"what the hell i've listened?! pure creativity, genuine and magical creativity. Nico's avantgarde is everywhere, polished by ambient electronic, free jazz echoes and art pop music at its best. By far, my personal favourite album from 2018." Reply

"Great album from KGLW, and also the precursor to their follow-up album and masterpiece; Nonagon infinity. The album's beginning tracks are a wild continuous ride full of hips shaking and head bobbing highlights. It is definitly one of those projects with a remmeberable start. It is also quite sur..."

"Mac Demarco is an artist that I have always enjoyed. His albums are always pleasant enough to listen to, and even more so, his personality is just infectious. That being said, this is the first of his albums that goes above and beyond just being a good listen. You can hear him really going outsid..." [+] Reply

"Feels like a classic of whatever genre it is, after one listen. Billed as being house and I think if you are coming to this expecting just house music, you'd be wrong. I honestly don't listen to much house music but here that genre feels like its the frame to which he's painted a collage of all s..." [+] Reply

"Because all music is designed for grown ups who behave responsibly. Music isn't about fun, you have to solve lifes problems, ponder existence and dabble with hamfisted socialist slogans and write songs about anorexia to go with it." Reply

"High quality consistent indie folk record w/ a few touches of shoegaze. No tracks blew me away (parts of tracks did) but I was consistently impressed all the way through.
