Kasabian – ‘For Crying Out Loud’
Kasabian are one of those bands that tend to give an advance summary of their new music, but sometimes miss-fire by throwing false clams out there. For this, their sixth opus, guitarist Serge...

Royal Blood – Royal Blood
Royal Blood are a ferocious, hard hitting live band - who now have an album to match.
Dry the River – Alarms in the Heart
A sublime, mesmerising sophomore album from the East London folk-rock outfit.
Jonathan Boulet – Gubba
A riotous, lo-fi rock'n'roll album with more hooks than a Peter Pan convention.
The Kite String Tangle – Vessel EP
Beats and vocal harmonies abound in this catchy but not entirely original debut EP.
Charlie Simpson – Long Road Home

Alvvays – Alvvays
A brief but accomplished dream-pop debut from the Toronto quintet.
Field Mouse – Hold Still Life
Brimming with angsty vitality and dream-pop sensibilities, Hold Still Life is a brilliant introduction to Brooklyn's newest export.
Big Deal – Sakura EP
Melodic, harmonic dream-pop from the Atlantic-spanning guitar duo.
Morrissey – World Peace Is None of Your Business
A pleasant, sometimes preachy album that is praiseworthy only for the interesting yet frustrating change in musical direction.
Woman’s Hour – Conversations
A mesmerising debut that blends raw, vulnerable lyrics with masterfully minimalistic musicianship.
Slow Club – Complete Surrender
Slow Club have changed tactics (and their tone) with their third album - it's messy, it's choppy, but it's well worth a listen.
The Acid – Liminal
Liminal isn't a genre defining, easy listening nor commercially successful type of album - however it has appeal, it's definitely worth expanding the musical horizons for.
Sia –1,000 Forms of Fear
A sobering and cinematic collection of emotional anthems serves as Sia's sixth solo album.
