  8. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Foregrounds the fine singing of Katy Klaw and Rosa Rex. Print edition only

  9. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    It inclines towards a more mature vision in both sound and context, but carries on their aptitude for melody

  10. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Largely a retread of old ground. It’s perfectly lovely ground all the same – those harmonies, especially, remain as irresistible as ever

    A consistently bleak and downbeat listen, with little in the way of light relief

  12. 6.0 |   The Music

    For a third album it’s a fairly stock-standard change-up, however, its lack of punch may not resonate with some

    Shrewd production keeps things buoyant through the few lulls, ensuring attentions never wander far from its central qualities

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
