COMPULSION - COMFORTER & THE FUTURE IS MEDIUM

Two arguably unrecognised classics get the rerelease treatment and are well worth checking out.

Kitewing

Support local talent. Buy this album. And watch Kitewing soar.

Brown Horse - Reservoir

It’s a brilliant debut with all the flavours and buzz of that very special gig.

Lonely The Brave - What We Do To Feel

Teenage Fanclub - Nothing Lasts Forever

Fraser Anderson - All We Are

ClownSmashEverything - Quickening

ClownSmashEverything are back and smashing it.

The Rabbitts - Love

Maisie Peters - The Good Witch

Floral Image - So Synthesised

Samia Malik - Songs to Heal & Empower

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - Council Skies

DESIRE MAREA – ON THE ROMANCE OF BEING

A true work of art that has left Pavlis gobsmacked.

Morganway - Back to Zero

BENEFITS – NAILS

Abrasive, visceral, eloquent and poetic protest noise for the 2020s.

GINA BIRCH – I PLAY MY BASS LOUD

Damned good stuff on the post-punk legend’s debut solo album

DMA's - How Many Dreams?

DMA’S have drawn on a wider palette of influences and sounds than ever before to make a wonderful record, it is an album full of joy, emotion and party anthems.

The Higsons – Run Me Down

Hundred Reasons – Glorious Sunset

Impressed or what? Read on .....

Unthank Smith - Nowhere and Everywhere

Inhaler - Cuts & Bruises

Mary Elizabeth Remington - 'In Embudo'

The Vagaband - Beautiful World

This is the best Vagaband album yet, and marks the band's progression into brave new territory, but whilst remaining true to their roots.

U.S. Girls - Bless This Mess

Rozi Plain - Prize

Nuria Graham - Cyclamen

Strings, bassoon, harp, double bass, flute and saxophones all contribute to this effusive concoction of folk fable, premonitory dreams and messages from nature. An early contender for my Album of the Year?

Best of 2022

You can check out all our gig and new album reviews on our website, www.outlineonline.co.uk. Here are some of their personal picks on music and more in the year of 2022!

Nic Norton & Alice Morrell - Killing Time

Other Half - Soft Action

FUCKWOLF - GOODBYE ASSHOLE

The Pretty Reckless - Other Worlds

...there’s a lovely, warm feel to the record and it offers you a great look into the band and their influences. It’s a very clever move.

October Drift - I Don't Belong Anywhere

BONNIE TRASH – MALOCCHIO

Perfect for Halloween but a damnably fine listen at any time.

Bush - Art of Survival

Alexander Carson - The Idiot

OFF! - FREE LSD

Hardcore supergroup delivers a corking jazzcore OST that works as a standalone album.

Editors- EBM

A band who have never stood still creatively, EBM is a breathlessly heavy step up and Editors’ most leftfield material yet

Courtney Marie Andrews - Loose Future

KING BUFFALO - REGENERATOR

Decent if unremarkable album for those that like their prog a little on the heavy side 

The Unthanks - Sorrows Away
