Grizzly Bear
Painted Ruins
For those interested in sonic puzzles that tease rather than tell, Grizzly Bear has delivered another delirious and gorgeous effort

Grizzly Bear
Painted Ruins
Only when you dive in does the beauty reveal itself. Grizzly Bear have never been afraid to expect something of the listener. That’s never been truer than on Painted Ruins
Pretty Much Amazing
Brand New
Science Fiction
Easily the Long Island band's most mature album
The Skinny
The War On Drugs
A Deeper Understanding
It's not as new anymore, but it sure sounds great
Under The Radar
UNKLE
The Road Part 1
Lavelle, as UNKLE, is at the top of his game; The Road, Part 1 is an excellent display of his talent
PopMatters
The War On Drugs

Isn’t a terrible record, but it’s not a fantastic record either, and that’s perhaps the least kind thing that could be said about new material from a band which we’ve come to expect a lot from
Drowned In Sound
Liars

Queens Of The Stone Age
Villains
The kind of album that sits at the back of class openly smoking a cigarette but still manages to ace its exams at the end of the year
Clash
Ghostpoet
Dark Days and Canapes
A fantastically uniformed piece, ‘Dark Days + Canapés’ boasts a rare sense of unity, the aural palette bringing together hugely disparate elements to conjure something of real impact
Clash
Iron & Wine
Beast Epic
His most pleasing work since 2007’s ‘The Shepherd’s Dog’

Oh Sees

Dwyer's crew are oft-cited as the world's most exciting live rock band; they're also making some of its most exciting rock records. Print edition only
