Ryan Downey's captivatingly dark, baritone voice immediately strikes you, enhanced by moody, Western-style instrumentation in opener, The One.

Turn this up to 11 and strap yourself in for a dark electronica ride.

Back To Forever is another powerful statement from 30-year-old Lissie, the sandy blonde songwriter returning with a second slice of rockin' Americana pie.

Aiming for consistency, Superhumanoids have released an album of bright, feelgood pop.

This extensive but predominantly grave offering floats between folk, indie pop and country genres; at times distinctly operatic and at others, jangly.

Sweet and inoffensive, this release feels drifting rather than punchy and draws on retro sunshine-pop bands such as The Mamas & The Papas through cutsie vocal techniques such as the round.

Rakei's vocals prove effortlessly polished, but border on sleazy.

Heights draws on retro and shoegaze elements without being derivative; taking full advantage of contemporary production within its eclectic brand of fuzz rock.

Offering a refreshingly down-to-earth, eclectic folk release, Sahara Beck doesn't rely on heartstring-tugging melodrama.
