Was very surprised by the direction this album took but in the best possible way! Fugue Italienne is an incredible orchestral mood setter, very theatrical, taken straight out of a scenic film moment. The rhythms vary from circus-like music in Maialen to the band's typical psychedelia beats in Cha-cha. Overall, would recommend.

Collapsed In Sunbeams is a beautiful, well-rounded debut by Arlo Parks. It's laid-back, catchy melodies and sublime vocals, combined with insightful and clever lyrics flow together really well. Definitely worth a listen.

Whereas Shore feels and sounds more refined and polished than Fleet Foxes' previous records, it still offers the comfort and warmth of their quintessential sound. Overall, an absolute triumph of an album, one of this year's best. It feels like you could listen to it over and over again, a definite staple album of the upcoming winter.
