Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. SKELETON TREE. Bad Seed Ltd

“Even as I write after around 10 full play-throughs I literally haven’t been able to get through more than a couple of songs consecutively without my eyes welling up”

Xylouris White BLACK PEAK. Bella Union

“Indespensible, creative, passionate plus much more. A real step up from their debut. Rockier, more avant garde, and more passionate vocals”

Rachel Yamagata TIGHTROPE WALKER. Frankenfish Records

“Yamagata completes another highly personal opus of heartbreaking musical quality”

Radiohead MOON SHAPED POND. XL Recordings

“Like basically everything Radiohead has released since 1996, A Moon Shaped Pool takes a few listens to get into, but is a thing of real beauty once you do”

Money SUICIDE NOTES. Bella Union

“Here we have a band with a very different approach to other British bands; a style that reminds me of bands like USA’s Low”

David Bowie BLACKSTAR. ISO/cOLUMBIA/RCA

“Other Bowie albums may be more melodic, more instant but none are more important, emotional or heartbreaking”

Drive-By Truckers AMERICAN BAND. ATO Records

“An album for our time. Few write protest songs anymore but the Truckers capture the issues and the angst of genuine 21st century American life”

Dan Patlansky INTROVERTIGO. Caroline International

“Patlansky is rightly hailed as a guitar God but such is his rapid overall development as a musician there are many layers exposed here that will delight good music lovers from across the spectrum”

Birthh BORN IN THE WOODS. Wwnbb

“It benefits richly from continual revisits, as to do so will be to de-sensitise yourself from the anguish, and to recognise the aching beauty that lies amongst this dislocation.”

Ruth Theodore CACTACUS. Aveline Records

“It is the gateway drug to an extraordinary album that will take you on a unique kaleidoscopic journey and leave you with goosebumps“
