Alvvays - Blue Rev
The Line of Best Fit
60

Blue Rev is an album that begs to be played live. Whilst as a whole the album still sounds very Alvvays, there’s a definite lack of cohesion and a punchy feel missing on the group’s third album. Blue Rev is a slightly disappointing return from such a brilliant indie band.

Julia Jacklin - PRE PLEASURE
The Line of Best Fit
70

It’s not hard to tumble into Jacklin’s silky vocals and vivid lyricism and overlook just how clever and masterful her songwriting is. PRE PLEASURE is truly a testament to Julia Jacklin’s ability to adapt and grow as a songwriter.

Flume’s newest album is a mixed bag, with a number of brilliant tracks interspersed with some forgettable moments in between.
Mitski - Laurel Hell
The Line of Best Fit

Almost as if to mimic her life in the spotlight, the album consists of many catchy, upbeat songs with heavier lyrics expressing her inner discontent at this heightened success.
Miley Cyrus - Plastic Hearts
The Line of Best Fit

Cyrus has found the perfect balance of pushing her own musical boundaries whilst proving she’s one of the strongest and bravest names in the constant celebrity whirlwind.

Gus Dapperton - Orca
