  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    An album of offbeat, thoughtful, funny and understated little gems

  3. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    There’s nothing too radical or life-changing on this well-produced album, but as a whole it works as another soulful, sincere contribution to an often cliche folk genre

  4. 6.0 |   The Fly

    When he puts down the rulebook for a second on tracks like ‘You Silly Git’ and ‘Basket’ it becomes clear Mangan’s got some pretty special songwriting abilities

  5. 6.0 |   DIY

  8. 5.0 |   PopMatters

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions
