    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    The more ostentatious rock moves have been dialed back. Print edition only

    A limited-range but densely textured mix
    Read Review

  4. 7.4 |   Beats Per Minute

    If you’re craving some totally far out faded righteous tunes with killer hooks that’ll possess your soul — and I know some of you are — look no further than Black Bananas
