The result of two years of head-down studio time, the Brighton-based producer has laced this debut with heart-racing drums that trip over each other and dark-hued synth rollers.

It's impossible to shake the notion that here is an album that might just prove to have longevity--to be a loved collection of stunningly written and presented pop songs.

It all adds up to a set of hallucinogenic songs that sound like they were spat out of another dimension. A truly special record from a band you need to keep your eye on.

Yet American Football sounds like nothing that’s come in the last 16 years, or the last two for that matter.

Our Love is a record that feels distinctly his own, accessible yet containing minute touches that you’ll need to listen to many times to appreciate.

Belief is a truly remarkable record; hermetic and idiosyncratic, the work of a stubborn maverick pursuing his own lone path.

A tense but rewarding debut--one that fits in nicely with the Clinic canon, while also giving Sherwood a starring role.

Big Fish Theory is a record that not only sees Vince taking risks and progressing forward as an artist, but also another astounding example of what hip-hop should and can be in 2017.

Youth is full of uncertainty, but one thing’s for sure: this four-piece have an impressive body of work to share with you.

Engrossing, dark and irresistible, ‘Stray’ is a grandiose effort from an adventurous group, who just keep getting better all the time. Bambara remain a genuine force.

Inji is a good album. It's one of the best albums to have been released this year, which says a lot about Dust's ability as a composer.

Everybody’s Everything is a well-rounded tribute showcasing every aspect of Lil Peep. Not only highlighting an upsetting loss in the music industry but setting the bar for emo-trap; a sound that can often come across as gimmicky, this album exceeds our expectations and is a righteous example of Lil Peep’s art.

Bleeds isn’t a flawless album, but it is diverse and imaginative.

The lack of pristine sound quality also gives the songs something they might have otherwise lost. They, and Neil Young himself, sound more vulnerable. I’ve never heard ‘Ambulance Blues’ sound so urgent. Which, considering some of the other songs, is very impressive.

While no single track quite matches Four Tet's 'Love Cry', it's as good overall as his contemporary's recent 'There Is Love In You'.

The long-time drummer may be walking hesitantly into the spotlight, but the record carries a softly-spoken sense of confidence. An enriching song cycle, we sincerely hope this is only the start.

HWTD has dug himself a neat, little songbird alcove and it's one only he can reach.

While it’d be difficult to proclaim it her finest work, ‘She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She’ is certainly Wolfe’s most ambitious and careful-constructed album. Deliciously-dramatic in its nocturnal flair, it cracks open a whole new set of tantalising sonic possibilities for Wolfe’s and her collaborators’ future.

Richly melodic and possessing a classicist pop sensibility, this is rock music with soul.

An album with novelistic depth, when ‘30’ turns once more for its London-rooted conclusion, Adele seems to reach a new level in her stratospheric career.

Ash serves as a stirring, reflective statement in uncertain times. Russell’s production throughout is outstanding too.

The album title ‘Transparent Things’ proves cohesive with its contents; storytelling lyrics that on their surface level fixate the listener before drawing them to see through Ford’s fictional-narrative muses and reflect on their compatibilities with them, all against the back drop of a strong indie-rock soundtrack.

Greep’s love of music – from Brazilian legends Egberto Gismonti and Naná Vasconcelos to the avant-rock ventures of his former band and Brixton brethren – strikes out of the album with an incredible force.

This is an impressive and well-rounded collection of work from the hard-working Australians.

Intense and claustrophobic, it's a surprisingly revelatory record that captures the highs and lows of human experience and existence.

Twilight techno at its most haunted.

This is the sound of a questing spirit pushing at the parameters of unlimited freedom, a hand reaching out to grasp infinity and not falling far short.

‘Different Kinds Of Light’ shows Bird navigating melody and emotion with impressive command, a musician in all senses of the word. Continuing to colour outside the lines on future material could make Bird a household name for years to come.
