A$AP Rocky Don't Be Dumb
Don’t Be Dumb is by no means a bad album, but it falls short of its fullest potential despite being quite a solid listening experience for the most part Earmilk
The Soft Pink Truth Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever?
As far removed from a house music album as you could imagine. The electronics are still there, but they’ve been woven subtly into an experience whose compositions blend modernity with cinematic gestures that stretch back decades into the pre-color past Spectrum Culture
As a listening experience in one sweep, the album fascinates and lulls the listener in equal measure. Moments across the near 40 minute runtime pique your attention and are dazzling in a peculiar way Beats Per Minute
Drew Daniel’s latest album takes its cues from the concert hall, incorporating strings, horns, and symphonic percussion, and travels down non-linear, temporal paths Paste Magazine
Daniel's sumptuous offering provides some brightness in days of darkness. Print edition only Uncut
It’s the sound of joyous, playful experimentation squatting the rarefied worlds of chamber ensembles and concert halls The Quietus
Robbie Williams Britpop
Williams reflects on his life and himself, but rarely takes a step away to fully elaborate on the the UK and its politics Beats Per Minute
The Molotovs Wasted On Youth
It’s tempting to focus on their age – and maybe you shouldn’t – but for such young heads, The Molotovs already sound like rugged, seasoned professionals. And judging by this debut, today really might just be their day Kerrang!
Joyce Manor I Used to Go to This Bar
Though today Joyce Manor has a very small class of peers. I Used To Go To This Bar shows Joyce Manor continuing to push the boundaries of their sound Northern Transmissions
With occasional pop detours, the Barry Johnson-led band from Torrance continues its everlasting journey to punk maturity Paste Magazine
Tyler Ballgame For The First Time, Again
On For The First Time, Again, Tyler Ballgame tells us he can only sing how he feels. Perhaps, when faced with such wholesome beauty, we’d do best to drop our guards and simply feel what he sings? No Ripcord
Tyler Ballgame has built a self-contained universe right out the bat – with the warm, organic production allowing his songs to reach their full potential, ‘For The First Time, Again’ deserves to be a slow-burn success Clash
Kula Shaker Wormslayer
This is a thoughtful, confident record from a band still following its own instincts — and doing so with conviction rather than nostalgia XS Noize
It’s an album that will mesmerise both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Each track unfolds like its own universe, bursting with vibrant colour, cosmic storytelling, and hypnotic energy Clash
A return to the band’s heyday of indie guitar rock, heavily influenced by psychedelia and eastern mysticism musicOMH
