King Krule - SHHHHHHH!
74

Decent enough B-sides

Alcest - Les Chants de l'Aurore
81

Pretty stunning, some of the tracks here really develop into great pieces!

Snõõper - Split 7"
77

A fun five minutes!

Tom Misch - Cinnamon Curls
75

Misch yet again follows his formula of releasing good, but not great, music. As with pretty much all his music, this is a smooth, easy listen that doesn't actually do much more than that

The Streets - End Of The Queue
43

In the same week that #19 drops, The Streets ruin it with this :(

Someone bar Mike from the recording studio, everything he's creating now is just a painful listen. There is none of what made the first few albums so amazing to be found here, just some incoherent ramblings. Don't bother with this, or probably with the inevitable incoming album.

Aphex Twin - #19
98

Wow, I actually knew nothing about this coming into it but seeing the reviews I had to check it out - let's just say I fully understand what you all mean now, this is incredible

Mura Masa - We Are Making Out
76

Pretty good, love yeule's vocals here - they completely match the vibe of the song

Bonny Light Horseman - Keep Me On Your Mind/See You Free
75

I absolutely fell in love with the vocals from the get go, and for a genre I'm normally not THAT into, I found myself really quite enjoying the album through the first few songs. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, it does get a bit long and boring after a while which does detract from the overall experience, but generally it was a pleasant listen :)

Arooj Aftab - Night Reign
80

Loved the dark jazz sound that runs throughout this album, although it did feel a little long-winded by the very end

87

Youthful sounding Manics, but this is a really strong album that approaches brutal and dark topics in a masterful way. Definitely worth checking out :)

Liily - Liily
78

Whilst not quite as good as their debut EP for me personally, there's a great energy here and a resulting solid release!

Fontaines D.C. - Favourite
97

Perhaps one the best tracks they've ever released - it's a complete switch from Starburster with this being far more melodic and soft in comparison, but it works incredibly well. Really curious to see how the rest of the album develops given the gulf in similarities between both singles so far though, it could be something special!

IDLES - Spotify Singles
76

I prefer the OG version, but this is a pretty decent cover. Big fan of how they replicated the sound of her voice at times, and generally it all worked pretty well as a variation of Simz' original release.

파란노을 [Parannoul] - Scattersun
76

There's so much that I enjoyed in this album, however it's all let down by the lacklustre vocals. It's a great concept for an album though and I love the ideas behind it, unfortunately I just don't think Fax Gang bring enough to the table

Tems - Born in the Wild
64

An album that despite sounding decent at face value, actually does very little and apart from the J-Cole feature sounds pretty stale and repetitive. Sure if you chuck it on in the background it sounds enjoyable enough, but if you pay any attention to this album you'll find that it all sounds pretty much the same - generic, simple afrobeat with lazy vocals. I was hoping for a lot more.

Alfie Templeman - Radiosoul
74

Some good songs here, but I can't help but think that it would have seriously benefitted from fewer tracks and more time spent refining the tracks that remained, as a fair few songs here feel messy and unnecessary

Swim Deep - There's A Big Star Outside
68

Sweet, a bit of an Elbow feel at times, but generally just a bit bland for the most part

Gonnn - Void: Land of the Forgotten
83

Really solid, love the dark ambience that surrounds the whole album - it absolutely envelopes you as the album progresses. A great listen

2hollis - boy
77

There are some great tracks here, but something about the album as a whole just doesn't click and leads to some underwhelming moments. Worth checking out though
