  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Strands isn't so much about anything alien as it is about the sublime frontierism we project out into it
    Read Review

  2. 8.2 |   Resident Advisor

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    One of Hauschildt's finest efforts, unfolding through a dense fog of ambience and gently bubbling electronics. Print edition only

  5. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    The Cleveland electronic musician has refined his minimalist techno to a frictionless peak. The keyboard patches on his latest are so physical that you can imagine holding them in your hand

  6. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    It’s hard to imagine why a fan of the genre wouldn’t find much to enjoy in this gorgeous and well-executed record

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
