  1. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Oddball yet elegant indie-folk. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This album ought to see Kate Stables recognised as one of the most compelling voices in alt-folk

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

  4. 8.0 |   The 405

    This album is about the layers that play out in a minimalist way. Each brush stroke, each note, is purposeful. This album doesn't scream "listen to me", it gently draws you in

  5. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Emotion is shown rather than told, but once the layers have been unpicked, it’s obviously special. Print edition only
