  2. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    One of the most welcome comebacks of the year and, with so much more undiscovered treasure in the McAloon vault, it's possible that we could be listening to many more of these gems for some years to come.

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Music Is a Princess and Sweet Gospel Music all serve as reminders of why McAloon is regarded as one of the finest songwriters of his generation

  6. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

  8. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    A notable retreat from the jaw-dropping juvenilia that blighted 2001's The Gunman And Other Stories. Nonetheless, anyone anticipating McAloon: The Comeback proper might have a bit of a wait on their hands just yet.

The Beths  Straight Line Was A Lie

They’ve made their most mature, most incisive album yet. Not reinvention. Continuance. The long way round, mapped with clarity Dork

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

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
