  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Brilliantly considered, but can't be considered brilliant. This is because it lacks any sense of spontaneity; there's a definite feeling that every single note has been pored over to the point of mania

  5. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    ...they aren't breaking formation for unabashed self-aggrandisement, so convincing is their 60s recreation that, like the generation that followed, we hanker for what is to come next

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

On the uncomfortable paths of the 28-year-old’s fourth album, slam-dunk bangers are substituted with reinvention and restraint surrendered through hushed, reflective, and carnal synth-pop vestiges Paste Magazine
