The Men New Moon
Brooklyn's most consistently original plagiarists throw a curveball with this one. It's the new beginning that the name promises, but with the familiar sky all around it.
Forrest Cardamenis gazes... -
Tegan and Sara Heartthrob
Tegan and Sara's latest album finds them moving in a new direction, specifically a synth pop one. While the duo's songwriting sensibilities remain intact, the sometimes repetitive electronica holds them back from making a truly great record.
Joe Marvilli's thinks the duo can get a little closer to success... -

Kavinsky Outrun
From the Drive-featured lead track to the gaudy typeface and vintage videogame-based concept, the debut of French House artist Kavinsky might be the most 80s album of all time. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Unsurprisingly, Mark Davison played too many games as a kid...
