"Not as good as TA13OO imo, but it's straight fire. Shorter (only 29 minutes), more to the point and much more upbeat and hard-hitting. However I find TA13OO to be a more engaging listen, although both albums are excellent. Cannot wait to hear more from Denzel!"  Reply

Just as quirky as his past output, House of Sugar features tacky synth sounds, odd pitched vocals, and strange circular melodies mixed with straightforward acoustic ballads and passages of slowcore and alt-rock. The album loses some steam in the mid-section, but the opening run through Gretel and the tail end from In my Arms onward is gorgeous. A good place to start if you want to get into Alex's more hi-fi recent output. "  [+]  Reply

I want to highlight Kindred and Truant/Rough Sleeper as the 2 EPs on this compilation that tower above the others. They have so much to offer the avid, immersive listener of electronic music. They really do seem to tell a story, but not the same story. There is always a new story floating throughout with each new listen. As the English writer Mark Fisher so evocatively puts it; “Burial's London is a wounded city, populated by ecstasy casualties on day release from psychiatric units, disappointed lovers on night buses, parents who can't quite bring themselves to sell their Rave 12 inches at a carboot sale, all of them with haunted looks on their faces, but also haunting their interpassively nihilistic kids with the thought that things weren't always like this. It is like walking into the abandoned spaces once carnivalised by Raves and finding them returned to depopulated dereliction. Muted air horns flare like the ghosts of Raves past. Broken glass cracks underfoot. MDMA flashbacks bring London to unlife in the way that hallucinogens brought demons crawling out of the subways in Jacob’s Ladder’s New York. Audio hallucinations transform the city’s rhythms into inorganic beings, more dejected than malign. You see faces in the clouds and hear voices in the crackle. What you momentarily thought was muffled bass turns out only to be the rumbling of tube trains”. Some of the purely ambient tracks kick off this album which makes for a long intro to the subtle beats of my preferred tracks and prevent the album from being a top 10 contender for me but the quality of the second half makes it a definite contender."  [+]  Reply

Like on previous projects different members stick out in different ways than they have before. In my opinion, Bearface and Kevin continue to be the best to feature vocals in the group while nearly everyone else regresses. Matt Champion doesn't need to do anymore singing like he does on this album. Merlyn is forgettable aside from his "Murder Man" riffing. Joba seems a bit misguided in his efforts to push his artistry forward. Dom McLennon is decent but his "Dearly Departed" verse isn't that great and his style of strictly being a rapper while everyone else is trying other things is becoming a little stale to me. Ryan Beatty has been a nice addition to the crew. With all that being said, the album has a few great tracks in "Sugar", "Boy Bye" and "Ginger". A few others are good but songs like "Big Boy" and "I Been Born Again" are not of the quality that I've come to expect. A lot of the songs seems as though they were lazily recorded and then they tried to make something out them after."  [+]  Reply

So why do I rarely feel elated while listening, or find myself humming any favorite tunes in particular? It's a worthy next-step artistically for Carly that's strong top-to-bottom, but perhaps a sign that consistency with the Jepsen is mad overrated. The heart is in the right place, but Dedicated just doesn't quite stir the emotions enough to be head-over-heels in love with this time. Still lovely, though, just not quite meeting it's perhaps too-high expectations. "  [+]  Reply

It feels assured and confident, and features some of Swift's best songwriting yet. The production is generally really lush and complimentary, and there's a vicarious joy in the themes of new love, and alchemising pain from the past.

And that's not an arbitrary comparison. When I first listened to Nothing Great About Britain, the yelping raps, bipolar tones and erratic production instantly had me picturing a younger Danny Brown. But that's not to take anything away from Slowthai who, in his own right, is one of the most unique voices to come out of the British hip-hop/grime scene in quite some time. Armed with life experience, a cynical political slant and wit sharper than a two-edged knife, slowthai presents listeners with a collection of tracks both attention-demanding and unflinching in its honesty. Mixing grime's poise with punk's anarchism, Nothing Great About Britain is the perfect antidote for a new generation of young Brits confronting (what seems to be) a poltically and economically grim road ahead.

Most of the tracks here are little more than a repetitive guitar with vocals, but the way the two go together works on every track. Jessica's voice is the main factor holding everything together, it takes a short while to get used to it but once you're there it beautifully occupies the spaces left by the instrumentals with its echoing effects. The odd instrumental flairs are also great whenever they appear, breathing new life into certain sections of the tracks. It's a great album that arranges a small amount of elements perfectly. There's not a huge amount of variation here, but this isn't so much a problem on a sub 30 minute album. I'm sure I'll only like it more with time."  [+]  Reply
