Cinerama - Valentina
Interesting take on a Wedding Present classic
The Permanent Smilers
Classic indie from Norfolk group

A veritable smorgasbord of reflection and projection
Hudson Mohawke - Lantern
A bright flame at the forefront of contemporary music

A beautiful and sensitive album that is a lot more uplifting than you might first expect

Almost certainly a future classic

An album emerges which subverts expectations and turns into something worth caring about.

An album which is striking in its intent.

It's smashing.
Du Blonde // Welcome Back To Milk
Du Blonde: an evolution
Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat // The Most Important Place In The World
Wells & Moffat deliver their second classic album.
Swervedriver // I Wasn't Born To Lose You
90s shoegazers return with a decent album that can show more contemporary nu-gazers and dream poppers a thing or two.

Django Django storm back with an early contender for album of the year.
The Prodigy - The Day Is My Enemy
A truly accomplished album.
Portico - Living Fields
A consistent, blissful listen

I think I've found my album of the year already.
Gallows - Desolation Sounds
Thirty six minutes of outright bloody menace.
Amber Run - 5 AM
An ambitious album of pretty average songs.
