Track for track, From Here We Go Sublime is mired in some of the simplest beats in modern electronic music.

It’s a remarkable debut by a tremendous quartet. Not only does it have the raw emotion, but also the intense, glorious musicianship, absorbing hooks and grandiose arrangements to leave you utterly breathless, drained and wanting more.

Strangelet may not be Grant-Lee Phillips’ most stirring collection of songs, but it’s certainly no catastrophe.

Although Saltbreakers may have less easy-to-find melodic hooks than its predecessor, it certainly doesn’t lack much in the rich eclecticism stakes.

The band's eponymous debut is a classy, memorable, and swooning collection of sophisticated pop.

It’s a sincere album that is as friendly and rewarding as any of their previous works.

It’s not quite the doom-laden disaster that provisional plays suggest but neither is it an easy-to-recommend addition to the Low catalogue.

Undeniably the most diverse album Leo’s ever made, Living with the Living leaves not one of Leo’s stylistic stepping-stones unturned.

His careful attention to detail and masterful use of vocal harmonies are unparalleled in modern indie rock.

It's an excellent album. It might be the best album released this year. And it proves that Funeral was not a fluke.

It sounds like 4th generation Stooges impersonators.

Everything comes together in a melting pot of rock and pop that is both delightful and intriguing. It has melodies, smart and quirky lyrics, and the band features some unique musicianship that is executed well.

This is quite possibly Explosions in the Sky's finest moment. Buy this album now and be ready to have your life changed.

The Cost is hardly a poor album - in fact it's a quite good album - but after the release of so many gems, I find it difficult for it to completely measure up to the stiff competition.

Calla's sound continues to evolve as they explore divergent musical avenues within the context of potent, atmospheric alt-rock.

Even the better tracks fall a little flat.

As Terry expands Aqueduct's sound into similar neo-psychedelic indi-pop territory as Figurines, Islands and Of Montreal, he also shares their knack for animated and robust indie-rock.

This is a just an amazingly pretty and graceful album.

Although This Too Will Pass is a very solid effort from a maturing artist, it seems to be missing some of the energy of previous releases.

Jesse Sykes and company have fashioned an alternative country-rock album that is both decent and reflective.

The first two songs eclipse any other songs on the album, but I'm not saying the rest of the material is weak.

A bland alt-pop stew that meanders aimlessly.

An original and exquisite album full of playful and energetic indie-rock that, while retaining some of the same qualities as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, is also a step in a new direction that suits the band fine.

Roadkillovercoat, though possessing several arresting and infinitely entertaining moments, lacks the overall effect and a certain cohesion to render it an instant classic.

The group's sound is, at times, difficult to simply listen to, so it comes as no surprise that expanding upon it in such a drastic way would produce several miscues.

This album has something for everyone and will appeal to the kids who like ambient drone pieces and folks who love songs with great pop hooks - and everyone in between.

For all its aural pleasantries, it seems bored, lethargic, strapped, bounded and paralyzed by mysteriously viscous elements.

Wincing The Night Away has enough dreamy, jangly and melodic indie-pop that almost lives up to the hype and will leave swirling, seraphic sensations playing inside your head.
