Lola Young  I'm Only F**king Myself

On her third studio album, the Beckenham singer-songwriter proves that there’s far more to her repertoire than ‘Messy’ NME

Lola Young  I'm Only F**king Myself

From urging for one-night stands, before quickly U-turning, and then wanting to forget the world, I’m Only F**king Myself is a rich, expansive offering – and she’s not letting anyone sabotage that for her The Line Of Best Fit

Lola Young  I'm Only F**king Myself

Written in the wake of her viral hit “Messy,” the British singer-songwriter’s third album centers her powerful voice and chatty, unvarnished style Pitchfork

Lola Young  I'm Only F**king Myself

Lola Young  I'm Only F**king Myself

Brash and feisty, but not without reason, I’m Only F**king Myself sees Lola Young more earnest and raw than ever Northern Transmissions

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

Where does that highway go to? In the case of David Byrne, now 73 and a revered solo artist and professional aesthete 35 years after Talking Heads split, it’s led to a probably ineradicable status as one of rock’s key figures Record Collector

Wednesday  Bleeds

Bruised and transcendent, Bleeds is a fire — hypnotic, ephemeral and destructive. It drips with acrimony and understanding, of strain and elation; like ripping off a bandaid to reveal a scar, healed but permanent Exclaim

The Divine Comedy  Rainy Sunday Afternoon

Not an album for those who only love the frivolous side of TDC, there’s no pure pop bangers a la ‘National Express’ here, in fact taking the subject matters out of context, it can seem like it could be hard work to get through. Alzheimer’s, love related angst, lost childhood Christmases and Donald Trump, and that’s just for starters God Is In The TV

Maruja  Pain To Power

Mesmerizing but somewhat disjointed, the Manchester group’s debut album boomerangs between hardcore, hip-hop, free jazz, and alt-rock balladry while rebuking oppressive power structures Pitchfork

Biffy Clyro  Futique

An altogether more uplifting affair DIY

Die Spitz  Something To Consume

A fierce, fearless debut DIY

Die Spitz  Something To Consume

A brilliant debut, ambitious in the best of ways. The Austin outfit possess an unrivaled passion that is genuinely exciting, leaving their listeners eager for more Clash

Die Spitz  Something To Consume

The takeaway is that playing it safe will never be an option for Die Spitz, who have set the exciting precedent for a sound that will remain on its toes Kerrang!

Die Spitz  Something To Consume

Die Spitz operate as a collective, trading off instruments and swapping both songwriting and vocal duties God Is In The TV

Die Spitz  Something To Consume

The band swaps instruments and vocals across the album, but their shared restlessness ties it all together. There’s metal, punk, shoegaze, sludge, and bits of doom stitched throughout Northern Transmissions
