Album Review: A Gazillion Angry Mexicans - Juan, Two, Three, Four
"This high-octane release offers a refreshingly intricate brand of pub-rock."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: The Love Junkies - Flight Test
"This varied collection spans genres, moods and authors in a loose fashion."

Album Review: Tincture - The Tryst
"Luke Dalton’s debut EP swims and pulses through a sea of haze and twitching, odd-ball percussion."

Live Review: Baths, Andras Fox, Kirkus
Technical issues plague the entirety of the set, but luckily this sort of works within Baths’ glitching, jarring aesthetic.

Album Review: Le1f - Hey
Brimming with style and personality, Le1f conveys a grimy, party feel within this minimalist, hip hop equivalent of junkyard music.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Glory Club - Glory Club
The original supersedes this version, however, with its darkly tinkling, otherworldly undertones.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Jimmy Junk Heart - Jimmy Junk Heart
Sparse and at times withdrawn, this offering doesn’t possess much dynamism. Instead it just casually floats along.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Falling Stacks - Vizsla
These tracks imply they’re building to something, but the Bristol trio seem unsure as to what that is.

Album Review: Deer - Love Hearts
While Hitchcock should manage to carve out a pop-happy (and undiscerning) audience, Love Hearts doesn’t showcase enough artistry to impress.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Benjamin James Caldwell - Benjamin James Caldwell
This relaxing yet melancholy collection should easily charm lovers of contemporary folk.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Waza - Love Is A Battlefield
Waza effectively merges old-time nostalgia with a contemporary approach to genre and ‘found art’.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: The Pro-Tools - Misanthro-PC
Ultimately, their grimy aesthetic, grating vocals and bashing of cymbals culminate in something a horny Oscar the Grouch would produce.
