Whilst not as good as their debut, "Moisturizer" is a great continuation for Wet Leg. It feels a little different in tone as what is still a relatively new band still find their niche on the world indie rock stage. I'd love to hear them explore the darker sounds of tracks like "Pillow Talk", as this was a true highlight for me, especially with Dan Carey's exceptional production.

"Be Sweet" is one of my favourite indie pop songs of all time.

Everything else is pretty great as well, though.

It might be short in length, but "Beloved! Paradise! Jazz?!" makes up for that in bundles with the scale of the music, the beauty of it's production and Dixon's amazing flow and lyricism.

Beautiful single. Definitely has a sound that's more reminiscent of Winter's solo work on "Heavy Metal", but with Geese's rock backing.

Beach Bunny’s third LP is an upbeat and explosive indie rock record that’s as loud and vibrant as its album cover. It might be short and sweet at just under 30 minutes, but every moment is packed with catchy, to-the-point tracks. The emo-pop undertones throughout carry a vibe that’s reminiscent of 2010s Paramore, at least to my ears.

Altogether, it’s a punchy and memorable listen that fans of upbeat indie rock and power pop should definitely give a go. It's just a ... read more

Easily one of the greatest pop rock albums of all time. Beautiful vocals, amazing (if definitely of its time) production, beautiful lyrical content. It's just utterly breathtaking.

Honestly, a really enjoyable album from Djo. Sure, it’s not the most complex or groundbreaking release, but there’s something genuinely endearing about how upbeat and driven it is. The indie pop and pop rock vibe was something I properly vibed with, and the overall performance is solid—especially those soaring vocals, which are superb. The production’s fantastic throughout.

There are a couple of tracks towards the end that come off a bit mediocre in comparison, but ... read more

An enjoyable take on 90s/00s era indie rock, shoegaze, and grunge. It can sometimes feel a little derivative, but even with that said, there's plenty of material that stands out enough to make this a really great throwback album.

It's fair to say that the singles are the real standouts on The Mama's and the Papa's debut album, but that doesn't mean there aren't some real gems smattered throughout. It's and LP that your Grandparents probably loved.

Funky funky. Reminds me somewhat of the sort of pop that would be more popular later in the 80s.

A tale of two halves. The first half is completely fine. Some tracks are even pretty okay. The last half is some of the worst electropop I have heard in my life.

A very beautiful EP with some very artsy indie rock and bedroom pop vibes. First time I've ever listened to anything from Nilüfer Yanya, so I may have to go back and listen to more if it's more of this quality.

boygenius' debut EP is really beautiful, combining indie rock, folk, and singer-songwriter styles into a neatly presented package that’s well-produced and versatile. You can clearly hear each member’s contributions, yet it still feels deeply personal.

Yep, now I understand why this album is so well regarded. It’s incredible to think that this soul record was released in 1970. "Curtis" lays the foundation for the sound of soul across the following decade. Of course, tracks like "Move on Up" were familiar to me long before hearing this album in full, but there is so much more to enjoy and appreciate here.

It’s clearly a personal album for Mayfield, addressing issues that people of colour faced daily in 1960s ... read more

Really beautiful, retro-sounding soul. I’ve only heard Durand Jones’s solo material, so it was refreshing to hear him and the band in a more collaborative setting. I really enjoyed Aaron Frazer’s vocals too; they reminded me a little of Sade, to be honest. The songs are relaxed and genuinely pleasant. My only real complaint is the tape overdrive on the bass drum, which sounds slightly overpowering.

Dreamy, psychedelic, poppy. Fucking beautiful.

You can really tell there was a big gap between the release of "Ta-Dah" and "Night Life", as there’s a distinct shift in Scissor Sisters’ sound. This album leans far more into synths and electro, rather than the then-modern take on disco that defined their earlier work. For the most part, it’s an engaging and interesting change in dynamic, but I can’t help but miss that earlier sound in a few tracks that feel a little safe. I found myself reimagining ... read more

So stupid it's hilarious. Fucking brilliant.

A really fun mixture of electropop and Neoperreo. You’d be hard-pressed to find a bad track on here; it’s catchy and well-produced throughout. While a couple of tracks do feel a little simplistic, I still found the entire album a good time, even if it isn't what I usually listen to.

Christinzio’s seventh offering is a little softer in tone than the previous two albums I’ve heard from him, and it might even be a little more contemporary — but I still really enjoyed it. It’s his signature style of psychedelic pop with a touch more restraint, though it’s still not afraid to go big when it needs to.
