  1. 8.1 |   Pitchfork

    Mark Eitzel’s heaviest album, but it’s also, in a peculiar way, his sweetest

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Comes across brighter and more approachable than its predecessors, making it easier to appreciate the wry humour lurking beneath the dark surface of Eitzel's for the most part superior songs

  3. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Eitzel is on cracking form here, both vocally and lyrically

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    One of our most curious writers, documenting the confusion of the human condition with rare candour

  5. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Crucially, the grain in Eitzel’s voice has shifted from anguish to empathy

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    This is smart, passionate music, as strong musically as it is lyrically, and like so much of Eitzel's work, if it isn't always hopeful, it's full of a humanity that shines out through the darkness

  7. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    In lending a wider scope to Hey Mr Ferryman, Eitzel has allowed himself to open up in a way that doesn’t always come natural to him

  8. 8.0 |   musicOMH

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    An album that creeps up on you slowly, its hooks subtle but, once set, inescapable
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Eitzel’s glass-half-empty attitude, however, grips the songs too tightly: “I’ve become the man that time forgot,” he notes, though it seems a point of pride rather than regret

  11. 5.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    The rich production and arrangement of the songs mostly play it safe, and teeter slightly into “cool dad rock”/NPR territory at times

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
