Saya Gray  Saya

There's easily enough quality here to earn the good faith acceptance that yes, indeed – as such, I'm as excited for the success Saya Gray has every reason to expect off the back of this record as I am nostalgic for the time she kept us guessing what would happen if she played her full hand Sputnik Music (staff)

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

They are the type of band who might, like they suggest, end up on a billboard. But they’re as intimate as a good friend, who thankfully shares your musical taste, as well Northern Transmissions

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

From the cascading choruses of See In The Dark to the title track's stylish chimes, and in What Do I Know she may have found Deep Sea Diver's key to crossover. Print edition only Mojo

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

There is plenty to unpack with plenty of anthemic moments but also moments of calm that help the epic tracks to soar even more Clash

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

The Seattle band’s fourth album and Sub Pop debut is full of snappy lyrics, impeccable guitar-playing and crisp synthwork in a tight clasp, and the result is indie rock that sounds like it was made with both the confidence of a 22-year-old bursting onto the scene and the wisdom of a veteran player Paste Magazine

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

Deep Sea Diver  Billboard Heart

The tracks showcase some strong songwriting, with each one bringing its own influence (there’s as much Caroline Rose as there is My Bloody Valentine) Under The Radar

Microtonic reminds us that Bdrmm are ever-evolving artists with a desire to keep progressing onwards Far Out

Antony Szmierek  Service Station At The End Of The Universe

They are, unironically, in their own little way, masterpieces Far Out

Antony Szmierek  Service Station At The End Of The Universe

It’s like overhearing a hundred different stories while waiting in line for a mediocre coffee, and realising we’re all chapters in the same grand novel Dork

Andy Bell  Pinball Wanderer

Loads of fun with plenty of wonderfully charming experimentation and interplanetary vibes Spill Magazine

Ichiko Aoba  Luminescent Creatures

Expresses itself in a harrowingly beautiful way that transcends all physical form. Yes – this is possibly Aoba’s best work. Music incomparable to anything else, beautiful and eternal Beats Per Minute

Doves  Constellations For The Lonely

They entice the listener to keep digging through each song, to actively listen for more details that turn this rock record into a psychedelic dream Northern Transmissions

The Murder Capital  Blindness

The Dublin-spawned post-punk quintet’s third long-player picks up precisely where 2023’s Gigi’s Recovery left off, but with a leaner, hungrier edge Record Collector

Antony Szmierek  Service Station At The End Of The Universe

Fundamentally British yet beautifully universal DIY
