Pulled Apart By Horses - Blood
With Blood, they’ve made their “divisive record.” Ambition is a good thing. Wishing to escape your limited punk rock cage is a very good thing.»
Owl John - Owl John
There's so much heart to this record that it simply demands to be absorbed.»
The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters (Record Store Day edition)
One of the truly exceptional debut albums of the twenty-first-century.»
Brace/Choir - Turning on Your Double
Turning on Your Double simply will not acquiesce to an indifferent listener.»
Broken Bells - After the Disco
The back end of the album is too good for the first half. That's the problem.»
Gene - Album reissues
A body of work every bit as worthwhile as anything released in the Nineties.»
Bright Eyes - A Christmas Album
The most remarkable thing about A Christmas Album is the respect with which it's been put together.»
Lanterns on the Lake - Until the Colours Run
Not only have Lanterns on the Lake made a better record than their debut, they’ve made one of the best records of the young decade.»
Okkervil River - The Silver Gymnasium
No two Okkervil River albums actually sound the same.»
Chvrches - The Bones of what You Believe
Despite all the shadows encroaching on the tracks, The Bones of what You Believe doesn’t have to be analysed and dissected to be enjoyed.»
Volcano Choir - Repave
There's no denying that Broken Social Scene have been doing this sort of thing for much longer and with more success.»
Raffertie - Sleep of Reason
Sleep Of Reason is darker, deeper and more daring than either Coexist or Overgrown and more emotional and soulful than The xx or James Blake. Ninja Tune won't release a better record this year.»
Snow Ghosts - A Small Murmuration
The fact that this review is reduced to criticising the artist's confusion of tense shows just how good this record is. »
