"This is a really really good album, I was exactly what I expected, it was 2nd to Mellon Collie because the Pumpkins can never top that.

"I only stumbled across this band in 2021 with A Fever Dream and I loved that. This album started and initially I hated it until it got to the middle set of songs and I warmed to them. Even the first 3 or 4 listens I was still feeling no love for the opening half - suddenly something clicked and I..."  [+]  Reply

"Actress is the moniker under which DJ Darren Cunningham works under. This album, “R.I.P." is his first full-length studio album, previously he’s done some work with Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and also with Gorillaz front-man Damon Albarn, but now Cunningham has decided to work on his own. This..."  [+]  Reply

"As the title would suggest, this is a very spacey sounding album. They have a similar style to fellow Australian band Tame Impala but they are not on the same level as them. A solid effort though"  Reply

"This record's so great at building an effortlessly dreamlike landscape. 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..."  [+]  Reply
