    Grid of Points
    The relative brevity and sparseness of the album, allied to the fact that it largely extends ideas laid down earlier in Harris’s career, won’t see Grid Of Points talked of in the same elevated way as some of her other work. But it serves as a timely reminder of her ability to create beautifully slow and contemplative music.

    Electric Balloon
    While they may not be the finished article just yet, there is enough promise here to suggest an exciting future ahead.

    Liberation
    An album that keeps pace with modern pop trends while remaining true to Aguilera’s past.

    Fragrant World
    It's no stinker, more a transition, a typical third LP that just doesn't catch light enough.

    So You Are... So You'll Be
    When the band take a decent melody and build a whole track around it, the formula is a winning one; what won’t appeal to some though are the occasional meanderings where the spacey blips and bleeps appear to have no meaningful musical direction.

    As Is Now
    As Is Now sees Weller revisiting various points of his varied career and updating them. So there's the brittle guitar pop of Come On/Let's Go which recalls The Jam, the pastoral, laid back vibe of Wild Wood in All On A Misty Morning and even the ghost of the Style Council is resurrected in Bring Back The Funk.

    Boy from Michigan
    Boy From Michigan is not an easy album to get to grips with, nor is it one for background listening. For those willing to put the work in, this is another invigorating missive from one of music’s finest minds.

    Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future
    It's not a record to dissect or fall in love with, but rather a diverting, casual listen that brightens up the best part of an hour.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Everything Now
    When it’s good, it’s very, very good--but it’s also flawed. Such is the band’s conviction to capturing their reservations about our on-demand culture, it’s hard not to feel drained by the end.

    Hot. Reckless. Totally Insane.
    Best Friends work best when they deal in heads down, pulsating rock.

    Howl
    It isn't their best record, but as an acknowledgement that slabs of feedback-laden noise weren't going to take them much further, and change was needed for an attempt at a long-term career, it's promising.

    I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life
    I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life doesn’t quite hit the immense heights of her first two albums, but this is still Merrill Garbus doing her own thing--which is something that’s always worth paying attention to.

    99 Cents
    99¢ is slick, soulful and full of the imaginative use of reference points that she is so accomplished at bending to her will. It’s by no means as immediate as Santogold, but its pleasures are plentiful if you give it the time it deserves.

    Carbeth
    Carpeth is traditional enough to please the Cropready massive, but also quite experimental too. Those new to the genre might be better served by checking out something more palatable, but for those with a taste for something more outlandish Carpeth certainly delivers.

    Owl John
    Hutchison may seem down on himself on this record, but the music is full of creative energy.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Three
    Three wears its scars where they’re visible, at times this makes for an uncomfortable and uneven listen, but when it clicks, they’re unstoppable.
    • 73 Metascore

    Bed & Bugs
    The album’s relative drop in quality towards the second half is a minor quibble though. Obits have long since made their point.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Perfect Saviors
    This is a good album, even if they’re not quite great yet.
    • 72 Metascore

    Occult Architecture, Vol. 1
    For now, it’s a worthy instalment in the Moon Duo canon and a fine record on its own terms.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    No More Lamps in the Morning
    Although there’s nothing ostensibly new about this album, the overall feel and vibe running throughout does at least give a feeling of overall unity. These songs have been given a uniquely peaceful freedom.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Colored Emotions
    The band crafts incredibly tight arrangements of complex, space-age country rock songs that require patience, vision, and time to create. Often, this approach is impressive. And, frankly, it is not always successful.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Haih...Or Amortecedor
    For Tropicalia purists, the long-delayed return of Os Mutantes will feel like the start of another bizarre, and certainly never boring, miniature revolution.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Do Hollywood
    It’s utterly bonkers, but there’s so much raw talent there, once they’ve learnt to rein in their excesses The Lemon Twigs could go on to produce something truly special in the future.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Good Songs for Bad People
    Good Songs for Bad People maintains a high standard almost throughout, but it does tail off a little disappointingly at the end.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lost Themes II
    Those not familiar with John Carpenter’s work may find his approach a little baffling, dated, and over the course of an entire album, somewhat monotonous. But they’d have never got it anyway.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Time Travel
    On the remainder of Time Travel, Alessi's Ark sounds like she can achieve mainstream success purely on her own terms.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Cyr
    CYR may be a good record, but even with its overblown 20-song length it leaves the listener wanting more, given the context of this band’s capabilities.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Junk of the Heart
    Here, Pritchard and company aim for an even more mainstream success than Konk, and they will likely succeed in selling a boatload of albums. But they've lost something in the process.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited
    Like most tribute albums, Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited is a rather hit and miss affair, but it may just persuade people to rediscover a man who was somewhat misunderstood throughout his life.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Moth
    It’s by no means a bad album, but at this stage Chairlift are strictly second division.
