Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
80

Feels like a country album Nirvana would cover.

Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors
90

Some of the best story telling you’ll hear in music.

The Chicks - Fly
90

Revved up country at its finest.

The Casual Dots - Sanguine Truth
80

Great, easy-going musicianship turned into pretty storytelling.

Anteloper - Pink Dolphins
80

Fun, explorative progression throughout the album. Colour of the album cover match the rich layers of sound that come from the tracklist.

SAULT - Nine
80

FIRST LISTEN: A soulful, wide perspective on life in London.

Kojaque - Town’s Dead
90

FIRST LISTEN: What a mad album. Kojaque’s got that Irish charm in buckets, a live wire with a pretty cadence.

Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
80

FIRST LISTEN: So many moving parts synchronised in beautiful harmony. Tyler showing us the perks of having a vision and doing it all yourself. Respect

Backxwash - I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES
80

FIRST LISTEN: Brutish delivery but Mutina controls it in such a way that her feelings are clearly understood.

Loraine James - Reflection
80

FIRST LISTEN: Such a refreshing take on an established British IDM scene, bringing in bits of modern day drill and glitch pop. Visionary.

hard life - life’s a beach
80

FIRST LISTEN: Whimsical musings on some pretty mature topics, kind of like an English fusion of Lily Allen and Mac Miller.

Trippie Redd & Playboi Carti - Miss The Rage
80

FIRST LISTEN: Exciting melody, raunchy verses - a steady party high.

Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi - They're Calling Me Home
70

FIRST LISTEN: If Brokeback Mountain was remade (hope not, wont ever match the original), this would be an ideal accompaniment.

Dawn Richard - Second Line
60

FIRST LISTEN: There are some nicely textured rhythms scattered about, but the album lacks consistent inspiration and finds itself reverting to unadventurous loops.

Leon Vynehall - Rare, Forever
80

FIRST LISTEN: Like Jamie XX, just not sanded down.

Flying Lotus - Yasuke
80

FIRST LISTEN: One of the best soundtracks of all time. It isn't intrusive, yet becomes a character for the story line within itself.

The Coral - Coral Island
80

FIRST LISTEN: Summer is on its way as The Coral have hit us with some warm nostalgia that brings together the sounds of The Beatles, The Doors, Small Faces, and a much welcomed blast of Britpop.

Royal Blood - Typhoons
70

FIRST LISTEN: Maybe it’s at times repetitive but at the same time it just means the vibe they’re going for is consistent. It’s your staple adrenaline fuelled indie rock banger.

Arooj Aftab - Vulture Prince
80

FIRST LISTEN: You are drowned in a wave of somber neo-sufi, which I'm glad to say I'll be digging into a lot, lot more.
