Sons of Kemet Black To The Future
Musically and culturally, Sons of Kemet not only holistically conceive of a future, they begin to create one right now All Music
Paul Weller Fat Pop (Volume 1)
Weller may often be adventurous, particularly during the third act inaugurated with 2008's 22 Dreams, yet he rarely seems as loose and playful as he does here, and that sense of mischief is an unexpected and welcome gift All Music
The Black Keys Delta Kream
Laconic and acidly textured, Delta Kream is a perfect balance of the Black Keys' lo-fi swagger and keen ear for the Mississippi blues traditions that inspired it All Music
Delta Kream doesn’t match the highs of fan favorite El Camino, but worry not, because this fits in nicely with the rest of their discography Vinyl Chapters
St. Vincent Daddy's Home
Unapologetically suave and full of excitement Gigwise
Even though it has some misfires, this album is still understatedly fun, driven by a pure zest for blues music that is impossible to shy away from musicOMH
The quartet’s fourth album explores different experiences of black identity, culture and history The FT
These tracks have an eager, zesty feel and explore the creative potential of brevity The FT
The American singer-songwriter draws on experience to deliver an ambitious sixth album The FT
Despite the dark context of the album, Annie Clark sounds the most relaxed she ever has on record Evening Standard
It’s a record about growing up, and playing it straight; a more open, rounded experience than we’ve come to expect from St. Vincent, it’s a brave, fascinating record Clash
As Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney breezily enter their second decade together, they pay tribute to and put their own spin on the Mississippi blues, turning it into something that sounds supple and comforting Pitchfork
For those listeners who come to this record having never really gotten on with St. Vincent’s music in the past, there would seem to be more approachable material here Under The Radar
London Grammar Californian Soil
It’s a sumptuous album, imbued with lush ethereal beauty and one in which Reid has clearly poured her emotions into Under The Radar
Each track sounds modern and distinct, with shape, space and edge The Arts Desk
