The album does what it says on the can! There are a good amount of psychedelic sounds here, such as the rippling sound effects that pop up every now and then. Lead singer Roky Erickson often addresses ‘you’ throughout the album, whether he’s addressing the stressful situations through your head in “Reverberation” or telling you not to take your lover for granted in “Don’t Fall Down”. There’s even a blues rock cut in “Fire ... read more
Another Gizz album this year already? Okay!
For this project, King Gizzard lean towards the calmer side of their sound and add some synths to go with it, as well as the occasional flute mellotron to emphasise the psychedelic vibe. This isn't the first time the band has use synths, they previously used the instrument on "Cyboogie" from Fishing For Fishies. The lyrical concept seems to look at metamorphoses and Stu Mackenzie wanting to become a butterfly, hence the album title Butterfly ... read more

Sons Of Kemet are back with an album full of jazz power, most of which is carried by the saxophone and the tuba. There are more vocals on this than on their last album, but they all do well on this, with the highlights coming from Kojey Radical, D Double E and Joshua Idehen, the latter of whom delivers a gripping sentiment on the closing track "Black".

This didn’t grip me as much as his last few albums, but the album does begin to pick up in the second half. I like the elements of soul and gospel on songs like “Testify” and “That Pleasure”, the former making use of a flute that reminds me a bit of Jethro Tull and the latter seeing Weller encourage the listener to get involved in change for the better and to move on from any prejudice and bias.

My first time listening to a Twenty One Pilots album and I've got to say, this was quite the sublime listening experience. Their music seems to tackle mental health, isolation and conformity, and this is evident on songs like "Choker" and "The Outside".
