  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    It's all expertly crafted stuff. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    While it would be a shame to let the Mendicants' future impede the progress of any new records by the group's flagship bands, this is a wonderful debut and certainly worthy of a follow-up album

  4. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    This a welcome shot of vitamin D in the cruellest month of the year where summer seems to be an eternity away

  10. 6.0 |   The List

    An old-fashioned songwriter partnership that rests upon the delightful symmetry of their similarly toned but distinctive vocals as much as their way with a lyric and a resonantly expressed emotion

    A highly pleasant listen that radiates an undeniable charm

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
