St Vincent returns in 2021 with Daddy's Home, a shift away from her futuristic pop style for a more 70's oriented art rock / psychedelic soul record which is another fine addition to her discography and shows how able she is to reinvented her sound and branch out. Although, the singles are the highest points of the album, the record never truly gets boring and still contains more great songs such as Somebody Like Me, but often gets bogged down with some unnecessary interludes but for me it ... read more
I Would Set Myself on Fire for You, 2nd and last studio album, Believes in Patterns, is a solid Screamo / Post-Hardcore record tying in elements of post-rock and chamber music allowing itself to have some form of identity within the genre and although this blend makes for an interesting listen it sometimes doesn't quite hit the nail on the head with me like tracks like Let the Jazz Band In feeling quite out of placed and that is my main problem with this record it lacks focus, that thrilling ... read more
Many people first ever album was simply As Daylight Dies, namely due to how big the lead single My Curse is and with the album having some strong track to back that single up such as Break the Silence and This Is Absolution, the record still holds up for me as quite a strong melodic metalcore album with some beautiful moments of aggressive vocals by Howard Jones which offers a nice balance of melodic and heavy whilst dishing out some nice introspective lyrics for a well round experience which ... read more
Quite a hidden gem from the 2000's art dream pop era and it's a shame it doesn't get as much recognition baring only the closing track, Enter One, being somewhat well known. The Bells of 1 2 is a warm melodic listen which is ultimately 49 minutes of soothing gentleness alongside some amazing vocals and passionate lyrics makes it truly stand out.

Ultimately, a step down from Rubber Factory, with the record losing so much steam by the time the last 2 songs are on, I have ultimately lose interest in the record but with a strong start with some great songs namely Your Touch and Give Your Heart Away keep this record from becoming stale.
