  9. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    After spending so long hoovering up the arts, Ono spits it all out in a glorious mess, leaving her listeners to sift through the debris

  10. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Each track is a musically stylistic island, but none so far apart that you risk drowning between them

  11. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Guesting on a Yoko Ono LP has become like getting cast in a Woody Allen film: an artistic validation and New York City-branded right of passage

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
