Black Midi - Schlagenheim

HANK - Live In a Cold War Bunker

Slowthai - Nothing Great About Britain

Mac Demarco - Here Comes the Cowboy

Lisa Hannigan with Stargaze – Live In Dublin

Hannigan's typically sparse and ethereal folk compositions into a sonic panorama that is nothing short of alchemic.

MEMBRANES - WHAT NATURE GIVES… NATURE TAKES AWAY

This is a thoroughly original, utterly enthralling album that deserves a place in your collection.

Jesse Mac Cormack - Now

Jesse Mac Cormack's album debut arrives as a work of scorching atmosphere, panoramic tumbling melodies and vast lyrical spaces

Casual Nausea - Demons

A month and dozens of plays after I first heard it, it just keeps getting better.

Drahla - Useless Coordinates

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - End of Suffering

Ioanna Gika - Thalassa

Roseate, is undoubtedly the strongest track of the entire album, a powerful mission statement that begins with harp and ethereal vocals and builds to a surging conclusion, complete with pounding drum machine, synth and strings.

SLEEPER - THE MODERN AGE

I’d rather listen to something unutterably awful - so bad that it makes me want to rip my ears off - than something that is merely okay. For better or worse, Sleeper’s first album in 21 years is, well, okay.

PIZZATRAMP - GRAND RELAPSE

On first impressions, Pizzatramp are one of those bands that play at a billion miles an hour with no finesse or sense of melody. That impression is wrong.

Carol Hodge - Hold On To That Flame

Sometimes, something comes along out of blue that is just so damned good that it just has to be shared

Hajk - Drama

tale of two lovers on the precipice of break-up

Earth Messiah - Ouroboros

They do what they do with some style and their songwriting is a notch or two above most metal bands

Drenge - Strange Creatures

Incisions Incisions

is there really room for punk in 2019?  Yes, punk has a place. And this is a bloody fine example of modern punk.

Hen Ogledd - Mogic

Ah man, this is a difficult review to do

Susanna & The Brotherhood of Our Lady Album - Garden of Earthly Delights

A musical interpretation of Hieronymus Bosch's fifteenth century triptych panels sounds like the kind of recorded oddity that emerges from a crate digging session at the local vinyl fair, rather than a contemporary electronic folk-jazz release.

The Sonic Dawn - Eclipse

The songs are well structured and pleasant, in a bucolic, verging on cosmic Americana, kinda way.

Bayonne - Drastic Measures

Drastic Measures emerges from the new wave of composer-musician-producers...

Samia Malik - Azaadi Freedom

Her voice is haunting and melodious now has a new strength and conviction, its music qualities honed and perfected by intense training
