Valerie June has just released her first album since 2013. The Order of Time, her fourth album, showcases her folk roots whilst being alternative and fresh. The 12 songs include orchestral strings as well as […]
Different Creatures by Circa Waves
A long way off remembering T-shirt weather in 2015 with my feel-good album of last summer, Circa Waves’ new album explores a darker sound and more emotional lyrics. Young Chasers never fails to remind me […]
Semper Femina by Laura Marling
I have to admit, it took me a couple of listens of Laura Marling’s, the twenty seven year old folk singer-songwriter and all round babe, latest album, Semper Femina, to really get my head around […]
Single Review: ‘Chanel’ by Frank Ocean
After the lengthy 4-year break between his 2012 release Channel Orange and follow-up albums Endless and Blonde in 2016, it seems Frank Ocean’s been busy. In February, he featured on Calvin Harris’ ‘Slide’, and a […]
Gang Signs & Prayer by Stormzy
This is the one album I have been baiting my breath for. With Stormzy vanishing without a trace from social media after being so interactive with his fans, I had no idea what to expect. […]
American Teen by Khalid
With his debut album American Teen, Khalid establishes himself as a new voice for the disaffected youth, as well as proving himself to be a breakthrough artist with roofless potential and refreshing originality. The syrupy […]
Divide by Ed Sheeran

English Tapas by Sleaford Mods
I owe a snug 2.1 to Sleaford Mods thanks to their lyrics being the basis of an essay last semester. Their lyrical content in that respect did not slack at all. This pairing of tinny […]
Volcano by Temples
Four years since their debut, Temples are back with their lysergic sophomore album Volcano, and it sounds like something The Beatles would produce if they were fed more psychedelics and handed a synth machine. Album […]
Broken Glances by The Pigeon Detectives
After three years, our wait for The Pigeon Detectives next album is finally over. In contrast with their earlier work, Broken Glances has a more contemplative feel, with somewhat more meaningful lyrics and less ‘happy-go-lucky indie rock […]
Why Love Now by Pissed Jeans
Why Love Now, the newest and rather emotively-titled album from Pissed Jeans, is possibly their most accessible release yet. For many bands, that’s usually an indicator of a drop in quality as well, but I’ve […]
Sleeping Through The War by All Them Witches
Sleeping Through The War is the most spaced-out and mellow album that All Them Witches have ever made, although I’m not sure that’s a good thing. To the album’s credit, as with all albums that […]
