| ⭐⭐⭐✨ | The somewhat elusive folk-rockers have gone back to the drawing board, following their massive 2022 drop ‘Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You’. Not necessarily to re-invent their entire wheel or anything, but more so to dig deeper into our shared, yet individual experience of life. It somehow feels loftier inContinueContinue reading “Balancing brevity with big ideas: Big Thief- Double Infinity *ALBUM REVIEW*”

The sophomore level-up: Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend *ALBUM REVIEW*
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Since blowing the music world wide open with her 2024 breakout record ‘Short n’ Sweet’, it has become increasingly incumbent upon Sabrina Carpenter to make good on her promises. The aforementioned release saw her dabbling in some incredibly sharp, catchy pop song-writing that presented a promising direction. It saw a sardonic lyricalContinueContinue reading “The sophomore level-up: Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend *ALBUM REVIEW*”
The Armed fall short again: The Armed- The Future is Here and Everything Needs To Be Destroyed *ALBUM REVIEW*
| ⭐⭐✨ | Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to The Armed. Not just known for their blistering screamo, they soften things up if need be. They layer cleans with shrieks, they sprinkle sparse electronics into their already eclectic mix, they work in elements of garage and noise and psych, evenContinueContinue reading “The Armed fall short again: The Armed- The Future is Here and Everything Needs To Be Destroyed *ALBUM REVIEW*”
The Journeyman: Quadeca- Vanisher, Horizon Scraper *ALBUM REVIEW*
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | The fifth studio album from Californian jack-of-all-trades Quadeca is his grandest artistic statement so far.

A “YouTube rapper”, doomed to find himself caught up in blows with other notorious figures of the scene,ContinueContinue reading “The Journeyman: Quadeca- Vanisher, Horizon Scraper *ALBUM REVIEW*”
The intention of dancing: Tyler, The Creator- Don’t Tap The Glass *ALBUM REVIEW*
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | For as long as Tyler has made music, he has sought to defy expectations. Beginning his career as a sort of rap novelist, building worlds with multiple chapters, subplots, names and figures, he was an edgy breath of fresh air post-crunk. What he lacked in polish, he accounted for with serious lyricalContinueContinue reading “The intention of dancing: Tyler, The Creator- Don’t Tap The Glass *ALBUM REVIEW*”
A competent “almost”: Wet Leg- Moisturizer *ALBUM REVIEW*
|⭐⭐⭐✨| The sophomore full-length album from Wet Leg is not so much a slump, as it is a sort of stagnation. Where their self-titled was an attempt at breaking ground in a burgeoning-at-the-time revival of post-punk music, ‘Moisturizer’ is mostly painting indie rock and pop by the numbers. Not without its fair share of rowdyContinueContinue reading “A competent “almost”: Wet Leg- Moisturizer *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Oplus_131072 | ⭐⭐⭐✨ | Pre-eminent Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have embarked on a collaborative album with UK conductor and keyboardist Chad Kelly, resulting in some of their most lush and elegant compositions to date.
