  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A well-crafted progression for the Norwegian four-piece

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    It's not perfect but there's enough invention here for that not to matter. Print edition only

  3. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    This album was definitely supposed to be born in the late eighties, early nineties era and because of that is a niche but one I feel glad to have heard

  4. 7.0 |   DIY

    There's something very familiar about these gang vocals, sweeping, irregular dynamics and squalls of barely-restrained feedback

  5. 7.0 |   The 405

    The Megaphonic Thrift is a solid piece of work, concise and an enjoyable listen

  6. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    There are enough bright spots here to suggest that The Megaphonic Thrift, if they continue on this trajectory, could well become more than the sum of their substantial parts

  7. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A cohesive and engaging effort which expands and varies the band’s sound

  8. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The Megaphonic Thrift first came to attention with an EP; it's possible that concentrated form might be their best mode of display

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

Lorde  Virgin

A thrilling comeback that puts Lorde’s trajectory to the stars back on track DIY
