Review of 'Pale Communion' by Opeth

Swedish ex-Death Metal band, Opeth, continue their evolution as a prog rock band. 

Review of 'LP1' by FKA Twigs

I was in the lobby of Colombo airport at 4am when I first listened to this album. I don’t usually listen to albums in such exotic and strange locations, and maybe the setting had an effect on me, but this record truly mesmerised me from start to finish.

Review of 'Green Language' by Rustie

Rustie's latest EDM album feels excessive.

Review of 'Jungle' by Jungle

Two male singers, one of whom has mislaid his testicles and sings entirely in falsettos, the other of whom mutters a couple octaves beneath, harmonise together accompanied by some sweet and punchy 70s grooves and Disclosure-esque synth splashes. 

Review of 'True That' by Michael Cera

Hollywood actor, Michael Cera, shows off his musical side, serving up a selection of strange jazz and folk instrumentals. It’s a creative little album, I’ll give him that. Unfortunately, the whole thing sounds like it was recorded with a potato. 

Review of 'Neon Icon' by Riff Raff

Forget Eminem. Forget Nas. If you want expert lyricism, look no further than Riff Raff’s Neon Icon.

Review of '48:13' by Kasabian

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who dislike Kasabian's style of 'lad rock', because I guess that's the cool thing to do. Well, screw all you haters - I point-blank refuse to ride the hate train.
