  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's certainly one of his most balanced, as playful as it is earnest, and as hook-driven as it is meandering

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Even in its mellower breathes of reflection, exhales an air of urgency

  4. 8.0 |   The Skinny

  5. 8.0 |   The 405

    Compared to Heartbreaking Bravery, My Best Human Face feels looser, more effortless and this makes for a more engaging experience throughout

  8. 7.5 |   Beardfood

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
