Album of the Week: HAIM – Women In Music Pt. III

Los Angeles band HAIM have received a lot of praise for this third album, which steps things up again in terms of production and complexity.

Album of the Week: Jack Garratt – Love Death and Dancing

Jack Garratt was the next best thing back in 2016. This is the difficult second album – and it is superb. There have been a couple of short EP’s/extended singles already but as a whole this album combines reflection on trauma and irresistable melodies and sounds. The Guardian complemented its “fresh sense of invention and originality”.

Album of the Week: Alanis Morisette – Jagged Little Pill

Another female artist this week, Alanis Morissette’s classic album Jagged Little Pill turns 25. Patronised by chauvinistic critics and scorned for its massive popularity, this album still stands up, filled with catchy clever songs.

Album of the Week: Lady Gaga – Chromatica

Album of the Week: The 1975 – Notes on a Conditional Form

The album titles undoubtedly sound pretentious, but this sprawling and inventive album is undoubtedly full of variety – 22 tracks of it.

Album of the Week: I Break Horses – Warnings

I Break Horses’ third album has been described as a “dream pop fantasy”, “cavernous and darker than an abandoned well” by AllMusic. The Swedish duo have created a beautiful, brooding album – look forward to checking this out.

Album of the Week: Noah Cyrus – THE END OF EVERYTHING

A pretty difficult choice this week with solid albums from Jason Isbell, Perfume Genius, The Magnetic Fields and a big one from Charli XCX (among others), but we settled on this solid EP

Album of the Week: Austra – HiRUDiN

Although the lyrical subject matter is a bit tortured as it explores separation and relationships ending, Canadian band Austra (Kati Stelmanis) have produced a beautiful collection of songs infused with pop and classical sounds. Layered synths and the dynamic beats of songs like Anywayz provide plenty of contrast in this new album.

Album of the Week: Lennon Stella – Three. Two. One.

Lennon Stella is a Canadian pop singer who acted in the TV series Nashville. We’ve enjoyed a few of her singles over the past couple of years, and her debut album brings together a solid set of well produced and performed numbers.
