-
The mythic American band’s latest album is rather decent for an alt-country throwback, relying on Jeff Tweedy’s songwriting to carry itself. (3.2/5)
-
Falling in line with the faux comfort of lacklustre dream pop records, the concept album feels like a fuzzy chore to lose your breath to. (1.9/5)
-
Simply put, Elliott Smith’s third album optimises indie songwriting to favour emotive, poppy, & sophisticated perfection both lyrically & musically.
-
The absolute pinnacle of British chamber post-rock. (5/5)
-
It’s as elegant as it is soothing in its composition, making for a fine addition to the Mexican folk canon. (4/5)
-
Amidst its downtempo production & monotonic vocal performance lies some enquiries into the feelings & wonders of being alive. (3.6/5)
-
A collaborative effort between a beloved singer-songwriter & an unknown artist proves to be tantalising both in its words & its notes. (3.8/5)
-
Kristin Hayter’s liturgical knowledge is put at the front with her neoclassical grimace, birthing an unforgettable work of potency. (4.5/5)
-
Spellbinding. The mix of emotional lyricism, bewitching instrumentation and a delicate intertwining between folk and rock have helped to establish what might’ve been the most overlooked album of 2021 so far. (4.5/5)
-
Between the chaotic bellows of jazz, post-punk and even klezmer influences, singer-guitarist Isaac Wood’s baritone singing and despairing narrative lyrics, the seven-piece band’s debut is a borderline-instant knockout in Britain’s third post-punk wave. (4.8/5)
