(Roisin O'Connor), There’s an increased anxiety, both corporeal and emotional, running through The Center Won’t Hold, a pent-up desire to break free from something – though they never seem quite sure what. (Roisin O'Connor), This is an ambitious creation, meticulously crafted and assembled. Since then, a lot has changed for the 30-year-old.
“Gotta live for something besides yesterdays,” Gallagher snarls on “Be Still”. In kitchens, in bathrooms, I am feminist, evidemment!” I felt that spirit through almost every the clink, clunk, crash and molten flare of this album. Opening the show with “Assume Form,” the opening and title track of Blake’s latest album, he sets the stage for what will be both a sonically and visually gorgeous show. Throughout, Collard exhibits his extraordinary voice, which swoops to a devilishly low murmur or soars to an ecstatic falsetto.
(Adam White), Listening on headphones, I was reminded of the late French designer Janet Laverriere. Travis Scott, Aqua He also seems impressed, and extremely happy, that people are familiar with his newest work, singing lyrics from his new album with the same devotion as they do his older work.
Opener “Warm Hands”, from Segall’s self-titled 2017 LP, is essentially an epic jam; he grinds out fuzzy distortion and squalling riffs for a solid nine and a half minutes with a gleeful lawlessness. The bass and riff-driven “Now That You’re Gone” feels stripped back by comparison; it’s perfectly crafted. Amo won’t satisfy all of BMTH’s fans, but it’s certainly accomplished, catchy and eclectic enough to bring in some new ones. mbf830 A bit too many ppl, and it seemed like Khushi didn’t have a sound check at all.

His sardonic yet sensitive approach to gender and sexuality on “I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend” is a reminder, if one was needed, why he was so well-suited to scoring the soundtrack for Netflix’s Sex Education. Over the Celtic influences of “Solway Firth” (at one point, he seems to attempt some Cockney screamo) he issues a blistering riposte to the people he holds responsible for his negative mindset. With James Blake, simplicity is key, the music speaks for itself and the lack of movement onstage allows the audience to take it all in and truly ponder over what they’re witnessing.

WarrenG But there are moments here where you feel his rage: “Goddamned machinery, why don’t you speak to me?/ One day I’m gonna take an axe to you,” he growls on “The Axe”. “Ready for Love” is a melancholy ballad with harmonising vocals from bassist Paz Lenchantin (Kim Deal’s now-permanent replacement), while lead single “Catfish Kate” – a tale of a woman battling a catfish in a river told by Black Jack Hooligan – is a rock hit in waiting.
Maybe drunk-dialling isn’t always such a bad idea. “Black”, the most recent single from the record, considers what that word means to different people around the world, as well as to Dave.
But there’s a deeper sense of personal connection to anchor Jacklin’s lyrical and melodic smarts. Considering how few artists have such command of their craft as .Paak, he’s not wrong. Those who fell for Jacklin’s 2016 excellent debut, Don’t Let the Kids Win, will find a continuity of alternative attitude and vintage influences. In a Galaxy is a record that takes you far beyond the borders of the world you’re familiar with, and into something altogether more colourful. On “AtalantA”, she showcases her muscular vocals, which are capable of switching between an airy lilt to a deep, emotional moan, as she sings lyrics inspired by the Greek hunter goddess who refused to marry. In the four decades of Morning Becomes Eclectic, you’ve heard countless sessions broadcast live from our humble basement studios. Amo is a way of exploring that, even down to the title itself.

Epic highlight “Electric Fire” and celestial album-closer “How Can a Head” capture Coyne at his most wistful. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Her Medusa’s stare – witnessed at her live shows as well as in her music videos – has become the stuff of legend. (Kuba Shand-Baptiste), FoalsMerging their asymmetrical early math pop with the deep space atmospherics of Total Life Forever and Holy Fire, plus added innovations – ambient rainforest throbs on “Moonlight”, deadpan EDM on “In Degrees”, Afro-glitch Radiohead on “Café D’Athens” – they’ve created an inspired album of scorched earth new music that, in all likelihood, will only really be challenged for album of the year by Part 2.
