SHUGO TOKUMARU – Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, London 14/05/2013

Shugo Tokumaru may not change the world, but he certainly makes it a better place.

Sam Amidon – Bright Sunny South

By ,
7.5/10

While this album is by no means a huge leap forwards for Amidon it embodies so perfectly the traditions with which he is enamoured, and of which he is slowly becoming a part.

Brazos – Saltwater

By ,
7.5/10

The second album by NYC-via-Austin’s Martin Crane as Brazos is a freewheeling pop odyssey, inspired in part by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.

Daft Punk – Random Access Memories

By ,
9.5/10

The French duo have not only made a career-defining album, but the smartest dance album since disco. – a perfectly imperfect vision of humanity as seen through the eyes of two androids.

Baths – Obsidian

By ,
7/10

Baths returns with a more accessible but thoroughly downbeat second offering which he considers his “weird version of a pop record”.

Primal Scream – More Light

By ,
5/10

On their long-awaited tenth album, the compellingly inconsistent Primal Scream sound genuinely determined to prove themselves but whether they pull it off or not is another question.
