    They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch, but after a four year absence, Engineers are the quiet ones you simply must listen to. Three Fact Fader is certainly one of the finest albums of the year

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    ...an album that’s catchier than the debut, even as it’s less obvious... That marks Engineers as probably the best band working in the genre right now. And they’ve still got great harmonies, too

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Talk about defying the odds; Engineers haven't just confounded the critics who'd written them off completely, they've remarkably managed to raise the bar to a whole new level for an entire genre with Third Fact Fader. A triumph over adversity if ever there were one

  4. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    Engineers transcend shoegazing and approach the heights of Spiritualized at their space-rocking best. We need these guys around.

  5. 8.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    This is a proper album: take a deep breath, dive in and become completely immersed. Tunes like Crawl From The Wreckage and Emergency Room are urgent washes of sound, What Pushed Us Together, a euphoric, space-age Beach Boys without a wave in sight

The Beths  Straight Line Was A Lie

They’ve made their most mature, most incisive album yet. Not reinvention. Continuance. The long way round, mapped with clarity Dork

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is the next destination for Dury as an experimental artist; he’s successfully been able to capture something new with his twist on hyperpop. The result is an intriguing effort that catapults him into the future realms of pop Beats Per Minute

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is Baxter Dury’s most hypnotic and groovy record yet, fusing his sardonic wit with club-ready beats. Distinct, contemporary, and utterly Dury, the artist’s ninth album proves he’s far from running out of ideas Northern Transmissions
