  3. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    California meets Scandinavia in '60s dream-pop homage. Print edition only

  6. 7.0 |   DIY

    Young Dreams have created a collection that compacts all the sunny sounds of youthful hopes and expectations into one blissful whole

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Scandinavian magpies successfully reconfigure '60s surf-pop. Print edition only

  9. 5.7 |   Pitchfork

  10. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    This is not a bad album, and these are not crappy songs. But this is a profoundly derivative album, and these songs do not offer us anything new

  11. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Only two tracks after the opener it’s already applied too many of the same techniques to the same sounds. The result is that it all sounds the same

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
