Album Review: Beaches - She Beats
The surf-rock feel Beaches have created is infectious and really draws you in. It’s all too easy to get lost in the psychedelic, dreamy ambience She Beats creates.

Album Review: Super Wild Horses - Crosswords
It makes for a refreshing break from all the over-produced electronica that seems to be dominating the airways of late.

Album Review: Gold Fields - Black Sun
The lyrics are simplistic and at times, a little repetitive, yet they avoid crossing the perilous line from catchy to mundane.

Album Review: Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse
Wondrous Bughouse is an interesting listen, becoming more so once the inspiration behind it is understood. It is an unnerving insight into the darker side of the human mind.
