Illumination is quite a journey.

This album would be best played live, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, at a summer music festival, where respect for reggae is usually at its best.

Aesop Rock albums have always been flabby and the same is true here.

Maybe Morris’ semi-melodic delivery and the proficiency of these musicians means you don’t have to like Circle Jerks’ Group Sex or the first Black Flag record

Deer Tick proffer a beguiling swagger and punk-like happiness to subvert their own cause by fucking around

Hugo Race does what he wants

Never is a cheekily rendered scrapbook of genres, all put through the prism of neon ingenuity and crackpot invention

they’ve taken a risk and nailed it
