Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light, Vol. 2 is a looser affair, showcasing Carlson's improvisational chemistry with long-term percussionist Adrienne Davies, bass player Karl Blau and cellist Lori Goldston. [Mar 2012, p.102]- Mojo

Benefiting from a stable line-up throughout, Song of the Pearl manages to sound brighter and more dynamic while retaining its predecessor's visionary essence. [Apr 2009, p.107]- Mojo

Throughout, it's the sheer quality of Nau's songwriting that truly impresses. [Jul 2017, p.89]- Mojo

Night Cafe, The Future Will Be Silent and the earworm that is Dresden might just be some of their best ever pieces. [May 2013, p.90]- Mojo

The slow-burners can drag, but it peaks again on Down and Eno-ish Waiting. [Jul 2017, p.96]- Mojo

It's Bronxie's heart, soul and natural world-inspired epiphanies that charm most. [May 2015, p.96]- Mojo

Ten spare, spacious folk-Americana songs, many of them lovely, and the instrumentation is subtle and beautiful. [Sep 2020, p.87]- Mojo

True, [Merritt] still sings in a voice that's subject to fairly strict demarcations of range and malleability, but his deft spadework in the trench of song-craft more than compensates. [May 2004, p.93]- Mojo

The folk-adjacent auteur’s ninth studio LP is alive, Natalie Merchant-style, to the marvels of creation, but also the vulnerability that comes with suddenly having a physical stake in the future of humanity. [Oct 2025, p.88]- Mojo

New York is one of Reed's strongest solo albums, with its tight focus, impassioned lyrics and spare, almost punky music. This is a deserved reissue, but the extras - a complete, energetic live rendition of the record from 1989, and some outtakes including he unissued The Room - are for fans only. [Nov 2020, p.92]- Mojo

Raw yet warm, Love What Survives has a distinctively comforting setting. [Oct 2017, p.92]- Mojo

Songs packed with breathless synth and guitar drama, yet still sounding deceptively simple. [Oct 2017, p.98]- Mojo

Maker's vocal may be Thom Yorke-like, falsetto lift0-invcluded, but that equidistant spellbound bittersweet spot is Aero Flynn's outright. [Sep 2015, p.91]- Mojo

Imelda May can voice rockin' blues, slap-bass rockabilly and smoky torch jazz and she can do it incredibly well. [Nov. 2010, p. 102]- Mojo

While keyboardist Vijay Iyer and bassist/Moog player Shahzad Ismaily summon a succession of iridescent, jazz-ambient drones and stimulating pianistic inventions, the compelling centre here is always Aftab's extraordinary voice, a thing of languorously modulating beauty. [May 2023, p.84]- Mojo

The most energised performance Costello has committed to record in a long time and - despite his protestations that The Imposters are an entirely different band - his most classic Attractions-like album since 1994's Brutal Youth. [Feb 2022, p.83]- Mojo

foon's USP here is her voice, an instrument of somnolent, gossamer allure which floats gracefully, if opaquely, amid the eddying, amniotic music. [Jul 2013, p.92]- Mojo

An entire LP of these earthy yet cerebral pop constructs would have been no hardship whatsoever. [Oct 2011, p.92]- Mojo

By combining the searing intimacy of a boombox-constructed mixtape with progressive and delirious bars, Earl's third album offers a rare kind of insight, sagacious from a 24-year-old. [Mar 2019, p.80]- Mojo

Thanks to its exquisite craft, and Remy's feel for her characters, that project finds its finest expression yet in Heavy Light. [Apr 2020, p.86]- Mojo

Arranged with exquisite care, not a swooning backing vocal, Gram Parsons echo or Brian Eeno-influenced synthesizer out of place. [Apr 2020, p.89]- Mojo

This is the band taking stock, creating a record that has a bleak, sonically rich beauty. [Jul 2025, p.88]- Mojo

There’s always been a debt to The Beatles percolating around within Segall’s vast discography: a certain elegant way with a tune, a Lennonish rasp, that’s suggested he could make a more straightforward album, with a little more appeal beyond the garage rock illuminati. Possession is essentially that record, one where his Beatlesy nous aligns to a sort of strutting glam-baroque, without losing the dynamism that made Segall’s scrappier projects such fun.
