  9. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Putrifiers II could be the eye in the storm of The Oh Sees' career. A tranquil break in the thunder that reveals patches of sun-beaten 60s and 70s nostalgia before the clouds of noise envelop us again

Allbarone is the next destination for Dury as an experimental artist; he’s successfully been able to capture something new with his twist on hyperpop. The result is an intriguing effort that catapults him into the future realms of pop Beats Per Minute

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is Baxter Dury’s most hypnotic and groovy record yet, fusing his sardonic wit with club-ready beats. Distinct, contemporary, and utterly Dury, the artist’s ninth album proves he’s far from running out of ideas Northern Transmissions
