  5. 7.5 |   Beardfood

    The best IDM music takes on a life of its own, presenting as a living, breathing organism that gives life to its intention. Plaid flirt with this phenomenon regularly on ‘The Digging Remedy’

  8. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    They make highly listenable melodic IDM, warm and playful. Their latest album doesn't rip up the blueprint

  9. 6.0 |   State

    It may be a while yet before Plaid are able to once again make a statement with one of their releases, but there’s enough here to suggest that another left-field turn may pay dividends in the future

  10. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    Plaid remain enjoyable, if a little stuck in a rut

  12. 6.0 |   Q

    They remain masters of electronic mood. Print edition only

  14. 5.6 |   Resident Advisor

    It's not enough to dislodge a sense of complacency that feels out of step with their reputation as innovators

Maggie Rogers  Don't Forget Me

After such a devoted record, Maggie Rogers’ magnum opus is only a matter of time, a very short one, but for now… All she wanna do is have some fun and I got a feelin’ she’s not the only one God Is In The TV

English Teacher  This Could Be Texas

In a world where the playlist is king on a platform funding war, a piece of art, a piece of wax, with drama and love and frustration and discrimination and beauty and peace, but nothing is ever resolved God Is In The TV

Girl In Red  I'M Doing It Again Baby!
