"Very good solo record. It runs slightly out of steam towards the end but for the most part it's a solid and eclectic album with nods to pop, soul, blues, jazz and rock."  Reply

"After the light touch of Forget, Girl...is a return to Angel Guts’ dark pit of despair. However, even that album had a pop feel Girl...really doesn’t, the music being percussive heavy with the vocals (often) disjointedly laid on top. You could say this is Xiu Xiu but hardcore which says a lot con..."  [+]  Reply

"I loved Holly Herndon's "Platform" and it's true that the San Francisco musician amazed her entourage with her experimental music blending technology and organic. Four years later, she recurs in this approach with her new audacious album called "Proto". Holly Herndon created an artificial intelli..."  [+]  Reply

"quickly becoming my fav project of hers. Every cut is as hypnotizing and catchy as the last. Some really great incorporation of horns from the Spells EP that blend nicely with the 90s-era trance and experimental bits. 8.5-9/10."  Reply

"This isn’t a terrible album, but it’s not terribly good either It all just feels and sounds so incredibly safe with sparking clean production you could eat your lunch off. Where are the unfiltered guitars? Where are the sicko lyrics about murder , incest and mayhem? Slicing up eye balls? More lik..."  [+]  Reply

"No sophomore slump here for Hozier. Building upon the melancholy mood he brought to us in his debut "Take Me To Church" Hozier finds the proper balance between retro- Van Morrison aping Irish soul, and the 21st century. He's comfortable name-dropping James Brown and Curtis Mayfield in a nod to hi..."  [+]  Reply

"PSYCHODRAMA is the first album to completely deliver on the promise UK hip hop has shown in the past few years. There's been some good records in the grime scene, most prominently Skepta's 'Konnichiwa' and Wiley's 'Godfather', but for the most part even the best of these feel like a modern update..."  [+]  Reply

"Cards on the table I’m some thing of a Wilco fan boy so I’m probably writing this with rose coloured glasses on but I have to admit I really enjoyed ‘Ode To Joy’ more than any Wilco album in ... well , years ! . It is a hidden gem in the Wilco cannon What drew me in most initially were the wonder..."  [+]  Reply
