Album Review

Brockhampton - The Family

Item: Brockhampton - The Family
Rating: 3.5

Billed as the band’s final album, ‘The Family’ is an alluring, Kevin Abstract-heavy affair. But as ever with the group, is this truly the end?

Reviewer: Elly Watson

Released: 17th November 2022

Label: RCA/Question Everything

Brockhampton have always been unpredictable. Beginning life as a bunch of kids bonding over music on a Kanye West forum 12 years ago, few would have guessed that the group would go on to become one of the most buzzed-about and forward-propelling collectives over the past decade. Against the odds, they managed just that.
