  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    An eclectic and wide-ranging endeavour that sprawls over sixteen tracks but successfully keeps the hits outweighing the misses

  2. 8.0 |   The List

    Their abundant third long-player is a complex, picturesque tapestry of pirate tales, half-remembered fables and fertile, orchestral serenades

    Refreshingly breathtaking, this is an album to fall in love with

  4. 8.0 |   NME

    Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Such is the craft of Hamilton's songwriting that the record's length is easily passed over. Throw in his ability to rustle up a few lyrical gems and a slow burning treat is the delightful result

  6. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    He remains in the sublime orchestral pop world that made his previous album, Treasury Library Canada, such a delight

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Hamilton’s best record yet. His indie folk orchestrations have never been more dynamic, his melodies more catchy, nor his production more rich

  8. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A subtly evolutionary record rather a shock to Woodpigeon’s sound, Die Stadt Muzikanten has the band essentially using the same tricks as before to cover new ground

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  10. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Essentially the record is five tracks too long and half a front man shy of what it really needs. It’s listenable, enjoyable but ultimately it pulls up just short

  11. 4.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Listening to Die Stadt Muzikanten is like being in a high-maintenance relationship: it takes too much effort to enjoy, and gives too little reward

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

On the uncomfortable paths of the 28-year-old’s fourth album, slam-dunk bangers are substituted with reinvention and restraint surrendered through hushed, reflective, and carnal synth-pop vestiges Paste Magazine
