  1. 8.0 |   Q

    In contrast to Fleet Foxes' panoramic sound, this album could hardly be more stripped-down. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Thousands make natural music in the most literal sense. Print edition only

  3. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    They stick to the basic palette of rural guitar music, and while the Greenwich Village and Nick Drake templates are closely followed, this is anything but repackaged nostalgia

  4. 7.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    A very real recording, earthy and true; there is no gloss but it shines very brightly for its lack of a clean production

  5. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    A beautifully breezy debut which radiates the sunlight which it was made to be listened in

  6. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Musical reference points are Simon & Garfunkel and (friends and fans) the Fleet Foxes

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
