    St. Vincent
    1. St. Vincent Daddy's Home

      2. The world according to St. Vincent is an ever-changing place, and her chamelonic artistry can be tough to keep up with. But it's becoming clear that her sixth LP Daddy's Home is quickly becoming a critically-acclaimed crown jewel. It's masterful stuff, says MOJO in it's 10/10 review, a full conceptual realisation, crammed with great melodies, deep grooves, colourful characterisations and sonic detail that reveal over repeat listens. A keeper for decades to come, and a standout moment for Annie Clark in an incredible catalogue.

    2. Juan Wauters Real Life Situations
    3. Paul Weller Fat Pop
    4. Sons of Kemet Black to the Future
    5. Lost Girls Menneskekollektivet

    Squid
    SquidBright Green Field

    Produced by the inimitable force that is Speedy Wunderground's Dan Carey, the hugely-anticipated debut album from Brighton-formed quintet Squid is a masterpiece . Calamitous rock'n'roll, free jazz, soul harmony and experimental post-punk that challenges you to say "I've heard it all before". You haven't. Bright Green Field is a boundary-pushing exploration by masters of a bizarre craft and eccentric impulse. It's our Album of the Week, our Album of the Month, and who knows what else.

    Girl In Red
    Girl In RedIf I Could Make It Go Quiet

    A voice of a generation is a phrase we see kicking about a lot, but 21 year-old Marie Ulven has the songs to back it up. Drawing from her experiences growing up as a queer woman in a small Norwegian town, If I Could Make It Go Quiet is a collision of rabble-rousing indie-rock and slow-burning yearning . Lo-fi heartache and widescreen ambition - a debut album that lives up to all the hype.

    Gia Margaret
    Gia MargaretMia Gargaret

    This was not the sophomore album Gia Margaret wanted to make. Having lost her voice and primary instrument, Mia Gargaret is a gorgeous experiment - mostly instrumental - that shines a light on her skill as a musician, composer and producer. Spare but immersive arrangements simultaneously ache and soothe, building emotional landscapes that rise and recede like scenery through a train window.
