Babymorocco - SXC
86

SXC is super fun and criminally overlooked.

binki - ANTENNAE
65

ANTENNAE has its moments but MOTOR FUNCTION is easily Binki’s superior EP.

Sampha - Lahai
83

Sampha uses his angelic vocals and excellently articulated feelings over beautifully sparse instrumentals to create a lovely record with a deep sense of emotional maturity in Lahai.

ill peach - THIS IS NOT AN EXIT
50

THIS IS NOT AN EXIT does alt-pop… okay I guess, but it also offers nothing new or exciting to the genre.

Rizzle Kicks - Down With The Trumpets
76

get up come on get down with the trumpets
you mother get up come on get down with the trumpets
you fucker get up come on get down with the trumpets
madness is the gift that has been given to me

FAKE TYPE. - FAKE SWING 2
2

If you like tacky synthetic horns, unbearable raps and DEMONDICE features, then FAKE SWING 2 might be your jam. Everyone else, stay far away.

Yard Act - Petroleum
74

While not bad, Petroleum feels slightly disjoined and a little less cohesive compared to the incredible Dream Job.

Updated: this rocks actually

Lil Pump - Be Like Me
72

Be With Me is so silly and so (intentionally) airheaded it ends up being really really fun.

Lil Xan - Used To
65

Used To is shockingly, amazingly, unexpectedly, surprisingly, stunningly, astoundingly, astonishingly, strikingly, spectacularly alright.

Animal Collective - Isn't It Now?
49

Maybe there’s something I’m missing but to me Isn’t It Now? just sounds really flavourless and drawn out.

Amnesia Scanner - AS Tearless
90

The only lowlight of AS Tearless is literally how terrifying the cover is.

Hot Chip - Straight to the Morning
91

Straight To The Morning is a hell of a good time, plain and simple!

Luke Black - Samo mi se spava
81

Not what I’d expect from a Eurovision song but very good. I’m not into the lyrics but the production is trippy and abrasive and I absolutely love it.

Reiley - Breaking My Heart
43

Breaking My Heart is just another very factory-made sounding pop song.

Victor - What They Say
17

What They Say is throwaway Eurovision sludge. It’s just another anthemic chart-friendly sad-young-white-guy-with-a-guitar pop track that everyone else is doing already.

Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On)
77

D.G.T. (Off And On) is certainly unsettling, but not to its detriment. I honestly found it much more interesting and engaging musically (and lyrically) than I was expecting. However I do also think it falls apart slightly after the halfway mark and becomes somewhat of a mess.

Let 3 - Mama ŠČ!
49

I’m not that interested in hearing a nursery rhyme about a tractor, even if it’s filled with references to Vladimir Putin. Thusly, Mama ŠČ! doesn’t really do much for me even with all the theatrics in the chorus.

TEYA - Who the Hell Is Edgar?
77

Who The Hell Is Edgar? is a lot smarter and better written the majority of songs you typically get at Eurovision.

Mae Muller - I Wrote a Song
30

I Wrote A Song feels tailor-made to play relentlessly through the loudspeakers of British supermarkets until the end of time.

The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party)
76

Solid, carefree, nu-disco fun doesn’t get any more solid, carefree and nu-disco than Dance (Our Own Party).

"great review; dan le sac & scroobius pip are interesting in that their legacy now seems to be this song and a very bad pitchfork review. i heard their first album and none of it really gelled with me, although i did enjoy this does it offend you yeah remix of a song off their second album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwvucPxCyC0. also, their name is always a nice little throwback to when collaborations would be labeled as "one artist vs another artist" haha"

On orange's review of Lovejoy - One Simple Trick
"I dunno, I think Lovejoy have had more than enough time to find their niche, so to speak. They've already put out three widely publicised EPs and they're getting double the attention and resources a regular indie rock band would get at this stage in their career thanks in no small part to the existing popularity of their lead singer. If they're still spinning their wheels in the mud right now I don't have high hopes for their future release quality."

"that game in particular took a heavier influence from the edm scene as well as more pop rap (let it roll, us against the world) and the bulk of the indie was mostly along the lines of shimmer pop like st. lucia and early walk the moon"
