Superfood - Don't Say That

Well crafted but uninspired and uninspiring Britpop pastiche.

Jon Hopkins - Asleep Versions EP

More fascinating folktronica from Jon Hopkins

Broads - Care & Handling EP

Intriguing stuff from a local chap

Hookworms - The Hum

Hang on, this could get trippy.

Daisy Victoria - Nobody Dies EP

A truly complex talent whose fame is already set to spread beyond our Norfolk borders.

Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways

It's still very much a Foo Fighters Rock Album

Devo - Miracle Witness Hour

This is de-evolution in action

Deerhoof - La Isla Bonita

Their formula still sounds fresh

Bonnie Prince Billy - A Sea of Tongues

It’s more Country with a Capital C.

Scott Walker & Sunn 0))) - Soused

Music for pleasure? Not if Scott Walker has anything to do with it.

Simple Minds - Big Music

Almost lives up to the title. As enjoyable as it is pompous.

Inspiral Carpets - Inspiral Carpets

Pleasant enough, but unlikely to set the world on fire.

Submotion Orchestra - Alium

The good times don’t stop

The Flaming Lips - With a Little Help from my Fwends

It's just a shame that it misses the mark.

Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga // Cheek To Cheek

The meat dress-wearing popstrel returns with an album of classic duets with old school crooner Tony Bennett. Not your usual Gaga.

Kormac - Doorsteps

I was continuously surprised throughout all 43 minutes.

Montagues & Capulets - Landscapes of Youth

Not one bad track on this album.

Ryan Adams - Ryan Adams

Even Adams’ guitar lines manage to evoke something bittersweet.

Aphex Twin // Syro

Thirteen years after the release of Aphex Twin’s last album, Drukqs, Richard D James has returned with his much awaited album, Syro.

Zola Jesus - Taiga

Won’t do much for the lonely goths of this world.

Lower than Atlantis - Lower than Atlantis

A complete contrast to any of their previous albums.

Bonobo - The North Borders Tour Live

This cheeky monkey has given us this beauty of a record

Marmozets// The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets

Marmozets are definitely on my to-see list.

Twilight Sad // Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave

Not perfect but the Sad nearly hit the sweet spot on album four.

Alt-J // This Is All Yours

If all you’re after is more of the first album, you won’t be disappointed.

Tricky // Adrian Thaws

This is a good one.

Jenny Lewis // The Voyager

It’s more of a “coming to terms” affair.

The Pukes // Too Drunk To Pluck

There's enough punk attitude in this album to, well, win a 'who's the most punk?' contest.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Hypnotic Eye is an album with plenty of American soul, the kind of music classics are made from.

New Model Army // Between Wine And Blood

It may be small, but this perfectly formed mini-album has substance.

Luke Sital-Singh // The Fire Inside

His particular brand of musical finesse just doesn’t quite transfer to the album.

She Keeps Bees // Eight Houses

This will be an album that I will be revisiting for some time.

Last Great Dreamers // Crash Landing In Teenage Heaven

Second album from the long lost but soon to return cult dandies of Rock 'n' Roll

Childhood - Lacuna

This album makes me feel like Supergirl.

Goat // Commune

Mysterious bemasked septet rock out with a deliciously psychedelic take on world music.

Esben & The Witch // A New Nature

Distinctly Gothy, distinctly good,

The Wytches // Annabel Dream Reader

Surf doom brilliance on The Wytches highly anticipated debut...

Ward Thomas // From Where We Stand

Linkin Park // The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party is ostensibly a return to Hybrid Theory, a statement to current rock bands trying to ‘play it safe’. Their debut was a punch in the gut for rock music. This? Not so much.

Twin Atlantic // Great Divide

They want the arenas and by crikey this makes it obvious.
