Moby  Always Centered At Night

Not quite unshackling himself from the past, ‘always centered at night’ is a rewarding experience which will do much to push back unjust preconceptions Clash

Moby  Always Centered At Night

The closing piano shuffler with José James is proper wee-hours jazz The Arts Desk

Moby  Always Centered At Night

Following last year’s Resound NYC, a record that saw a whole host of collaborators show up to re-record some of his old songs, this time around all the songs are brand new musicOMH

Moby  Always Centered At Night

For an album which spans multiple styles and features a different guest vocalist on every song, Always Centered at Night is consistently passionate and spiritual All Music

Cola  The Gloss

An album where the energy is intrinsic and impossible to miss, but deeper complexities hide in the details that keep changing All Music

Cola  The Gloss

A brilliantly considered and concise opus, Cola continue to tread their own path despite the electronic zeitgeist and produce art of real value Far Out

Cola  The Gloss

Not quite a reinvention, but they’re still seeking new horizons DIY

Kneecap  Fine Art

Broad to the point of contradiction, it’s a record that covers a lot of bases, while lacking a singular purpose. It’s almost as if KNEECAP are enacting a cartoonish version of their own lives – it’s fun, but ultimately two-dimensional Clash

Even at this stage of their career, where they can comfortably be described as veterans, Colin Meloy and co still have the power to enchant and inspire musicOMH

Cola  The Gloss

Cola works like a precision machine and makes for an album bursting with energy and sardonic wit. The restless sonic aura they create is always searching and glows in a very human way The Line Of Best Fit

John Cale  POPtical Illusion

Bat For Lashes  The Dream of Delphi

The Dream of Delphi paints boldly at times, but the overall picture is uneven Spin

Cola  The Gloss

Cola’s music is precise, it’s smart, it’s singular. The Gloss is an exceptional record, perfect for cool nights in darkened rooms at the ocean’s edge Under The Radar

The Decemberists  As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again

As It Ever Was is as close to a return-to-form as you’d expect Spectrum Culture

Cola  The Gloss

Although the band clearly wears its assorted influences proudly on their collective sleeve, this diverse approach can sometimes hinder progress, resulting in some songs that are vibrant, complex and uniquely Cola, while relegating others to the derivative badlands Exclaim
