Jon Batiste - Beethoven Blues
70

It's ok, but I think I was expecting more from Batiste here as it feels a bit off. Also, the little whoops that are scattered throughout the album distract more than anything, and in truth are annoying rather than beneficial

Jadu Heart - U
81

It's a switch up for sure, but a promising one. Excited to see how they develop this further

Fat Dog - Peace Song
82

Damn, peace kinda bops

84

Pretty devastating - a completely different album from the previous release this year, but one that is equally as captivating. It's dark, angry, and utterly enthralling!

Yves - I Did
77

Pleasant, but not overly impressive - just a decent enough EP that doesn't do too much to stand out from the crowd

FLO - Access All Areas
73

Fell quite flat for me, quite generic and lacked any real spark

Denzel Curry - KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH
82

Those of you who follow me will know that this genre of music is one that never fully lands for me - it's a genre that I appreciate fully, but rarely find myself enjoying all that much, and it's a repeat case with this latest Denzel album. There are a load of interesting, well created concepts here and several tracks that I can fully understand their high rating - it's just that for me personally I struggle to find the enjoyment that others do from the genre. Overall a solid ... read more

half•alive - Persona
82

Really enjoyable return to form for half·alive!

Poppy - Negative Spaces
80

It's pretty good, but it just feels lacking in areas that mean it doesn't quite punch as hard as I hoped it would. There are some great ideas here, but it doesn't all land for me.

Jack White - You Got Me Searching
86

It's as good as the previous album, which should tell you plenty

青葉市子 [Ichiko Aoba] - Luciférine
90

I don't think I've ever been so softly blown away

Bleachers - Merry Christmas, Please Don't Call
85

I'm thinking he maybe didn't have a merry Christmas

MÒN - Zama
83

Man, this album could have been absolutely incredible with some better production and a slightly better thought out run of tracks! So much here is stellar, but let down by underwhelming production and some quite jerky moves between tracks. It's definitely got a darker tone than their following album, but certainly has that Mòn sound that I love. Amazing work, just wish it was cooked for longer!

kuru - re:wired
76

Some potential on show here, but generally it's mostly decent with a few underwhelming tracks. A fun listen but one I likely won't remember for long

Better Lovers - Highly Irresponsible
68

Pretty average - enjoyable but nothing special

Polaris - Home
86

Utterly gorgeous, this album certainly matches its title given it's packed full of a warm, homely sound. The bass is amazing and so much of this album is completely mesmerising. A brilliant listen! :)

Fionn Regan - O AVALANCHE
83

A short burst of beautiful music - well worth a listen!

Peter Perrett - The Cleansing
59

It's ok, but my god it gets SO BORING - it's like listening to your uncle ramble on endlessly and you can't get away from him. It ruins what could have been a relatively decent album!
