Bibio – Silver Wilkinson

By ,
6.5/10

After overextending on Mind Bokeh, Bibio returns to his old stuff with a new folk-y album of old-sounding music.

Standish/Carlyon – Deleted Scenes

By ,
8.5/10

With the no-holds-barred sexuality and melange of ’80s nods/electronic effects, this is sure to find a place on many end of year lists.

Savages – Silence Yourself

By ,
9/10

Savages channel their post-punk influences here with lean paeans about violence and beauty, reeling off instant classics with snarling ease.

Rilo Kiley – RKives

By ,
7/10

A compilation of B-sides and unreleased material proves a suitable epitaph to Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett’s fraught partnership.

!!! – THR!!!ER

By ,
8.5/10

An album with depth, whose pleasures nonetheless are greatest when they’re delivered with the utmost simplicity.
