  1. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    It's a breath of fresh Air, filtered through the boho streets of Brooklyn.

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    You can slice up its track-by-track constitution - a gently sung, interesting turn of phrase here, an evocative chord progression here - but it is a beautiful, haunting creature as a whole, and a poignant testament to the power of simplicity.

  3. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Discreet sonic charms abound on their third album, on which they are as quietly, oddly stylish as ever... An unassuming delight.

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    There is a lot to take in here but certainly a lot of fun to be had in the process as well

  5. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    The songs move with lathed elegance from skeletal to bursting and back again. The clichés arrive at a breathtaking clip, imbued not with the melodrama of pop theater, but the earnest intimacy of a friend murmuring in your ear.

  6. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Although the lo-fi arrangements are perhaps the most noticeable facet throughout this record (and indeed their entire back catalogue), let's not underestimate the idyllic vocal harmonies of the trio themselves

  7. 6.0 |   The Sunday Times

    Accused of being no more than photogenic cutouts, cooing listlessly about love from behind their vintage synths, the NY trio reward much deeper investigation

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
