Review: Beady Eye – BE

June 18th, 2013

Roping in TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek proves to be an inspired move, but Liam Gallagher sadly remains a less than satisfactory focal point.

Review: Black Sabbath – 13

June 17th, 2013

Flashes of their old magic trade blows with the ham-fisted lyrical likes of "I'm a pariah / For your desire / Ain't no messiah".

Review: Disclosure – Settle

June 17th, 2013

The Lawrence brothers seem to have sprung out of nowhere into ubiquity, and their pupil-dilating debut LP justifies the hype.

Review: Camera Obscura – Desire Lines

June 16th, 2013

The Glasgow indie pop favourites' fifth LP will leave you feeling all cosy and safe, reassuringly rather than boringly so.

Review: KT Tunstall – Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon

June 14th, 2013

When did Tunstall start sounding this great? This, her fourth album, is virtually unrecognisable from the blandness that turned us off in the first place.

Review: Eleanor Friedberger – Personal Record

June 14th, 2013

The erstwhile Fiery Furnace and queen of idiosyncratic indie pop is no less alluring on this follow-up to her 2011 solo debut Last Summer.

Review: Jimmy Eat World – Damage

June 13th, 2013

An unashamed breakup record that at its best is still only quite good - gotta love that umbrella, though.

Review: James Skelly & The Intenders – Love Undercover

June 13th, 2013

The Coral front man's new project treads a fine line between heartfelt honesty and outright homage on this soul/R&B-inspired .

Review: Anna von Hausswolff – Ceremony

June 13th, 2013

"Kate Bush singing at the gates of Hell" - that's how Rasmus Stolberg of Efterklang described Anna von Hausswolff to us, and he's got a point.

Review: Tunng – Turbines

June 13th, 2013

A "sci-fi folk rock album" according to the band, a psychedelic samba-folk-tronica odyssey according to us - whatever it is, it's phenomenal.
