The Incessant has a wealth of great ideas baked into the sediment of a wholly unremarkable collection of songs but boasts enough personality to still be worth giving the benefit of your doubt.

Forever rushing forwards, Saturday Night isn’t content to sit still. It’s illuminating and infuriating, but never easy to ignore.

An effortless blending and renewed celebration of genres like punk, new wave, techno and hip-hop is all made possible with the inclusion of long time Trainspotting favourites Iggy Pop, Blondie and Underworld and extra additions in Queen, The Clash, Run DMC and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

CULTURE may be limited in its scope, but it delivers in spades everything one might have hoped for from “the Beatles of this generation.”

While it's undoubtedly a solid addition to Sean's catalogue, at the end of I Decided. it's the flows and instrumentals that are left with the listener, having upstaged what Sean is actually trying to say.

A dry and devilishly powerful psych rock collection, hard-nosed and sinister in all the right ways.

From the delighted cheers of the fans to the simple message of ‘merci’ from Sleater-Kinny themselves Live In Paris is the sound of band who--frequently under-rated, sometimes unjustly ignored--have found a room of their own. This is their time.

Life & Livin’ It is a powerful reminder that basic truths, basic rights, are always the most important.

Fin is one record in conversation with the others--a new model of creativity and one that has produced, at the very least, an excellent piece of work.

Human is an impressive, life-affirming record chock-full of hooks and classy, grown-up production. Praise be.

Their carefully crafted, layered arrangements, and surreal lyric create a bit of a wonderland feel which is more than welcome as the day slowly grows brighter.

Garden Of Ashes is redolent of a muggy swamp and just as easy to sink into.

There’s nothing that lifts it from being middle of the road Einaudi. Then again, standing on a cliff listening to middle of the road Einaudi is never a bad place to be.

Process is his ‘Carrie And Lowell’, a healing record for the broken, the lovelorn and the lost.

Fresh Air is confidently obtuse in that it expertly harnesses the power in Sagar’s slightly off-kilter and out-of-tune instrumentation.

Crafted to perfection, Silhouette is outstanding in its audible beauty.

While there’s certainly more emphasis on melody this time around, it’s brought about through noticeably more mature, more refined compositions.

Little Fictions, in the end, though a welcome sign of elbow gently progressing with their formula, is a step forward feels too hesitant.

Jardin is also no departure from Garzón-Montano’s first release, 2014’s EP ‘Bishouné: Alma del Huila’, but rather a continuation of theme and sound. Perhaps it is his self-imposed musical exile which has created a sound that some listeners may find repetitive whilst others meaningful in its persistence.

While nostalgia does play a prominent role in ‘After The Party’, the record manages to avoid getting bogged down in it thanks to its ability to keep one eye looking forward.

After an unimaginably tough year, Surfer Blood should reap the rewards of soldiering on. Inspiring stuff.

Cloud Nothings’ best work to date.

Kehlani is most comfortable when she’s her most abrasive and cutting, challenging her counterparts as she glides over Pop & Oak manufactured beats.

An undeniably innovative slant lies at the forefront of this LP, as well as a warming glow to soundtrack impending winter nights.

A bold and confident return.

Tracks such as ‘Aurelia’ and ‘Feed From The Floor’ harbour familiar macabre theatrics, though this time they feel more matured and far less overwrought than in previous offerings.
