REVIEW: Cloud Nothings – ‘Life Without Sound’ (Wichita)

‘Life Without Sound’ sees Dylan Baldi’s Cloud Nothings re-invent themselves once again for their fourth record.

REVIEW: Loyle Carner – ‘Yesterday’s Gone’ (AMF / Universal)

‘Yesterday’s Gone’ proves to be a debut album worthy of the hype surrounding young British talent Loyle Carner.

REVIEW: The Proper Ornaments – ‘Foxhole’ (Tough Love)

The Proper Ornaments’ second LP ‘Foxhole’ grows naturally out of their debut, full of retro charm indebted to the very best of the 1960s.

REVIEW: Foxygen – ‘Hang’ (Jagjaguwar)

‘Hang’ frequently sounds brilliant, but Foxygen’s noise is occasionally weightless.

REVIEW: The Flaming Lips – ‘Oczy Mlody’ (Warner Bros.)

Whilst some may have hoped for an experimental masterpiece, or a piece of psych-pop bliss, on Ozcy Mlody, the Flaming Lips have kept true to their Terror sound.

REVIEW: Wiley – ‘Godfather’ (CTA Records)

Having done so much to popularise grime as we know it today, Wiley’s 11th and final album ‘Godfather’ sees him bow out in style.

REVIEW: SOHN – ‘Rennen’ (4AD)

While the production quality and ambition is high throughout ‘Rennen’, Christopher Taylor fails to showcase anything particularly interesting that we have not heard elsewhere, and done better.
