Lauded as their most complete work and the ultimate Los Campesinos! album. So, as a long-time fan, why have I been left underwhelmed by it? Album Review: Los Campesinos! - All Hell 🔗 nofrillsreviews.com/2024/08/28/alb…

Released OTD last year. All Those Things I Thought I Knew by emzae “A self-assured alt-pop debut emerges amidst struggle and self-doubt” Album review: nofrillsreviews.com/2023/09/14/alb…

If you’re into the old Phil Spector girl group stuff (of course you are, it’s the best shit ever), you should check out what The Courettes are doing. A great run of singles this year. open.spotify.com/track/1FgG98yJ…

The second album from The Dream Machine is the top pick in the indie-ish roundup for the summer. “a band still finding their feet, yet they already feel like old masters” Full roundup here: nofrillsreviews.com/2024/09/14/ind…

“lovesick ballads to grandiose epics with a mix of the classical and the modern; where references to the poetry of T.S Eliot can sit alongside a WWE rivalry. And vocally, with his youthful baritone, he’s like a missing link somewhere between Lee Mavers and Scott Walker.” ❤️❤️❤️

Under the radar picks in the summer indie-ish roundup features the “Bold, big chorused, heart-on-sleeve singalongs” of The Bedside Morale’s debut EP. Plus the jazzy-alt-prog-rockers Living In Shadows - “like Nadine Shah fronting Field Music” Full roundup👇 nofrillsreviews.com/2024/09/14/ind…
