Natural progressions are always the best.

2nd February 2010

Race Horses - Goodbye Falkenburg

4 Stars

It should be noted that it’s a concept record of sorts…

Vampire Weekend - Contra

4 Stars

It’s a stroke of genius, and a sign of the times.

8th January 2010

Delphic - Acolyte

A brave record, shockingly left-field for a band such as Editors.

9th October 2009

It would take a helluva lot to beat this album’s honest dyed-in-the-wool indie goodness.
