The Avalanches - Since I Left You
89

An intoxicating landscape of sampling and plunderphonics presents itself, fully realized, in The Avalanches all timer of a debut. It’s absolutely jam packed with detail, and ends up being one of the most engaging and beautiful albums of the 2000’s.

Blonde Redhead - Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons

A discretely unnerving listen with similarly alien vocals, this under rated album is set to haunt my dreams for the foreseeable future (especially with that cover) but lacks the consistency and engagement of an all timer. Still quite a great release for such an under rated band.

Best songs are Oh and The Argument

Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want
87

Daughters create a 50 minute long harrowing sonic landscape straight from the 7th layer of hell. Jarring as it is uncompromising, it’s one of the boldest releases of the 2010’s, with ridiculous guitar tones constantly shrieking over pounding percussion and Alexis Marshall’s manically sung vocals.
In spite of all that’s come from Daughters since its release, You Won’t Get What You Want stands as an opus of industrial and no wave music, an extreme for accessibility ... read more
