    Anicca
    With this record Teebs continues his reputation for immersive, sophisticated instrumentals.

    Complete Mountain Almanac
    The friends have created something memorable here – not just to bring attention to serious causes, but to captivate and delight all those who stop to listen.

    The Ballad of Darren
    Overall, The Ballad of Darren is a captivating sonic journey that goes to great lengths to ignore much of Blur’s rich legacy, but it shows that bands – even those long in the tooth – can still continue their musical growth without sacrificing quality.

    How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars
    Stars is simply a wonderful work by a wonderful artist, which can be enjoyed with or without the contextual groundwork of its sister album. Enjoy liberally and often.

    Cancer4Cure
    Cancer For Cure is a dependably bold, powerful statement, perhaps not quite as masterful as its predecessors, but still overflowing with ideas and innovation.

    Ecate
    Despite the album’s central concept and expansive nature, it is in fact a tight and cohesive work. There’s rarely any self-indulgence, making these songs in total Ufomammut’s most direct and accessible work to date.

    Rare, Forever
    Vynehall’s potential has always been apparent, but Rare, Forever is a truly beguiling record – equal parts poignant and hedonistic – which allows his vast array of talents to shine.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fever Dreams
    This is an album that demands to be properly listened to though, not reduced to background music – properly immerse yourself in Villagers’ Fever Dreams and it’s an experience you won’t want to wake up from.

    Midnight Rocker
    Horace Andy is clearly an artist not content to rest on his laurels, and with this album he strengthens his position as a bona fide reggae legend.

    (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality
    In short, it’s classic Eluvium and caps another special album, one that sparkles, soothes, and confirms him to be at the height of his creative powers.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Archangel Hill
    Archangel Hill is another life-affirming encounter with a remarkable artist. Shirley Collins may be British folk music royalty, but this record once again shows her ability to communicate with her listeners as though they are the only people in the room.

    Something to Give Each Other
    The upshot is an album that is one of the year’s most significant and polished pop performances. There’s not a wasted moment on Something To Give Each Other.

    This Is Happening
    This Is Happening suffers no shortage of really great songs. Each track is a well-executed study in the finer points of the long form, each thumping and building, wavering and shifting in the haze of its own self-contained ecosystem.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Once Twice Melody
    Final track Modern Love Stories plays out with acoustic guitar and strings in tandem, emphasising the new textures that Once Twice Melody has introduced, perhaps not with universal success, but nevertheless there are moments here that rank alongside Beach House’s finest work.

    A Celebration of Endings
    In short, it’s no puzzle to see that there’s no revolution here, and little is opposite to what you’d expect. It does, however, prove their sky remains far from blackened.

    Etch And Etch Deep
    There may be no words, but their music speaks volumes--and is consistently rewarding and charming.

    Silent Earthling
    In this urgent, dense, ambient, technical music Three Trapped Tigers have produced something that is very much their own.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Giants of All Sizes
    There might be more anger, darkness and politics on this album but Giants Of All Sizes shows they are still fundamentally one of the best bands around at offering consolation and comfort when the surrounding turbulence threatens to get too much.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sadness Sets Me Free
    He is now firmly established as one of the UK’s finest songwriters, making an album that should be treasured through the dark winter months. Sadness Sets Me Free offers hope and light for what’s ahead, in spite of the political slurry we find ourselves wading through.

    Souvenir
    We find Omni changing the formula only slightly and having incredible success with it. Highly recommended. Underrate them at your peril.

    Treats
    Weighing in at just 32 minutes, Treats can hardly be accused of outstaying its welcome. In fact, its brevity is its strength - too much aural pummelling could be too much. As it is, as soon as the album finishes, you'll want to put it on again straight away.

    Blue Hearts
    Blue Hearts finds him upping the ante yet again.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kids See Ghosts
    Kids See Ghosts overall is a good album, and leaves the listener with a much better impression than last week’s Ye and 2016’s Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, though it can be a frustrating listen.

    Trouble Will Find Me
    While catharsis never comes, there are glimpses of light coming through at the edges, and a sense of perfect order among the chaos.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Let Them Eat Chaos
    It’s a vital record that’s a blast of clarity in a muddy, chaotic world.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Forward Constant Motion
    For all its heavy themes, Forward Constant Motion is an exciting, energetic, surprisingly accessible listen.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    In Standard Definition
    Beneath the corny flamboyance and exaggerated phrasing lies an album of killer tunes that may be mannered to within an inch of its life, but are crammed full of wit and bravado.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    No Shape
    No Shape is awkward, full of weird sounds that shouldn’t fit together but do.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Excavation
    This is an album that seeks to explore a shifting in spiritual planes, and the music reflects this by twisting its source material into something entirely other.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Book Of Traps and Lessons
    Overall The Book Of Traps And Lessons is best with a healthy dose of thoughtfulness and nuance, and while it falters on the occasions when these are disregarded, this album is another example of why Tempest’s spoken-word works now routinely amplify well beyond her poetic beginnings.
