Kelly Moran's
'Don’t Trust Mirrors'
Applying modern techniques to classical composition brings us to a deep sense of satisfaction. There's love within this album's closure, warmth in its completeness.

Jennifer Reid's
'The Ballad Of The Gatekeeper'
The first half presents old songs and asks you to fit them, acapella, to modern contexts. The second gives us new problems and reveals that they always existed by framing them in old forms. It's a wise and honest folk album.

Traidora's
'Una Mujer Trans Sin País'
Hard, fast and noisy punk raging against a world which is building prejudice against trans folk simply being.

Hyperreal presentation of period British indie... well read and perfectly executed.

Lyra Pramuk's
'Hymnal'
Songs which aim to evoke the emotional states common to both devotional music and raving. It needs to take a stance, to decide on worship or transcendence.

Mei Semones'
'Animaru'
Tinkling laughter while hop-scotching sun-dappled rainwater puddles. A carefree promenade through new emotions in stylish sixties light-entertainment.

Rattle's
'Encircle'
Two drummers augment themselves with repeated vocal refrains to capture hypnotic grooves which tear down genre fences in service of spells of stretched moments.

MIKE's
'Showbiz!'
The innovation here is the use of samples to inject more extreme emotions into MIKE's laidback observations. Themes are established by mood and skit, then a rapped story is weaved to establish calm narrative.

Melvin Gibbs'
'Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2'
The ominous opener and glomming of dark d&b sounds a ragdoll cascade into busy jazz.

Rafael Toral's
'Travelling Light'
A migration of the synthetic birb from last year's pastoral setting to a more polluted environment of neon and guitar inflected ambient jazz.

Gelli Haha's
'Switcheroo'
Perfect synth-pop wiggles its white jeans on trainer-shod roller skates while twirling the straw in a strawberry ice-cream and dandelion & burdock float's with its pink-pink tongue... and you blush.

Throwing Muses'
'Moonlight Concessions'
The fuse burns down half way through 'Moonlight Concessions'; half way through 'Albatross'. The implosion gives more focus, higher density: Hersh's howl, percussion-cap guitars, a wisp tailed cello combine to form rending, whirling inertia.

Worldpeace DMT's
'The Velvet Underground & Rowan'
Sometimes at a childs' party you wonder how the entertainer ended up there. That's the day job. This is the artistic endeavour.

The Necks'
'Disquiet'
Like mountain weather, The Necks trio roll implacably through glinting rays, the plink of melt, a chatter of edge on slate. A three hour tour of mood evolution.

Jade's
'That’s Showbiz Baby!'
The Faustian pact played out as adulation and attention in return for the horrors of showbiz documented as modern fables in a perfect popout cake. A wise and glistening delight.

A live recording of Neptunian Maximalism's three movement psychedelic concept of the mystical. Judgement Hall are peerless at creating communal experiences which are hard to capture on record.

Anna von Hausswolff's
'Iconoclasts'
von Hausswolf sounds like she's pick sliding the scars of her vocal chords in delivering the resigned truth of gothic blues. Features, collabs and orchestration make for a compelling and epic album.

Messa's
'The Spin'
Stadium appropriate rock at a level of precision and professionalism that calls to mind world bestriding spandex. There are enough modern touches to avoid reminiscence and Sara Bianchin's voice is wondrous.

Lucy Liyou's
'Every Video Without Your Face, Every Sound Without Your Name'
You gaze around the piano bar, order a bottle of overpriced whiskey and the detail of electronic noise and autotune make the anxiety, relief and hope of sharing your feelings with a new love mattter.

Orcutt Shelley Miller's
'Orcutt Shelley Miller'
A storied rhythm section provide a sturdy bench for the singing guitar to wring out its songs. Filed and struck, sawn and turned. Psychedlic swarf and blued bars spun across the workshop floor.

'GULP'
A collection of production studies unified under a satin sheen. It's the soundtrack to a brand sponsored party on a middle class activity holiday.

Pulp's
'More'
You smirk at the corruscating wit, shake it to the northern soul, sing-a-long to the anthemic homily and hit the traps Pulp map because you miss the satire.

Rien Virgule's
'Berceuses des Deux Mondes'
This sounds like a fork of space... there are recognisable motifs and musical conventions and yet it sounds so otherworldly. Chirrups and marching bands, dances and lullabies bring us to the courts and communes of another place.
