Album Review: Grizzly Bear - Shields
Whilst Veckatimest was full of initial standout tracks, Shields is more about the journey than reaching those highlights quickly and clearly.

Album Review: Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra - Theatre Is Evil
The genius thing about this album, and indeed Palmer herself, is that there doesn’t seem to be any genre that is out of bounds, the end result being a new, nameless genre unto itself. It’s an intense ride, and a lot of fun.

Hunting Grounds should be commended for such an impressive debut.

Album Review: Expatriate - Hyper/Hearts
There are definitely some great tracks on the album, which the boys should be proud of, but as an album it just falls a little flat.

Album Review: Weightless - Self-Adjustment
The Adelaide band have stripped back to the basics and created an insightful and brutally honest album.

Album Review: New War - New War
New War have played towards their strengths in this debut, focusing on the elements within their shows that make them so captivating and cleverly transposing them onto each recorded track.

Most songs on Green’s debut are stripped bare, highlighting her extraordinarily rich vocals.

Album Review: Grasscut - Unearth
With all of its wistfulness, Unearth just fails to push past being a pleasing album to listen to.

Album Review: Cosmo Jarvis - Think Bigger
His decision to concentrate on the singer-songwriting format instead of juggling too many music styles does the album great justice.

Album Review: Chris Brown - Fortune
Brown once again delves into clichéd songs about having sex and being sexy.
