The Baltimore band are back with more jagged riffs, anthemic vocals and perhaps a few too many ambient interludes.

“A collection of profound and epic album reviews and musical articles by former astronaut and brain surgeon, Alasdair Kennedy. Reaching levels of poetry that rival Keats and Blake, the following reviews affirm Alasdair to be a prodigy, a genius and a god whose opinion is always objectively right. He is also without a doubt the most modest man in the universe.” - Alasdair Kennedy

Double Review: 'Eusexua' by FKA Twigs and 'Fancy That' by PinkPantheress
Two albums by two UK female pop stars: Eusexua is an exciting return to Twigs’ experimental side, whereas Fancy That is a fun-but-fleeting barrage of retro club bangers.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE MONTH 23/05/2025: Guerilla Toss, Go-Jo, Humour and more…
This week, I decided I would attempt to get through the hundreds of music submissions in my inbox – some of which stretch back all the way to March. The music quality has been surprisingly good recently, which has made it harder to narrow down my favourite songs. STOP SENDING ME ALL THIS GREAT MUSIC. Here are 12 songs that I thought were worth writing about. Artists featured this week include Guerilla Toss, Go-Jo, Humour, Lawn, Lawn Chair, Those Fucking Snowflakes, Ocean Flor, 100%WET, The Dream Eaters, Icarus Phoenix, Tom Caruana and Kanye West.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE FORTNIGHT 18/04/2025: Billy Woods, Igorrr, Lana Del Rey and more…
I’ve had an ear infection for the last two weeks (I blame it on that new Playboi Carti album – which I will be reviewing soon). I haven’t been able to hear out of one ear, which isn’t convenient if you’re a music blogger. But the following songs were still beautiful/crazy enough to leave an impression. Artists featured this week include Spacey Jane, Jai’len Josey, Billy Woods, Igorrr, Frank Dambra, Restless Mosaic, Bleeth and Lana del Rey.
