Kali Uchis
Sincerely
The Colombian-American star’s first all-English album builds its own dreamy sanctuary full of deep affection and safe from the chaos of the wider world
NME
Kali Uchis
Sincerely
Uchis’ latest expresses sentiments that, if not strictly ecclesiastical, certainly come off as spiritual. Love isn’t simply something people feel. It’s something that happens to them, that shapes them, gives them definition, and maybe even has the power to redeem them or the world around them

PinkPantheress
Fancy That
The fizzy Gen Z producer has big pop ambitions, but her over-reliance on samples results in a record that struggles to be more than the sum of its parts

GOLLIWOG
Full of horror and self-described Afro-pessimism, GOLLIWOG is frequently grim. And yet, it's not a difficult listen, since woods is simply too clever of a writer for him not to tickle my sense of humour

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke
Tall Tales
A pandemic collaboration between an eclectic producer and an avant-rock singer lacks punch

GOLLIWOG

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke

GOLLIWOG
Golliwog may be filled with allusions to the cannon of Black horror but its setting is the real world, a horror story created by our own loud silences. That’s about as scary as it gets

Mclusky
The World Is Still Here and So Are We
They were a band, then weren’t, then are again. Thank whatever chaotic deity made that possible, because the world might still be here, but it sounds a hell of a lot better with mclusky back in it, you just crave so much more

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke
Tall Tales
The highly acclaimed British creatives unite for a cohesive, atmospheric record that is by turns moody, enveloping, and surreal
musicOMH
Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke
Tall Tales
Despite its piecemeal half-decade gestation, Tall Tales is a coherent, if often cryptic joint effort

Arcade Fire
Pink Elephant
Pink Elephant feels like an album Arcade Fire "had to" make, one that addresses a very public period of the band's history without getting too deep (or deep enough at all) into the matter, like they just want everyone to forget about it and move on to the inevitable next album cycle
