy house music now viewed as a relic by the dance mainstream, 2012 is an interesting environment in which to issue a remastered Tourist. It begs the question: ‘How has it held up?’
