Review: Alice in Chains – The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
June 10th, 2013
Just about enough moments of brilliance to merit investigation, but you might find it a wee bit wheaty and chaffy - rubbish title, too.

Review: Spectrals – Sob Story
June 9th, 2013
No shortage of swoonsome melodies but little originality - conversely put, there's little originality but no shortage of swoonsome melodies.
Review: Hooded Fang – Gravez
June 9th, 2013
Pixies meets The La's meets the Ramones? Something like that, but pinning this one down ain't straightforward - good thing, too.
Review: Miles Kane – Don’t Forget Who You Are
June 6th, 2013
Makes a good fist of trying not to be stodgy indie schmindie, but ultimately comes out smelling of stodgy indie schmindie.
Review: The Orb feat. Lee Scratch Perry – More Tales from the Orbservatory
June 6th, 2013
Hits various dubby, beatsy sweet spots but comes across as relatively content to exist as a mere curio.
Review: Queens of the Stone Age – …Like Clockwork
June 5th, 2013
QOTSA go all-out melodic and still manage to craft something powerful - bound to alienate some fans but quite breathtaking in its own right.
Review: Boards of Canada – Tomorrow’s Harvest
June 5th, 2013
A mystery-enshrouded first album in eight years from the undisputed kings of monged, faintly sinister electronica - needless to say, it's got a lot to live up to.
Review: Mount Kimbie – Cold Spring Fault Less Youth
June 5th, 2013
Sparse yet synaesthetic second full-length album from Warp Records duo - stark landscape with plenty bubbling beneath the surface.
Review: The Teardrop Explodes – Wilder (Expanded Edition)
June 3rd, 2013
"For those of you with bad eyesight, the people at the front are now witnessing a face solo" - welcome to the weirder, wilder world of Julian Cope.
Review: Josh Rouse – The Happiness Waltz
June 3rd, 2013
Back to the kind of lush, pedal-steel-assisted arrangements of Rouse's mid-noughties output - a delightfully subtle and sophisticated set.
