REVIEW: Jamiroquai – ‘Automaton’ (Virgin EMI)

Jay Kay and Jamiroquai have been away for seven years, but absolutely nothing has changed on their eighth album.

REVIEW: Soulwax – ‘FROM DEEWEE’ (P.I.A.S.)

The Dewaele brothers deliver the first proper Soulwax album in 13 years, and while their sound may now be a little dated, it’s still thrilling.

REVIEW: GoldLink – ‘At What Cost’ (RCA)

After two acclaimed mixtapes, GoldLink makes his major label debut with the solidly enjoyable ‘At What Cost’.

REVIEW: Anohni – ‘Paradise’ EP (Rough Trade)

A companion piece to ANOHNI’s ‘Hopelessness’ album last year, ‘Paradise’ is thought-provoking, politically relevant and musically exhilarating.

REVIEW: Pulled Apart By Horses – ‘The Haze’ (Caroline International)

On their fourth album and first with their new drummer, Pulled Apart By Horses continue to be one of the most consistently entertaining guitar bands in Britain.

REVIEW: Spoon – ‘Hot Thoughts’ (Matador)

The evolution of Spoon has proven to be a joy to behold, with every album subtly reinventing just what the band is and ‘Hot Thoughts’ is no different.
