“Well, kudos to Low for moving out of their comfort zone and making something as weird and well, lovely as this. There is distortion - loads of it, deep bass rumbles and an overwhelming sense of dislocation. It sounds like it shouldn’t work but it does. Reckon Low are just slow-core? Prepare to have that misconception challenged.” September 2018 [First added to this chart: 09/14/2018]

“After the slight blip that was the last album which was far too messy and confusing to be coherent, Love Is Magic is a return to the quality we’re used to. This time the 70’s style FM rock has merged completely with the synth-pop to create something that is unique and synonymous with John Grant alone. Thankfully the songs about his infamous ex have disappeared to be replaced with pithy and bitchy snipes at clubland...but in a nice way.” October 2018 [First added to this chart: 10/13/2018]

The Sound Of Music

“Laibach’s rendition of the soundtrack to The Sound Of Music is proof that music can still be a political force. Although it can verge on camp, especially when Milan Fras’ deep, deep bass voice looms into sight (did I just say incongruous?), but it soon becomes obvious that the movies’ anti-fascist, libertine message resonates deeply with the band’s anti-totalitarianist stance. It also makes for fine listening during this festive season.” November 2018 [First added to this chart: 11/23/2018]

“Another one of those bands that will forever be linked to 4AD no matter how long the passage of time because, well, the music could only spring from one label and have I said touched by the hand of Ivo yet?
To long term fans the music is no surprise, with the album consisting of two neo-classical Middle-Eastern pieces with a certain gothic splendour that make little concession to the 20th or 21st Century. It’s very, very good.” November 2018 [First added to this chart: 09/20/2018]

"With it being his first solo release in 17 years, the album collates a large number of tracks (25 in total), often bringing to mind the ambient/trance boom of the mid-90's and that’s despite the restlessness of it all.
An ethereal/Enya-like quality even finds time to creep in, especially those featuring the vocal manipulation Carter worked on with his former TG associate, Sleazy." March 2018 [First added to this chart: 01/11/2018]

“For a musician suffering from a terminal condition, an album over-brimming with boundless optimism is the last thing you’d expect but that’s exactly what you get. More than anything, Martin Phillips is ready to tell us what a joy life is, ready to wring every last drop of happiness from each and every day. And it’s hard to disagree, particularly when each tune floats by on the same cloud as a...heavenly pop hit.” September 2018 [First added to this chart: 09/22/2018]

“Out of all the shoegazers, the Kitchens of Distinction were the most quixotic and Patrick Fitzgerald’s latest project with ex-Wonky Alice Yves Altana shows no let up sonically. Let’s just say conventionality is binned, meaning the songs occupy a unique space that is as queer as every left-turn the music continuously makes. So be prepared for a perverse, ear-bending but adventurous excursion that has no intention of resting on it’s laurels.” October 2018 [First added to this chart: 10/29/2018]

“Fourth collaboration between Xiu Xiu and Larsen and to date, their best by far. The music still follows the same electronic, ambient path as before but just a bit more accessible this time, with equal emphasis being placed on XXL’s pop leanings as their experimental side.” December 2018 [First added to this chart: 12/22/2018]

“Re-worked and expanded edition of the original 2017 release, it still remains quite the compliment as these lo-fi, rinky-dink, synth-pop renditions pay their, er, dues.
Saul still sounds like he’s ready to collapse before the songs end and it’s hard to figure out if the originals are being grievously insulted or celebrated. It’s desperate, it’s puerile, but I like it.” October 2018 [First added to this chart: 09/19/2018]

"A change is as good as a rest and thankfully Beach House have moved on from their breakthrough lp, Teen Dream as their last two albums were pleasant enough but not really exciting. With Sonic Boom on board for production duties and a new direction being forged ahead, the songs display a darker, moodier ambience that make for a more (thankfully) dramatic listening.” May 2018 [First added to this chart: 05/12/2018]
