The Weeknd House Of Balloons
The Weeknd came out of nowhere this past March with an excellent mixtape. I know we're a bit late to The Weeknd hype party, but something this good needs time to set in. Listen to The Weeknd as he pimps. He may pimp, but he's not happy about his pimping.
Andrew Baer is a limp pimp... -
Gang Gang Dance Eye Contact
Wielding gigantically layered primal kaleidoscopic atmospherics, Gang Gang Dance are simply a little bit scary on their new album for 4AD.
Pierce Brown reviews... -
Keith Canisius The Oceanic Voyage I & II
The Oceanic Voyage proves Keith Canisius found his sound — and he managed to work it into everything he's done.
Matt Montgomery reviews... -
SebastiAn Total
The début album from the label-mate of Justice and Cassius struggles to present any new ideas.
Craig Stevens can feel the static building... -
Arpline Travel Book
New York five-piece's roomy debut.
Gary McGinley reviews... -
Tom Vek Leisure Seizure
Back after a creative hiatus, the British multi-instrumentalist concocts a faithful recreation of his idiosyncratic debut but with a more polished production.
Juan Edgardo Rodríguez has that exact pair of glasses... -
Devon Sproule I Love You, Go Easy
An inconsistent, if original, batch of folk songs.
Andrew Davison reviews... -
Lady Gaga Born This Way
Somewhere, in a country manor, surrounded by frayed Kabbalah wristbands, other people's children and unsold copies of her Sex book, Madonna is listening to this and seething.
Joe Rivers wasn't born this way. He used to be a lot shorter... -
Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat Everything's Getting Older
Aidan Moffat (debauched raconteur of Arab Strap fame) teams up with Bill Wells (experimental jazz bassist/pianist) for a truly life-affirming album. Moffat hurled abuse at the author of a lukewarm review of this record over Twitter...
Luckily Stephen Wragg is more positive... -

Arctic Monkeys Suck It And See
The Monkeys return with their fourth studio album, Suck It And See. And they would like to invite you on a journey in their quickening canoe to the hellcat spangled cavern by the damsel-patterned alley underneath the pussyfooting, setting sun as it drops out the sky of black treacle... obviously.
