  1. 9.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Sublime and hopefully an indication of things to come, this is where Badwan and Zeffira move beyond even the skies, towards the heavens

  2. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    At first listen, this record may seem detached but its shell cracks easily with time and what's beneath proves the title to be a fitting one. A wonderful, accomplished return

  3. 8.0 |   DIY

    A luscious, rich selection of otherworldly tracks, disparate in nature but still oddly cohesive

  4. 8.0 |   Clash

    If you are finding yourself ever more worn down by the frigid realism of the material world then ‘Treasure House’ may prove to be a suitable sanctuary in which to rejuvenate your weary soul

    Lush strings, garage rock and all points between

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The influences are easily detectable, but intuitively realised. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Q

    Its gorgeous chamber-pop is painted from a muted colour palette. Print edition only

    Celestial delicacy and gruesome horror

  9. 7.5 |   The Quietus

  10. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    A charming record worth repeated listens as you drift through the imaginary films in your mind

  11. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Yes the songs are catchier and slightly better executed, and the music evokes a by gone era but remains grounded in the modern world so it’s not a pastiche, but it all sounds, well, too safe

  12. 6.0 |   God Is In The TV

    The actual treasures here lie where they take the listener on the type of epic, fantastical journey that the best film composers are capable of. Hopefully one day the pair will fully embrace that

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After the whirlwind of their debut album, the Isle Of Wight band could have capitulated to the pressure. Instead, they return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger NME

Wet Leg  moisturizer

There’s also a fluidity to the entirety of Moisturizer that ventures beyond the limitations of the debut and everything Wet Leg signalled in their early stages Far Out

Barry Can’t Swim  Loner

Loner is an easy improvement over Barry Can't Swim's debut album, and he retains his ability to craft reflective, sentimental material while strengthening his skills at making airtight tracks designed to ignite the dancefloor All Music
