REVIEW: Ty Segall – ‘Ty Segall’ (Drag City)

Its stock may be at an all-time low, but rock ‘n’ roll won’t be dying on Ty Segall’s watch.

REVIEW: Riff Raff – ‘Aquaberry Aquarius’ (NEON NATiON / EMPIRE)

Deviating from his Dirty South drawl to a half-sung, half-rapped style, Riff Raff simply illustrates the stupidity of his lyrics rather than convincingly parody his subject matter.

‘Myths 002’ feels less like a coherent release or a teaser of what’s to come and more like an experiment.

REVIEW: Horse Thief – ‘Trials & Truths’ (Bella Union)

Indie-folk quintet Horse Thief’s second album ‘Trials & Truths’ is perfectly pleasant, but fails to develop from their promising 2014 debut.

REVIEW: Migos – ‘Culture’ (Quality Control Music)

Following in the wake of some great hit singles, Migos sadly can’t keep up the pace for a full album on second effort ‘Culture’.

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.

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