Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
74

Whilst an undeniably solid album, I just found that it didn't engage me as much as I hoped it would. It did enough to make me want to return to it again in the future, but I feel a little underwhelmed on the whole.

Snarky Puppy - We Like It Here
89

A damn good album, not much more to say than that.

Lorde - Pure Heroine
83

Finally got around to listening to this album, and I have to admit that it was really enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end. A brilliant debut album that Lorde has built upon since. It weakens a little towards the end, but it is still a strong album and worth checking out if you still haven't done so

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
74

Grief in its rawest form - it makes for an album that showcases how it truly feels to lose those closest to you

Michael Kiwanuka - Kiwanuka
84

It's a really good album, well worth a listen

Origami Angel - Somewhere City
59

This album just didn't do it for me, a couple of the songs were pretty decent but as an overall album I was left underwhelmed and honestly disappointed

백예린 [Yerin Baek] - Every letter i sent you.
79

A pretty solid album from beginning to end, enjoyed my experience listening to it ☺️

Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising
85

Majestic and beautiful, an absorbing album that is truly enchanting. Let it take you on a journey.

Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
81

Whilst still an incredibly solid album, I feel I may have come into this album with my expectations a little too high. There is not a bad track to be found here, and some tracks such as Kyoto are absolutely incredible - but I found that as a whole the album did not blow me away, and I can't pinpoint exactly why that is. It is still worth checking out if you haven't already, and I'll be returning to Punisher in the future for sure - perhaps my opinion will change without the high expectations I ... read more

Nilüfer Yanya - PAINLESS
77

Beautiful from beginning to end. 'Company' was a bit weaker than the rest, but the rest of the album is incredibly solid with captivating vocals (although a bit hard to understand at times). A strong showing from Nilufer Yanya here.

Terno Rei - Gêmeos
76

I can't speak for the lyrics (for obvious reasons) but musically this was a pretty enjoyable album, and one that I will likely be returning to in the future. :)

Kings of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street
80

A soft, calming experience with occasional bursts of energy dotted throughout. Really enjoyable

파란노을 [Parannoul] - White Ceiling / Black Dots Wandering Around
77

It's good - the White Ceiling demo is brilliant in all fairness. But this EP is not a high 90s scoring EP at all.

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
83

I'll admit that this type of music isn't normally my thing, but I quite enjoyed my first time with Big Thief. This album did lose me a bit through the middle section around tracks 10-16 which is why it loses marks - it sounded brilliant but a bit repetitive and uninteresting even when the sound changes (Wake Me Up to Drive). I was dragged right back in by Simulation Swarm, a track that is outstanding from beginning to end though, and enjoyed the closing third of the album.

Whilst I do think ... read more

Obongjayar - Which Way Is Forward?
75

Came here from his feature on SIMBI, and have to say that this was a pretty enjoyable EP. Obongjayar's voice is captivating and the beats are interesting and entertaining. Looking forward to his future work.

Peach Pit - From 2 to 3
75

The biggest strength of this album is also arguably its biggest downfall - consistency. There are no songs that stand out as being 'weak' on this album, and a couple stand out as stronger (Up Granville took the top spot for me). However, the consistency of the tracks leads to them all blending into one continuous blur with no noticeable difference between multiple tracks. Does it sound good? Absolutely - as others have mentioned here it is a smooth, calming sound that will absorb you, but it ... read more

Tom MacDonald - Us Against The World

Just doing my part to keep this pile of shit where it belongs

Blaenavon - That's Your Lot
92

I adore this album - every single track is enjoyable although inevitably some are stronger than others. I find 1-5 to be a beautiful run of tracks that encapsulate you with their pessimistic tone and catchy vocals. The following songs until Prague 99 are still solid but perhaps not as memorable as the first 5 tracks, but they tie the album together nicely before Prague 99 brings a bit more catchiness back into the fold. The album closes off pretty strongly after that too.

Swim Deep - Where the Heaven Are We
66

Nice enough, nothing special but decently enjoyable. Favourite tracks are 'Honey' and also the bonus remix of 'King City' that is included online.
