Courting - Guitar Music

A thematically poignant, lyrically sharp and sonically surprising statement piece.

Rina Sawayama - Hold The Girl

An eclectic palette of bombastic, heart-on-sleeve euphoric pop and angsty dancefloor fillers.

Starcrawler - She Said
3 Stars
As an album, ‘She Said’ is fine. Still, what’s rock‘n’roll about making music that doesn’t frequently get beyond fine?

Whitney - SPARK
3 Stars
A jarring change: not one from that familiar warmth to icy cold, but only halfway, a sort of uncomfortable mild chill.

Marcus Mumford - (self-titled)

September 7, 2022 7:57am
Santigold - Spirituals
3-5 Stars
Not so much reigniting the spark that drew so many to her sound first time around, but a decent job of drawing a line from old to new and updating it.
September 7, 2022 7:55am
Preoccupations - Arrangements
3-5 Stars
It takes a while for Preoccupations to find their new groove.
September 7, 2022 7:54am

An unashamedly brash and confident record, but much more subtle and realistic.
September 7, 2022 7:52am

Its wares pick up where its predecessor left off but without adding too much extra to the mix.

A little mixed.
August 24, 2022 7:58am
