The Line Of Best Fit
Aldous Harding
Designer
Harding’s voice has the Germanic sincerity of Sibylle Baier combined with the dreamy archness of Broadcast’s Trish Keenan, plus something of Kate Bush’s theatricality
Evening Standard
The Cranberries
In the End
Nothing here sounds like a demo or barrel-scraping. Summer Song in particular is a powerful, beautiful anthem that stands tall in a too-small catalogue
Evening Standard
Pink
Hurts 2B Human
Pink can afford to take risks: when she does, there’s plenty to enjoy. It’s just a shame there’s still a little too much safety
Evening Standard
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Fishing For Fishes
Even after a five album recording spree two years ago, King Gizzard doesn't phone it in on their latest
Earbuddy
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Fishing For Fishes
While Stu McKenzie and his band revel in vintage blues instrumentation, songs swing somewhere between a romanticised past and an unsettled future
Loud And Quiet
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Fishing For Fishes
The idiosyncratic Australian band’s most streamlined album to date is risky only in that it is their first to be downright boring
Pitchfork
Foxygen
Seeing Other People
From all the acid rock glory of their breakout album We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors, Seeing Other People does more than put a damp cloth to the flame
Loud And Quiet
Foxygen
Seeing Other People
Never quite persuades you if it's sincerely bitter or a knowing facsimile of an early '80s break-up album. Print edition only
Uncut
Foxygen
Seeing Other People
Though France warded off rumors of a band breakup prior to the album's release, it's clear that Foxygen is moving on from the past in dramatic fashion with an album that's part formal complaint and part kiss-off
All Music
Foxygen
Seeing Other People
A complete journey through the emotions of a breakup, and the endings that we have to battle through in life
