    Lidell layers on 80s pop-soul production techniques for his latest studio album.

    Beautiful and bereft, and hard to listen to with easy joy.

    Jimmy’s Show Jim Noir 3o656d

    Noir shouldn’t get too down on himself, for he may just be a genius.

    Dear’s excellent fifth album delivers a bigger, more accessible sound.

    This second solo LP makes politics sound like the sexiest thing in the world.
  • Review of I Just Can’t Stop It

    Hugely impressive, technically, but too cold and forbidding for many tastes.

    The Shape of Things John Foxx and the Maths 6h2248

    Electro pioneer Foxx sounds more relevant in 2012 than he ever has.

    Ersatz G.B. The Fall 4a631h

    A poor LP that proves that Mark E. Smith alone does not The Fall make.

    A tired-sounding fourth album from a band trapped in the past.

    The Hackney popper has unwisely left behind her more oddball leanings.

    Texan trio sends a short, sharp love letter straight to your heart.

    A voice like a booze-addled death row inmate, a mind like an existential pulp novelist.
