Crack Cloud - Pain Olympics
95

Solid diversity of tracks with refrain, rap, electric guitar and whacked out synth rewards listeners the more you allow it to.

Cable Ties - Far Enough
100

If a listen to "hope" won't move you, you ain't human. Power guitars and explosively controlled vocals yield one of the year's best records.

BLACKSTARKIDS - SURF
100

This is the album of the year. A pre-pandemic assemblage of teen anxiety and joy seeking out the answers to life's questions through a cloudy but hopeful lens. Creative choruses paired with low key rapping yield irresistible engagement through headphones bathed in the pop of youth. Forget the cannonized best of lists and seek this one out.

Roadside Graves - That's Why We're Running Away
90

Brilliant arrangements.....quality songwriting...really great

X - Alphabetland
100

How is it possible this shows up 30 plus years after their last missive and is just sheer brilliance?

The Smith Street Band - Don’t Waste Your Anger
80

Wanna scream these lyrics in a crowded, sweaty basement bar whilst no one fears those standing next to them.

Wussy - Strawberry
NR

Sonic bliss

Wussy - Attica!
NR

Pure sonic magic.

Wussy - Funeral Dress
100

Truly one of the best albums ever made.

Paul Bergmann - Paradise EP

Try "Love is my Pain"

Issy Wood - The Blame, Pt. 2
80

Creative arrangements and haunting singing. Has a lot of potential
