    True Meanings
    It will be intriguing to see where he heads next on his musical tour, adapting as he does to different styles, though time and again the music of True Meanings feels like the most naturally sourced for him as an artist now. It is very much a case of a little less being a whole lot more.

    Shelly's on Zenn-La
    His music is inventive and intriguing and has that special quality where you’re never quite certain what will happen next. Shelley’s On Zenn-La only adds to his increasingly impressive reputation.

    Lay It Down
    Though it adds no innovation to the genre, Lay It Down's tried-and-true approach should appease longtime soul fans

    Aerial
    Like all ambitious double albums, [Aerial] is not without its flaws, but even Bush's moments of failure are much more interesting than those of her contemporaries.

    Expect Delays
    Evans The Death have come of age and produced an album that sounds like them, only lots, lots better.

    Straight Songs of Sorrow
    Slight quibbles aside, there is plenty of gold to be found here.

    You Are The Morning
    Although the year may only be a matter of a couple of weeks old, You Are The Morning is already one of 2025’s best albums.

    Ojalá
    This is a diverse collection of quality melancholia by two intuitive veterans with nothing to prove except their ability to create music to invest your soul into.

    Halo On The Inside
    Halo On The Inside is a harsh, often claustrophobic record that draws you into the emotional whirlpool of its sound and won’t let you go.

    Love Travels At Illegal Speeds
    Coxon has come up with an album full of raw guitar licks, killer hooks and heartfelt lyrics.

    Rooting for Love
    Most importantly, Sadier succeeds in her aim, offering a genuine musical antidote to the cultural scars and traumas we carry from recent years.

    Love Changes Everything
    The album is a triumph and a testament to the enduring creativity of Warren Ellis, Mick Turner, and Jim White. This is a truly wonderful album from masters of their craft. Enjoy it loud, and often.

    Sinister Grift
    Sinister Grift, as the title implies, has a shadowy underbelly, a curious tension at its heart that makes it equal parts happy and sad. Yet it is a beautiful record throughout, enjoying the freedom that characterises Panda Bear’s best work.

    Fever Ray
    This is an odd gem of a record that should be cherished in a class of its own.

    AM
    While the days of the indie dancefloor hits from their first two records may be long gone, the Arctic Monkeys we’re left with now are undoubtedly at the top of their game.

    Contra
    There are some mis-steps--California English employs Auto-Tune about two years too late--but overall this is a fine follow-up to their successful debut.

    Get Behind Me Satan
    So put aside your disappointment at the lack of squealing guitar solos and take Get Behind Me Satan for what it is - another massive step forward in the evolution of a truly great band.

    Cross
    It stops short of SMD's effort by quite a way, but it's a fine and much welcome showing for a pair of self-professed amateurs.

    Avi Buffalo
    For those that can stand the fact that this lot really do possess some talent, this might be another slice of Sub Pop to add to the collection.

    Marnie Stern
    It all adds up to Stern's most fully realised, most rounded album yet, and a huge step in her evolution as an artist.

    Last
    Apart from a short reprise of the McNally-penned title track this, then, is how the album closes, and the lasting image that it leaves you with. It is a fitting summary of all that is great, and troubling about this unique, uncompromising band.

    Settle
    Even if Settle quiets the unreasonable expectations surrounding it by offering a solid collection of smart dance tracks, some songs do not fully live up to the hype.

    An immersive listening experience is guaranteed.

    Green Twins
    Lush and atmospheric, with shades of the paisley funk of Shuggie Otis, the laid-back, freewheeling early ‘70s Marvin Gaye and Todd Rundgren’s cosmic mishmash (with centrepiece soul medley)--A Wizard, A True Star, Green Twins demands your attention, in a subtle but compelling way.

    Visions of a Life
    There are no low points in this relentless record. At times it is beastly, baring its teeth. At others, it’s divinely angelic, St Purple Green and Sky Musings being prime examples.

    Damned Devotion
    While Damned Devotion is not the Police Woman at her most arresting, it is nevertheless a solid showing from a performer who always has plenty to say.

    Open Here
    Some people will bemoan the lack of a real crossover hit (there’s certainly no The Noisy Days Are Over contained on Open Here) but it’s one of those rare albums that you just know you’ll keep coming back to, time and time again.

    Dead Magic
    Dead Magic is a brilliant artistic statement, Anna von Hausswolff’s best self-definition to date.

    100% Yes
    Melt Yourself Down have always had jazz antecedents and connections but they’ve never sounded more like a jazz band than they do here. While this album sometimes struggles to maintain focus in its thematic range, the music never misses a beat as it reaches far and wide.

    Keleketla!
    In short, it’s an album that demonstrates the continuing merit of musical collaboration while also offering a hopeful counterpoint to a world all too often consumed by negativity and strife.
