"One of the most joyful breezy listens I’ve had the pleasure to experience in recent times. Just the tonic for the recent global affect. This is the follow-up sound to Person Pitch that was seemingly never going to come. The harmonies and meditative melodic repetition that defined that fantastic a..." [+] Reply

"I’ve been a huge Deafheaven guy since they blew me away with ‘Sunbather’ some 8 years post & through ‘New Bermuda’ and ‘Ordinary Corrupt..” they have been a staple of my regular musical diet. As such I have been tracking this 2021 release for the past 18 months and from the get go the word has co..." [+] Reply

"(A formidable, beautiful alt-country/chamber folk-type album that, while quite pretty can leave me feeling like its a bit empty of real grit and meaning.) My relationship with this album has developed and shifted several times over the last couple months. When I first heard it, I admit I was kind..." [+] Reply

"The obvious complaint about this album would be the skits/interludes/call them any way you like. Rashida's Tale was the one that I felt added something, but in general they broke the flow of the album. You can tell how detrimental they are by checking how their absence immediately elevates the al..." [+] Reply
"A change of pace both in terms of attitude - this is The Antlers at their most relaxed/uplifting/optimistic - and style - not as adventurous as usual, but minimal doesn't equal simplistic, it's still not as straightforward as you may initially think. Also, their most vocals focused album - and wh..." [+] Reply
"Once again, Paul Simon shows that he is almost peerless as an artist. As he ages, he has not stopped making music that challenges him and his audience.

"Gorgeous album from Christian Lee Hutson, produced by Phoebe Bridgers. His lyricism is incredible throughout, especially impressed with Northsiders. Incredible guitar-work as well, feels very reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel." Reply

"There isn't a bad song on here, in fact there's real gems in here like single Back to the Radio, Birthday Party and U Can Be Happy If U Want To. My feelings about Porridge Radio, and maybe they haven't completely changed because of this release but have been challenged, is that they're a band fro..." [+] Reply

"One of the most fun and surprising pop albums in recent years. Amaarae has the goods." Reply
