"Live-Evil consists of four long jams recorded live, with four nice short moody tracks, recorded in studio, in between. A small negative for me would be that the long tracks sound very much alike. If someone played a small snippet of one of the four pieces and asked me which one it is, I would hav..."  [+]  Reply

"Evoking dream-pop atmospherics and an undercurrent of psychedelia, Holter expands upon the aesthetics of Julianna Barwick's 'The Magic Place', to create an album that in many ways is not unlike a postmodern amalgam of 'Desertshore', 'Lorca' and 'Rock Bottom'. The sound of piano and harpsicord all..."  [+]  Reply

""This is a largely melody-based album- Its purpose is to find its way into your brain and stick there. There are piano hooks, lush vocal harmonies, and easily-clappable drum beats. There are cheesy lyrics, dated 70s moments, and clean production. Here on BEA we typically see those aspects as detr..."  [+]  Reply

"Bit too basic for my tastes - Hard Times, Wake Up and 30 Days aren't particularly impressive showcases of rapping or beats. There are some highlights though, Rock Box has some pretty great guitar work to compliment the energetic vocals, and Jay's Game is a classic example of 80's turntablism."  Reply

"An eclectic mix of musical genres (world music, free jazz, reggae/dub) performed on an eclectic mix of odd instruments, including traditional African and Asian percussion instruments. Very experimental music, but it's not entirely avant-garde as there is some structure to the songs provided by th..."  [+]  Reply

"Feels like a slightly stripped down and perhaps more immediate piece of work from Simz in comparison to the epic conceptual heights of her previous album 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert', mixed with a dash of SAULT-esque rootsiness via the occasional inclusion of traditional percussion or gospel ..."  [+]  Reply
