REVIEW: !!! – ‘Shake The Shudder’ (Warp Records)

!!!’s seventh studio album feels very slightly tired and old-fashioned, despite the kind of indie-dance floor fillers they’ve been turning out for over 15 years now.

REVIEW: Jlin – ‘Black Origami’ (Planet Mu)

‘Black Origami’ is a modern electronic masterpiece, strikingly original and promising a huge artistic and commercial future for Jlin.

REVIEW: The Mountain Goats – ‘Goths’ (Merge)

John Darnielle’s 16th album with The Mountain Goats contains a handful of quality highlights but is ultimately a mixed bag.

REVIEW: Paul Weller – ‘A Kind Revolution’ (Parlophone)

Paul Weller’s second album of 2017 ‘A Kind Revolution’ shows that his creative resurgence shows no signs of stopping.

REVIEW: Harry Styles – ‘Harry Styles’ (Columbia / Sony)

Stepping out of the shadow of One Direction for the first time, Harry Styles’ self-titled debut is confident, surprisingly enjoyable and mostly credible.

REVIEW: Forest Swords – ‘Compassion’ (Ninja Tune)

Full of beautiful yet unsettling ambience, Matthew Barnes’ second Forest Swords album ‘Compassion’ is more than worth the four-year wait.
