  3. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    The first few seconds of Paul’s Tomb are about as compelling a rock album beginning as you’ll find

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    To partner the earnest and psych-gothic style in which Carey writes, Frog Eyes deliver the only noise acceptable: howling voices, waves of super-fuzz, swirling riffs

  6. 8.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Hallucinatory narratives and historical allegories whose density are rivalled only by the art-damaged psychedelia the band creates with just a couple of guitars, bass and drums

    The band’s most cohesive and expansive LP

  8. 7.0 |   Spin

    Mercer rants like the end is extremely nigh and songs refuse choruses

  9. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    Some fabulously dense, literary and unique guitar music

  10. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    These songs aren't sung. They're performed. Mercer lives his vocals, and brings what could be flat indie into vivid, vibrant Technicolor

  11. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    Powered by a claustrophobic energy of guitar screech, stop/start rhythms, and Mercer's strange, over-enunciated vocabulary

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After winning multiple Grammys and Brits, the Isle of Wight band explore love and sexuality on their second LP – but there’s still room for some barbed put-downs The Guardian

Wet Leg  moisturizer

Wet Leg’s balance of danger and relaxation pays off in this turbulently fun listen. Excitingly crafted and dangerously sharp, moisturizer is the sound of someone rolling their eyes at how lovesick they’ve become, then shrugging before seeing how far it’ll take them Northern Transmissions

Gwenno  Utopia

Utopia is different from her previous work not just because of the language shift, but because of how it was made. Instead of starting electronically, Gwenno composed most of these songs on piano, recording live with her band in her living room. That choice gives Utopia organic warmth. The human touch is evident in how the instruments breathe together Northern Transmissions
