  1. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Space City Kicks isn't cavernous in depth, it's not overtly brave, and it's not a turning point toward new horizons for Mr. Pollard. It’s not like it needs to be: Robert Pollard is revered in indie circles

  2. 7.0 |   Spin

    A hodgepodge of brilliant guitar pop and annoying, unfinished throwaways

  3. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    At times, Space City Kicks is raucous, borderline rude; at others, it's quite lovely and ornate, the most sonically lush Pollard release in some time

  4. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Spat out with the brevity and wry ferocity of the first Wire album. Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   Mojo

    This is definitely business as usual for our high-kicking captain. Print edition only

  6. Back to main chart

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions
