The retro-futurist fun peaks with the bopping space-disco of the title track and the irresistible "Refractions (In The Rain)," while loungey sax and self-help guides to meditation smooth "On The Other Side..."'s journey to the stars. [Nov 2021, p.27]- Uncut

The smoky drawl and casual phrasing of her vocal often seems to channel Billie Holiday. [Jun 2023, p.31]- Uncut

A surprisingly moving reflection of the big issues - family, death and companionship - as he processes his feelings through caustic noise and deep-flanged techno. [Ju 2025, p.31]- Uncut

[Soulwax has] always been great at eroding the lines between rock and dance music, utilising and harnessing the power of the riff in an electronic context. This continues to be forcefully apparent on tracks like "Idiots In Love". [Dec 2025, p.36]- Uncut

Introspective, diaristic songs that make a virtue of their simplicity. [Jul 2015, p.76]- Uncut

This may just be [the] finest pop break-up album since [Justin] Timberlake's Justified. [Aug 2006, p.95]- Uncut

If there's a signpost that Cripple Crow isn't quite the record it could've been, it's that the most engaging moments here recall Banhart records past. [Oct 2005, p.96]- Uncut

Too often La Vie Est Belle, produced by Boxed In's Oli Bayston, has all the flair of an Editors potboiler, so a potentially uplifiting record becomes quite draining. [Nov 2015, p.80]- Uncut

Jeremy Gaudet's Jonathan Richman-esque speak-sung tones breathe life into protagonists widescreen-daydreaming their way out of drudgery. [Feb 2021, p.29]- Uncut

It's a remarkably seamless companion piece to her previous [compilation disc]. [May 2006, p.122]- Uncut

Howling from the eye of the storm, Scott Hutchinson's raw holler and bleakly poetic worldview remain the key points of emotional connection. [Feb 2013, p.73]- Uncut

Friko's second is sonically ambitious but just as immediate. [May 2026, p.29]- Uncut

They’ve managed to make tonal inconsistencies feel like an actual consistency, rather than being a jarring and detracting experience. They’ve wrangled chaos into submission, and currently sound like no other band out there. [Aug 2022, p.34]- Uncut

The commitment that Vedder brings to all this material, from the rowdiest thrashing to the schmaltziest ballad makes this feel like a unified and ultimately convincing project. [Oct 2009, p.90]- Uncut

Pelican don't look like metal kids - however, their ruminative riffology and ability to raise apocalyptic visions mark them out as practitioners of a new, reflective metallurgy alongside the likes of Sun0)))'s Stephen O' Malley. [Jan 2010, p. 123]- Uncut

At 15 tracks, it outstays its welcome, but in small does this is deliciously addictive. [June 2008, p.86]- Uncut

The album's refracted harmonies, fluttering synths and off-klter beats are sometimes unsettling, sometimes in deceptive, sensual communion. [May 2020, p.27]- Uncut

It's business as usual with sludgy riffs marrying metal and punk. [Mar 2021, p.32]- Uncut

Without question, Schmilco is Wilco's quietest, most disquieting album. [Oct 2016, p.24]- Uncut

The disparate elements feel abstract and abrasive in places, yet the whole is sumptuously melodic and sonically rich. [May 2016, p.75]- Uncut

Producer Ed Stasium keeps the production crisp, melodic and controlled. [Mar 2019, p.30]- Uncut

A gorgeous collection of songs steeped in Americana roots and full of breezy canyon vibes. [May 2023, p.28]- Uncut

“Poppies” is an aching, Beatle-esque waking dream, half-heard car radio for company, prime Aimee Mann a comparison. Cleveland’s distorted electric guitar, cool, Stereolab-like synth glides and dub Ethio-jazz further colour the scene. [Jul 2024, p.35]- Uncut

11 raw but gorgeously melodic songs. .... One of the least cliched [breakup] records you're ever likely to hear. [Nov 2025, p.31]- Uncut

That old adage about the quiet ones hold true for Elanor, whose debut capitalizes on I'm Going Away's fleeting ease. [Aug 2011, p.87]- Uncut
