  2. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Christ knows what the unsuspecting might make of these at times bloodless exercises in minimalism and captured emotion, not to mention the vaulting cries of Marina Warner. You’d hope they’d be as transfixed as the rest of us

  3. 8.5 |   BBC

    Music that embraces the listener with a silken touch and seduces them with a beguiling beauty that, still, sits prettily beyond the clamour of convenient categorisation

  4. 8.5 |   Bowlegs

    Never outstaying its welcome (no track is above the six minute mark), always unified in its voice. This is Clog’s finest to date

  7. 8.0 |   Subba Cultcha
