Ringo Starr  Look Up

Look Up is technically sound, but the focal point fails to deliver on the key aspects that help us lean towards country music. We end up with a shell of a record, missing out on humility and depth. It’s not a terrible album to listen to, but there are much better out there Far Out

Ambient soundscapes dominate US singer-songwriter Hayden Silas Anhedönia’s resolutely avant garde second album The Observer

It's some of their most self-assured-sounding music, but thanks to its naked emotions and eclectic choices, it's also some of their most human-sounding music. All told, it's a respectable - but not too respectable - addition to their body of work All Music

Franz Ferdinand  The Human Fear

The Human Fear ends as an uneven effort of a band pulling in multiple directions Spill Magazine

Ethel Cain  Perverts

A project full of push/pull, enveloping warmth and chafing discomfort. It offers an intimate glimpse into Anhedönia’s artistry and process, while at other points keeping the listener at arm’s length through the use of alienating noise and stark negative space Albumism

Ethel Cain  Perverts

The album, at multiple points, features what I can only describe as sudden and violent sonic jump scares, which, through sudden bursts, suddenly transform even familiar environment into a nightmare Beats Per Minute

Lambrini Girls  Who Let The Dogs Out

They’ve dropped an album of the year contender just 10 days into 2025. Big power move, that Kerrang!

Franz Ferdinand  The Human Fear

The Scottish band’s first album since 2018 expands their sound in a way that suits them Paste Magazine

It's no contemplative home listening affair, more one to play while driving fast or leaping around a room The Arts Desk
