  1. 8.4 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    To all intents and purposes, this is a gesture of a band that has outgrown itself, a CDR tossed away at the end of a gig. It’s testament to the band’s integrity and power, and to the indestructibility of these raw, potent songs that they’ve to all intents and purposes, managed to get away with it

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This stripped-down and intimate setting allows the well-crafted, lyrically complex and emotionally at times pretty raw songs to shine through.

  3. 8.0 |   The List

    These predominantly acoustic renditions – which were all recorded at Glasgow’s Captain’s Rest – serve to further asservate the dulcit aggressors’ rampant charms.

  4. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    For fans of the band this is essential, for those intrigued by the hype you could have a worse introduction, but those who don’t get it, I don’t think this will change your mind but remember this; god damn, it is a truly great record

  5. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    Songs are textured and layered beautifully with a lot going on, but nothing sounds forced or overworked – just thoughtfully worked through and left just at the right moment

  6. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    For those who missed Frightened Rabbit's last record, those who weren't already enthralled by these tuneful Scots, this album will really come alive. After all, for those listeners, these 12 tracks are new and, therefore, essential

  7. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    It’s recorded intelligently, relatively sparsely and effectively. The essence of all of the songs remains intact and the band is spot on in their recreations of their best tunes.

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
