    The Power Out
    It’s not so much that Electrelane’s signature film score sound has been replaced, more added to and built upon; becoming the veiled framework to a new - almost celebratory - level of contentment.

    Meltdown
    A below par effort by their high standards.

    Hypnotic Underworld
    It’s all very strange yet thoroughly intriguing, but it does leave you pondering the question of what direction Ghost are planning to move in next.

    C'Mon Miracle
    Mirah’s ability to paste candy-pop nursery rhymes over voluptuous, macabre arrangements is truly unique and wholly un-matched.
    • 77 Metascore

    Virginia Creeper
    His carefully constructed tales are accompanied by a warm intimacy, the folky-edge only reinforcing the emphasis on the stories.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We Shall All Be Healed
    Fragmented and disturbing, yet thoroughly refreshing.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Happiness In Magazines
    The defining characteristic of ‘Happiness In Magazines’ isn’t its full sound, nor its sharp reminder of what a great band Blur used to be; its in the sheer imaginative scope.

    Punk Rock
    Shows that Jon Langford’s voice has lost bite but gained growl.

    The Volunteers
    Striped of its proto-emo veneer this is sterling stuff, which - although fraught with angst - is run through with a mellow, humbling tone that is as infectious and accessible as it is true to hardcore’s staunch code of ethical values.

    Margerine Eclipse
    The band's most accessible, blithe pop record to date.

    Atlas
    Something new has been born here; its parents are every form of dance and many forms of rock, and it rolls.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Talkie Walkie
    This is evocative music. It’s beatific, charming, sophisticated and cool.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Apropa't
    Here their ambient electro is enhanced with a melange of influences that include soul, jazz and - a real winner this - Brazilian psychedelia.

    The Ladybug Transistor
    Horrid, mannered late Sixties-styled easy-listening wank.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Maryland Mansions
    Kidwell has distilled hip-hop into a brew that also contains trace elements of Nine Inch Nails, neo-goth noir and the finest Bristolian trip-hop, as well as the ever-present sonic manipulations that result from a very big iPod and a brain to match.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Obrigado Saudade
    Pierce consistently avoids the disturbance of breakbeats and jump cuts, instead rolling the elements into a smooth melange of sound that references world, dance and folk music, yet transcends all.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kila Kila Kila
    A collection of chaotic - yet charming - avant-pop rooted in Japanese culture both martial and precise, like letting blood in a rock garden.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Milk Man
    So horribly untrendy it’s a new-black must-have, ‘Milk Man’ is the essential oddity of 2004, and a more-than-worthy successor to 2003’s magnificent ‘Apple O’’.

    Ultravisitor
    This is like saddling up with a fearless, interdimensional astronaut; fasten your seat belts.

    On My Way
    It’s Kweller’s lyrics and voice that do it though; joy and melancholy combined to deliver pop as uplifting as Weezer and rock that’s as unsubtle as Kings of Leon, with anti-folk and Merseybeat along for what is a thrill-filled ride.
    • 74 Metascore

    The Runaway Found
    The Veils debut is a colossal - yet strangely intimate - record.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Devin Dazzle And The Neon Fever
    Felix Da Housecat’s shift into the wastelands of punk- funk and No Wave has given ‘Devin Dazzle And The Neon Fever’ the feel of an excursion into virgin territory.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Schoozzzmmii
    A window into the sublime mind of one of Britain’s great outsiders.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fall Back Open
    Their country-sagged beat-focused rock remains, which, coupled with some sumptuous keys and Andy LeMaster’s notoriously unnerving range, reveal Now It’s Overhead’s startling magnetism.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Up At The Lake
    Their most accomplished album to date.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Musicology
    A collection of frisky funk, slinky soul, raucous R&B and heated rock ‘n’ roll based on real songs, rather than the doodles and sketches that have recently become the norm.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You Are The Quarry
    Even a half good Morrissey album is streets ahead of the competition.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Animal Serenade
    It’s worth ploughing through the strange to get to the beautiful, disturbing, fucked-up ‘Venus In Furs’ though, worth the full five stars all by itself.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Perpetuum Mobile
    This is uncommonly powerful music, created from common instruments.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Split The Difference
    Unfortunately, whereas sounding out of place in the late 90s worked in their favour, in the mid-noughties the lack of pretty faces, Converse Allstars and - perhaps most important of all - any half-decent tunes is unlikely to bring Gomez first prize even in their local pub’s battle of the bands.
