Death From Above 1979 The Physical World
The brakes on DFA’s music were cut well before You’re A Woman, I'm A Machine dropped a decade ago. 10 years on, they still haven't bothered to get them fixed. A lot has changed in 10 years, but Jesse F. Keeler and Sebastien Grainger's approach to making ferocious music certainly hasn’t.

The New Pornographers Brill Bruisers
The power-pop powerhouse's latest is aptly described as a "celebration record", a refreshing take on an old formula that builds up to a breathtaking whole.

Rustie Green Language
Rustie's follow-up to the delightfully giddy Glass Swords is a record that weirdly sounds both overstuffed and uninventive, with too many ideas yet little in the way of innovation.

Little Daylight Hello Memory
Little Daylight's debut record is an exhilarating, joyful trip that you'll want to take over and over again. The melodies are catchy, the music sounds fresh and the trio genuinely sounds like they are having the time of their lives.
Joe Marvilli thinks that a little daylight goes a long way....
