[John Tejada] maintains his penchant for melancholic, Detroit-inspired tech-house better suited to the home than club environment. [Feb 2015, p.84]- Uncut

Organic set of gorgeously gilded songs which English folk sensibility mixes with the freewheeling spirit of Californian Canyon rock. [Mar 2024, p.35]- Uncut

There's an effortless clip... that suggests renewed confidence. [Mar 2005, p.93]- Uncut

It revolves around bleak, squalling repetitions and a mood of wretched abjection. But Gira's voice has weathered grandly. [Sep 2012, p.86]- Uncut

An intriguingly diverse "double" (well, 53 minutes) album. [Jan 2019, p.25]- Uncut

Selections from wake Up The nation and Sonic Kick stand out, especially the former's "No Tears To Cry" and the latter's "That Dangerous Age", but it's the times when he turns back the clock or nods to his influences that make the deepest impression. [May 2026, p.51]- Uncut

With Suicide's spooked primitivism and Depeche Mode's throbbing anguish as blueprints, Sartain's synthesised shock treatment is a compelling segue from his spartan rockin' past. [Mar 2016, p.78]- Uncut

This follow-up feels almost like business as usual. Luckily, there are a clutch of standout songs. [May 2016, p.75]- Uncut

The malevolent, Stooges-and-Suicide-styled noise of their definitive Blood Red River is less apparent, but attitudinal chops and unpredictability abound. [Sep 2021, p.33]- Uncut

At low levels, this record will work nicely as aural wallpaper for cocktail parties, but turn it on and slap on a pair of headphones and the effect is transporting. [May 2012, p.69]- Uncut

The duo's lesser songs may not stray from a familiar pocket of retro-soul, but it's a very fine pocket nonetheless. [Jul 2019, p.24]- Uncut

Aching pop-soul bathed in nostalgic warmth of another era. ... Yet Atkins is also possessed of a singular, torchy voice that floods these songs with genuine fervour. [Aug 2017, p.25]- Uncut

Dark Days And Canapes feels both bleaker and more robust than [earlier works]. [Sep 2017, p.28]- Uncut

This is essentially the same clutch of B-sides, outtakes and live tracks you'll already own if you shelled out for 2002's Slanted And Enchanted (Luxe and Reduxe) edition, sans the mother album itself. [Sep 2015, p.94]- Uncut

The addition of EDM and hip-hop elements to the arsenal have a reinvigorating effect. [Dec 2016, p.37]- Uncut

The arrangements are light and percussive, and Polwart's singing is bell-like. [Jan 2018, p.24]- Uncut

On “Tangerine” and “Fuzz Jam”, The Lazy Eyes strike an appealing balance between Beachwood Sparks-calibre prettiness and their gnarlier, squigglier impulses. [Apr 2022, p.31]- Uncut

Mostly it's ambient background music in search of a movie, but standout moments include the sinister Marricone guitars on "The Prairie" and the distorted tablas and minimalistic vibraphones on "Damascene Slap." [Mar 2020, p.33]- Uncut

This fifth studio release is no less diverse, hitting hardest with the Woody Guthrie-alluding title track, a raging blast of rap-hop that addresses prejudice and intolerance in the Trump era. More frequently, though, Clark immerses himself in funk and soul. [Mar 2019, p.26]- Uncut

These songs insinuate via a vaguely vintage sound that recall both Jonathan Donahue's spangled dreaminess and the (s)weary brio of Father John Misty. [Apr 2025, p.29]- Uncut

When she's raised the stakes so high, anything less than the reinvention of music comes as a disappointment. [Jan 2003, p.122]- Uncut

There's nothing here that is likely to offend or amaze but it's a classy affair from start to finish. [Jun 2014, p.79]- Uncut

As enchanting as it is, Moon Saloon can inevitably feel overstuffed, such that Adams may best succeed in the album's least ornate moments. [Sep 2016, p.69]- Uncut

Though the more sweeping likes of “Black Heart” evoke the menace and grandeur of Angelo Badalamenti’s scores for David Lynch, there’s an appealing degree of rattle, clatter and noodling elsewhere as Wallumrød and Silvola commune with the spirits of Harry Partch and Charles Mingus.
