Roberts and Morrison have crafted an elegant and vivid love letter to the music and culture of Lewis, and certainly brings to life the storytellings and traditions of this remote outpost.

While it inevitably doesn’t have the shattering impact of Psychocandy, it does confirm their unlikely status as elder statesmen that a whole new generation can look up to.

Generally it seems Dizzee fares better when bouncing off others’ contributions. This makes E3 AF a step in the right direction, and while it doesn’t quite display the finesse of his first three albums it’s a welcome trip down memory lane.

It might not break any new ground but there'll be few albums this year as enjoyable as this one.

In many respects, the intent behind Along The Way is admirable indeed. Many plus points, then; even if just some variation wouldn’t have gone amiss. Much like Emeralds’ back catalogue.

This band clearly has a solid vision for their sound, and with a debut this satisfying, you’ll definitely want to see where that vision takes them next – especially if that involves more experimentation.

The High Country shows many sides of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Most of those sides are easily palatable and enjoyable, with the odd mis-step here and there preventing it from being a must-buy.

They managed to produce a collection of songs perfect for the summer months [in second album, Cave Rave]. The same could be said of Spreading Rumours, which is another album that could just as easily provide the soundtrack to Summer 2014.

Ultimately, Stranger Things sounds more like a band that are more comfortable with what they are doing.

This is a rather catchy, rather clever slice of electronica that you could easily find yourself falling in love with. It is also the kind of album that you could hate yourself for buying because you get off on the kind of tunes the Tweenies find annoying.

There’s nothing revolutionary on Flat White Moon, especially if you’re a long-term fan. What it is, however, is another impressively solid record from Field Music, who have quietly, over the last few years, turned into one of the country’s most consistent acts.

As an album it is of questionable value, but its ambitions are much bigger than the album form.

As the album progresses the grooves get more pronounced, as though the night’s movement is getting into gear.

Dreams Come True was never going to reach the near untouchable height of his canon, but you'd be hard pressed to map out a better first attempt to break free from that diamond-encrusted leash.

There is still a huge amount of enjoyment to gain from Boys Noize and that overrides some of the consistency issues.

This is another fine album from Grohl and company.

It consolidates what's gone before comprehensively, and occasionally points towards where the band might be headed.

Just A Souvenir contains more music than you might expect from two separate albums, and it's a thrilling if occasionally saturating listen.

As ever with Miley Cyrus, there’s a lot going on with Something Beautiful, and sometimes it doesn’t quite work. Yet it’s definitely another pleasingly unpredictable swing from one of our more intriguing and exciting pop stars.

MK 3.5: Die Cuts City Planning is diverse, lively and mostly encouraging.

It may be true that Oh No doesn’t quite match the mystery or depth of her debut--it’s all very transparent and above the surface in comparison--but it offers enough proof that the overt, more soulful qualities demonstrated on this album should serve her well for some time yet.

It may not be what you expect if you’re a casual fan, but it’s another intriguing little audio experiment from Wiggs, Stanley and Cracknell.

By the time Free The Ruler’s soulful loop fades out, we’ve only come to a conclusion in the loosest sense. The listener enters Earl’s world in medias res and 25 minutes later he’s still maintaining, still working everything out, but the journey’s been nuanced and engaging.

There are plenty of power-punk melodies to ensure What A Time To Be Alive isn’t condemned to an early shelf life, even if to put it amongst their best work would be a stretch too far.

Minor rants notwithstanding, Heartbreaking Bravery is a decent album.

The result is a collection of remarkably accomplished songs. With age, their early lyrical maturity can only blossom.

It does lack the melodic hooks of some of Field Music’s previous albums – there’s certainly nothing as instantly accessible as Them That Do Nothing or The Noisy Days Are Over, and some may find the somewhat ‘busy’ atmosphere of the album a bit overwhelming. However, it’s always good to hear the Brewis brothers back together, and Limits Of Language is a fine way to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band.

A fair criticism might be that Let’s Turn It Into Sound is a little formless, reliant on the novelty of whizzing sounds and pomp-filled arrangements, but in the hands of Aurelia Smith these certainly have the capacity to amaze and astound.
