  1. 8.5 |   Prefix

    To put it plainly, Love Will Prevail is weird and dark and smart, picking up on threads from the past that most other songwriters had forgotten about and weaving them into something that sounds like little else today

  3. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Love Will Prevail is a curious exhibition of raw materials churned into mysterious and haunting rock that constantly evades easy labels – and one that’s combination of range and drive will duly reward repeat spins

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

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
