Fourteenth studio album from the pioneering electronica producer Tom Jenkinson
6.9
One of the more purely enjoyable electronic music records released in a terribly long time Read Review
There are times when Damogen Furies is as blistering as it is compelling Read Review
This is an album to file alongside Aphex Twin’s ‘Syro’: one-of-a-kind electronic artist returns reinvigorated and still way ahead of the game Read Review
If you’re up for the challenge Damogen Furies is a steaming black shot of adrenaline. Read Review
The craftsmanship speaks of deep love and high-level musicality. Print edition only
It has to be hoped that the electronica scene’s clean-cut and fresh-faced young things are listening closely Read Review
Jenkinson is in (the Squarepusher version of) pop mode Read Review
What a thrill ride this is; even when the feeling of wheels rolling against the road becomes mundane, there’s always a series of twists and turns waiting ahead Read Review
Often tawdry and occasionally remarkable, Damogen Furies is a scattershot release, but one that's definitely worth exploring Read Review
With Damogen Furies, the results of his strange ways lead to moments of slack-jawed befuddlement as much as awestruck astonishment Read Review
It's undeniably good stuff and will please existing fans of the man's work but for an artist formerly synonymous with innovation, Damogen Furies digs its heels into well-trodden ground Read Review
Intriguing to observe, hard to handle Read Review
Wave after wave of brutal beats Read Review
Ythough Damogen Furies is certainly not for the faint-hearted nor is it quite the Pandora’s box you might expect Read Review
Visceral, if not always listenable. Print edition only
Makes for a difficult, at points traumatic, listen. Worst of all, you don’t get the impression Jenkinson is having much fun either. Perhaps that’s the point Read Review

Squarepusher: Damogen Furies
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
Parcels Loved
While not for cynics, LOVED is a late-summer delight that comes at audiences with open arms. Comfortable dancing shoes recommended for listening All Music
Parcels have built something contagious here, with a joy that leaves you feeling that little bit lighter when you’re done with it Dork
Loved is a departure for Parcels but one that is constantly invigorating, the group are clearly incredibly relaxed and that is reflected in the calming, and highly enjoyable soundscape they have created on this record The Line Of Best Fit
The star of this entire record is without question the harmonies. They are razor sharp, technically astounding and forever charming, leaving you wanting more of them at the close of every song Far Out
Maruja Pain To Power
They really have taken a complicated moment and made it into a fantastic piece of music Far Out
Incredible lead single Look Down On Us is just one of three tunes here that capture Maruja’s free-flowing approach by stretching out to the 10-minute mark Kerrang!
The Manchester jazz-punks let loose on their savage debut album through cathartic outpourings of fury, despair and love NME
The thrill of this band is the extremes. From moshpits one minute and silence the next, they are in command with their music, unifying the crowd God Is In The TV
This band and this record want you to punch a hole in the wall, ask if you're willing to step through it – and then beckon others to do the same The Line Of Best Fit
Maruja emerge from the studio with raucous rap-rock and meandering jam music in tow, resulting in an album full of the same songs several times over. By the end, listeners may feel they have deja vu. Fans may feel they have dementia The Quietus
Rage-infused music of dissolution Clash
