  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

  6. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    A strangely compelling mixture of thudding, repetitive drums, piano, organ and horns; refreshingly little guitar is in evidence here

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
