Rosabella Gregory, Everything Comes Together
|
This album is always going to have too much of an abrasive edge for it to become dinner party or furniture showroom music.

Arun Ghosh, Northern Namaste
|
This entire second-half run has a sustained momentum that lends the listening experience a cumulative power.

cirKus, Laylower
|
Uninspired and smoothed to an unpleasant sheen.

All very tasteful, but where are the tunes?

Ida Maria, Fortress Round My Heart
|
There's nothing about this album that doesn't make us want to leap about with a wide grin.

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis

XX Teens, Welcome To Goon Island
|
Goon Island is intense, intriguing, scary, unrelenting, demanding and exhausting.

Polar Bear, Polar Bear
|
It's a wonderfully liberating sense of release and control in even measure that makes Polar Bear such a fine record.

Ponytail, Ice Cream Spiritual
|
Perhaps the best thing to do is simply grab this album, turn up the volume and enjoy a turbulent, freefall skydive into the wonderful, crazy, whizzed-up world of Ponytail.
|

|
Wetdog, Enterprise Revival
|
This is still an endearingly ramshackle mess of a record that's best appreciated for its unprocessed zeal rather than its reluctance to break new ground.
|
| 07/26/2008 07:18 PM
|
Free Fall, The Point In A Line
|
It may be a challenge to the listener to grasp the 'Free Fall aesthetic' but the task is certainly worth the effort.
|

|
Return To Forever, The Anthology
|
If you're in the right mood, it can be a thrilling ride.

CSS, Donkey
|
Donkey proves there's life in the old girls (and guy) yet. Hopefully they'll relocate their love for that life soon.
