Warpaint Radiate Like This
Warpaint's finest album so far. Print edition only Mojo
Soft Cell *Happiness Not
Marc Almond's slightly-too sharp voice and Dave Ball's compendium of antique synth tricks are once again a perfect pop match. Print edition only Mojo
Kelly Lee Owens LP.8
Beautifully black. Print edition only Mojo
As thrilling as it is unexpected. Print edition only Uncut
The Smile A Light For Attracting Attention
Occasionally, they favour the billowy and formless- Waving A Whit Flag goes nowhere, albeit moodily - but their best tracks showcase Yorke's song most transparently; Panavision and Free In the Knowledge are two of his loveliest in years. Print edition only Mojo
Feels more like a refreshment, refinement or even fulfilment of Radiohead core principals, rather than an extracurricular dalliance. Print edition only Uncut
Static Dress Rouge Carpet Disaster
Rouge Carpet Disaster is a post-hardcore masterclass from Static Dress The Line Of Best Fit
Harry Styles Harry's House
There’s honestly not too much to dislike about Harry’s House. It’s an extremely impressive blend between pop, indie, folk, R&B, and soul, and is easily the best album from iconic singer Harry Styles to date Vinyl Chapters
Obongjayar Some Nights I Dream of Doors
The album is knitted together beautifully by the wonderful melodies, powerful lyrics and warm musicianship that Obongjayar and his co-writer Barney Lister have created to make an album that marks the full debut of an artist destined for great things Albumism
While we all know he isn’t going to win a Pulitzer, the hooks are catchy, his vocal range expanded, engineering pristine, with sprinkles of what we can only imagine are songs that always end up on his own playlists Beats Per Minute
Everything Everything Raw Data Feel
They’ll never be easily placed in a convenient box – slap any kind of art rock, experimental indie, R&B genre descriptor on them and they’ll all stick – so when a new EE release comes our way it’s always worth sitting up, immersing yourself in their world and broadening your musical horizon The Music
As the album artwork suggests, Harry’s House is a bit all over the place in terms of logic, but that’s its joy The Music
Lykke Li Eyeye
At this point, getting a collection of optimistic dance-pop anthems from Lykke Li seems about as plausible as Radiohead suddenly dropping an album of Cole Porter covers Spectrum Culture
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever Endless Rooms
This third album from a band defined by summery sounds instead announces autumn, indicative of transformation, renewal and diverse colors Spectrum Culture
Midlake For The Sake Of Bethel Woods
It is often the case that art that doesn’t easily fit into a box is hard to frame and market. That is why we must seek it out and share it ourselves. That is part of our relationship with art and part of our responsibility as humans. This is a band that is worthy of the search Under The Radar
