HAIM - I quit
90

It's a Haim Summer indeed.

Sam Fender - People Watching
100

Without a doubt his best and most beautiful album.

The Dare - What's Wrong With New York?
75

I kind of feel like I should love this because it would have probably been my favorite album of the year if it had been released in 2008 or something, but it's 2024, and Harrison Patrick Smith is 28 years old, so "What's Wrong With New York?" just feels like an album that arrived at a party that everybody has already grown out of it.

The Black Keys - Ohio Players
100

The best The Black Keys album since "Brothers" and "El Camino".

The Kills - God Games
85

Definitely not The Kills'best album but it's great to see a band last so long and keep reinventing themselves without letting go of their roots, showing they have nothing else to prove except they are just fucking good in whatever they do.

Wallows - Tell Me That It's Over
90

Loved the new Urban Outfitters album... I mean, Wallows.

Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under
85

Not as nostalgic and celebratory as his first record but more introspective, melancholic, and refined. More than that, looking forward to keeping rediscovering it again and again. One of my favorite artists right now.

Jake Bugg - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
60

Just like most of Jake Bugg's albums, it's half pretty good and half generic and forgettable. Plus, pop doesn't seem to suit him, especially when you name your record Saturday Night Sunday Morning, which is a 60s British New Wave film about angry working men. His first record is still the best.

La Femme - Paradigmes
100

La Femme's third record does not only prove they are getting better on each album they drop but they are also stating that there's no one quite like them or doing what they're doing in the music industry today. Brilliant, exciting, fun, and cinematic.

Off Bloom - In Bloom
75

Not bad, but comparing to their outstanding first EPs, this is kind of a letdown.

Kit Sebastian - Mantra Moderne
85

Mix jazz, tropicalia, pop, and psychedelia with a little bit of Czech film soundtracks from the 60s and you have Mantra Moderne.

Lady Gaga - Chromatica
60

It's these types of albums that I like to ask people if they would listen to if it wasn't for Lady Gaga. More consistent than her previous record, Chromatica homages the 80s dance music in unoriginal ways which even though originality was never the intention, it disappoints comparing to her early work. People who love her will love it and people who don't, won't. Not bad but not for me.

Friendly Fires - Inflorescent
85

Half of the tracks are very similar, almost sounding the same, but the other half is amazing. So happy these guys are back <3

Wild Belle - Everybody One of a Kind
90

After two outstanding records, Wild Belle mixes their both releases and makes a third with a lot of energy and references, proving that to make good music isn't necessary to be extremely original. On the contrary, just celebrate what you like.
