Angine de Poitrine - Vol.1
87

Vol.II still clears but this is undoubtedly superb. Canada should take the maple leaf off their flag and put these guys on there instead

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
95

Shame this guy is an absolute wrongun because damn did this cat cook.
Some of the most emotive songwriting I’ve ever had the good grace of hearing. Duk Koo Kim has one of the most insane beat drops in the entire indie folk scene

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
91

Yeah yeah. I get it. I was wrong. This record might actually be a masterpiece, this such a fun and quirky use of instruments, and Byrne’s vocals are extremely compelling. Quintessential in the new wave scene

83

I’m loving the direction modern music is taking regarding exploring new sub-genres and incorporating different cultures into projects like these. It’s so refreshing and adds such depth and diversity to the scene

Angine de Poitrine - Vol.II
89

FUCKKKK I love math rock. These guys funk the shit out of me and I need more. Very high hopes for their future.

TTNG - This Town Needs Guns
87

Not a dull moment, got me reconsidering my stance on firearm regulation

underscores - U
77

A really fun listen, just felt a little bit thin in places. Trans EDM artists always be cooking up some heat

Iceage - Plowing Into the Field of Love
78

While this record sounds pretty insane instrumentally, I actually don't think I can get behind Mr Ronnenfelt's vocals. They sound a little too strained and I'm not entirely convinced they work for this album

Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
62

I am interested by the new direction Harry is taking for his music with this project, it's just a shame it sounds a flat LCD Soundsystem parody album

Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems
82

This is some crazy hard punk, the whole record sounds the exact way it feels to be in a moshpit where white boys are just straight up punching each other

Jim Legxacy - black british music (2025)
80

The variety of genres sampled and mixes made is very refreshing to listen to compared to the often narrow scope of UK Hip-Hop

Black Dresses - Forever In Your Heart
85

Kind of an insane album but definitely some of the most creative production I’ve ever heard and a really interesting mix of genres that make for an incredibly fun listen

Boris - Pink
91

Such a vast mix of genres that blend together so nicely, and at 47 minutes “Pink” makes for a very digestible post-rock album if you don’t want to spend 2 hours listening to a Swans record

Beach House - Teen Dream
86

Oh such a scenic and blissful album. The tracklist blends seamlessly together creating one long, winding, ethereal record perfect for an aesthetic nighttime walk

By Storm - My Ghosts Go Ghost
75

Undeniably a beautifully produced album but the rapping was a little monotonous and there wasn’t much going on that I was especially impressed by

Westside Cowboy - So Much Country 'Till We Get There
76

A very solid indie rock release, would’ve liked to have seen more influence from the alt-country genre but not sure which direction the band will take in the future

Hella - Hold Your Horse Is
88

Zach Hill truly showing his range here, an engaging listen throughout, with the intense and unpredictable drumming being the centre of interest

System of a Down - Toxicity
98

I take back everything I’ve ever said about this album, it is certainly the best metal album of all time. How does one simultaneously write lyrics with such weight and riffs that’s sound so unbelievably hard

Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
86

A way funkier sound than their later stuff but definitely a more unique and interesting listen

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
87

We love a relistening party, still some of the best rock music ever made. Blessed on the ears

On Carly Harrison - Natural Disaster
"Nothing wrong with a song being small and intimate, but if you produce a song where the instrumental is little more than a tapping of a few keys on a piano monotonously for the entire song, it’s going to sound thin, incomplete, and boring. Furthermore when the vocals sound that clunky, and frankly, bad, it’s hard to really get in touch with the message of the lyrics which, upon inspection, seem to be about as unique and thought provoking as every mainstream pop song, with the added bonus of being hard to follow and lacking in any coherent story. The song is a good first effort and I see the vision, but lying to people and saying they have talent just because the truth hurts makes them complacent and is an insult to true art and good music"
On Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
"Hadn’t considered this, definitely something to consider when I give the album a relisten !!"
