The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy

What a banger of a debut!

Yves Tumor - Praise a Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)

A thematically compelling album from Yves for sure, but perhaps their most hit-and-miss collection of songs so far.

Arctic Monkeys - The Car

Alex Turner's vocal performances are the biggest thing holding The Car back.

Declan McKenna - Zeros

Much of Zeros comes across as glammy pastiche.

Yves Tumor - Heaven to a Tortured Mind

Heaven to a Tortured Mind, a surreal celebration of soul, Britpop, and glam rock, has greater clarity and flourish than Yves Tumor's previous work.

HMLTD - West of Eden

HMLTD refreshes and recontextualizes a slew of post-punk sounds on West of Eden.

Ty Segall - Freedom's Goblin

Sometimes cumbersome but mostly exciting, Ty Segall's latest album is his longest and most ambitious yet.

Foxygen - Hang

Shape-shifting singer-songwriters Sam France and Jonathan Rado make a triumphant return as Foxygen to deliver their most lavishly orchestrated set of songs yet.
