  4. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    More than a worthy addition to the story of a band who leave behind one of the - if not the - richest catalogues in sunny-side-down American songwriting

  5. 8.0 |   The FT

    Emphatic roots-rock and Vlautin’s weathered voice make the songs sound at once muscular and melancholy: a good note on which to bow out

  6. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    A fitting way to bow out

  7. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Willy Vlautin and the rest of Richmond Fontaine should find some comfort knowing that at least they’ve given a good amount of themselves

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
