"Seriously kicks ass not gonna lie. Very exciting return. Singles were great but man couple of those deep cuts are even better. Highly recommend playing it loud to fully experience the awesomeness of the sick AF killer beats. Oof! I'm being ridiculous because I'm excited plus it's just really good..." [+] Reply

"It's been a long time since I liked an album like I like this one. Best tracks: spillways and Respite on the spitalfields" Reply
"For such a major event, I’m surprised I have not listened to more music about the pandemic. Certainly some surface level references but nothing really conflicting with the event. That was until I heard “Dance Fever”. Florence paints such a vivid picture of the removal of live music by the plague...." [+] Reply

"“Crash” sees Charli XCX move from hyper pop into more conventional styles. The sound is a combination of contemporary pop and 80’s revival. Overall, this is crafted very competently though lacking a special touch. The choruses exist in the realm of memorable enough to recall but not to be stuck i..." [+] Reply

"This is a really nice folk project by Grizzly Bear frontman Daniel Rossen, and stands right up there with their best albums. Also, this album screams Scott Walker all throughout it, but I never really felt that this influence came on too strong, as Rossen takes the melodic phrasing in slightly di..." [+] Reply

"Wow this album really blew me away. I saw few people on tiktok heavily praising it and decided to give it a listen. I never listened to Quadeca before, but i heard of him from his Youtube stuff, And even after first listen i could feel this could be a contender for AOTY spot. And here we are at m..." [+] Reply
"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."

"“Topical Dancer” turns a little into much more. The minimal synths are weaved together into catchy focusing beats. “It hit me” transforms from a simple drum pattern into an almost industrial banger. Adigéry injects a wry wit through the album. Tongue in cheek barbs are thrown at passive aggressio..." [+] Reply
"The previous album was so frustrating, mainly in that it certainly felt quite personal but so musically trite and thin that it couldn't really support the emotional weight of the lyrics. This in turn feels like a much fuller and lush fleshing-out of the previous album's sound, adding in some more..." [+] Reply

"Stumpwork sees Dry Cleaning cleaning up their act – all the grit from their post-punk debut is pretty much gone. As much as I too wanna go see the otters and the water caterpillars, this subdued, instrumentally eclectic follow-up doesn't hold my attention. It lacks the visceral insistence on its ..." [+] Reply
