Clairo - Immunity
85

bags is a masterpiece

FKA twigs - MAGDALENE
95

spectacular, and more emotionally driven than anything else she's done

Ruby Haunt - Sugar
90

better than 'blue hour', 'sugar' creates an ethereal atmosphere that makes you feel like a twin peaks character in a 90s small town high school, thinking of your crush and smoking in your car.
but it's a beautifully vivid thing.

Cigarettes After Sex - Cigarettes After Sex
80

i'll take that girlfriend now, thanks...
favs: opera house, k. , flash

Iceage - Beyondless
80

favs: beyondless, catch it, showtime.
have loved them for three/four years and finally got to see these guys at a gig in brighton recently! incredible live performance, and i love this album. it's a new vibe - a slower one, sure - but it's the sort of music that i feel people look like, in a way? it's like, i put on a buttoned shirt, trousers, a belt and a necklace and i'm like 'i look like that iceage album'. anyways, i love this, love this, love this. i think it could be better in some ways ... read more

Porches - The House
60

there's something there, but i just can't reach it. i really love some of these, like country, find me, or now the water, but it's a blur of an album. 'pool' is still my favourite thing from porches.

Baths - Obsidian
90

favs: earth death, no past lives, worsening.
one of my favourite albums of all time. i adore the darkness and depth of this one, and it hits hard; depression, internalised homophobia, isolation, but done extremely well, and explained so it can be felt in the most realistic light.

Troye Sivan - Bloom
85

favs: animal, what a heavenly way to die, my my my!
this album makes me feel extremely proud to be gay, somehow. and that's really important and moving to me. the songs are well-done, some are holy in a way, and i feel happy & at home. trove's not a cringeworthy youtuber-tween-singer to me anymore, because this was something.

Now, Now - Saved
80

i said thank u
fav: window

Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears
90

LANY - Malibu Nights
70
