    Review: Under the Sun (Mark Pritchard)

      By Aaron Taverniti   Warp Records has been on somewhat of a hot streak so far in 2016. Mark Pritchard’s first LP for the label follows two stellar efforts from his countrymen: Bibio’s A Mineral Love, and Clark’s piercing soundtrack to the trans-European crime thriller mini-series, The Last Panthers.

    Review: A Moon Shaped Pool (Radiohead)

    By Emma Donaldson This album is like walking up the stairs with a full cup of coffee and thinking there’s another stair in the flight when there’s not.

    Review: Good Grief (Lucius)

    By Liliana Occhiuto Lucius is an ensemble that can be described as powerful, modern and undoubtedly hypnotic. With the modern music scene being overwhelmed by synthesised and overly processed sounds – Lucius’ latest efforts are a Godsend for anybody wanting a change in tone.
