"Absolute masterpiece! Saw her live as opening act for Lana Del Rey and she is an actual goddess. Her EP Por Vida was very promising and she absolutely delivered. Favorites include "Miami", "Flight 22", and "Dead To Me" Can't wait to see what she does next!" Reply

"Look at all the 60/100s! Looks like a bunch of people saw Fantano's review and just gave it the same score. That's disappointing because this is an incredible album that just misses the heights set out by Sunbather." Reply

"Proof that the day of artists producing difficult, boundary pushing albums is far from over, Hopelessness is a dazzling and thought-provoking piece of work. Leaving behind the previous baroque-rock stylings of before for a more contemporary, electro feel this is a brave and exciting step forward ..." [+] Reply

"It's so richly dense in texture and sound that it is quite mesmerizing. The vocals at times feel a bit too samey but there is enough variety in the melodies that it does not take much away from the experience." Reply
"This record is just wonderful. A very unique brand of rap with so many phenomenal twists of phrase. The accompanying music is equally as engaging, the drums not the least of which. I think it's fair to draw some comparisons to To Pimp A Butterfly, especially musically although nothing is contrive..." [+] Reply

"A solid debut album, it's just not something I haven't heard before. The album as a whole is very minimalistic and crisp. It has the tone of summer love and summer heartbreak like so many other albums before. Most of the songs sound similar in terms of instrumentation and lyricism which makes som..." [+] Reply

"Shabaka Hutchings, the ubiquitous figure in London's burgeoning experimental jazz scene, is back. When he is not involved with Shabaka and The Ancestors or his quartet Sons of Kemet, the thirty-year-old saxophonist and clarinettist enjoys venturing into the confines of cosmic jazz with his extrat..."

"This is an interesting approach to a double-disc collection. Disc 1 is the kind of stuff he's known for, namely self-promotion and booming bass (there's another installment in his series of songs about subwoofers). Disc 2 is more personal and earnest. So you can decide which K.R.I.T. you want; th..." [+] Reply

"Awesome job. Portugal. The Man keeps trying new stuff without abandoning their sound, and Danger Mouse helped a lot on this one, making a great and catchy album. Creep In a T-Shirt, Evil Friends, Plastic Soldiers, PYR&B are some of the stand-out tracks, Smile is a perfect way to finish it." Reply
