Album Reviews (Page 5)

There is something quietly fascinating about Red Jacket’s fourth studio album ‘Perfect Timing’. Not simply because of how ambitious it sounds, but because of who created it. At just seventeen years old, Dylan Wilson-Rogers is already making records with the emotional patience and artistic curiosity of someone decades older, avoiding theContinue Reading

On his new studio album ‘Home: Universes’, Tamer Sağcan continues building a musical language rooted in atmosphere, reflection and slow emotional immersion. Functioning both as a standalone instrumental album and as part of the wider mythology surrounding his own literary universe, the record feels carefully constructed without becoming overly conceptual or inaccessible. Across thirteenContinue Reading

With his latest endeavour ‘Mono Modern’, Xeno Ray JNB delivers a thoughtful and often challenging record that examines creativity, identity and technological anxiety through a deeply personal lens. Entirely self-written, produced, recorded and mixed by the South Carolina artist, the album feels intentionally unpolished in places, but that rawness ultimately becomes one ofContinue Reading

There is a strange, magnetic beauty running through ‘Not Here Not There’.

There’s a palpable sense of momentum surrounding der Mist right now; a feeling that the Glasgow duo have stepped into a new phase where everything is clicking into place. And with ‘Northern Lights’, they deliver a record that feels expansive, immersive, and alive with intent. From the opening moments of ‘SeaContinue Reading

Over the course of a quietly relentless career, Thomas Young has carved out a world that feels entirely his own, stitched together from analogue warmth, melodic instinct, and an unwavering commitment to storytelling. Operating under the banner of Victims of the New Math, he has long existed outside the glareContinue Reading

On their latest collaboration ‘Voltage’, Wytold & Tolk continue to develop a sound that sits between disciplines without fully settling into any one of them. The album blends six-string cello, guitar, and electronic elements in a way that feels considered, with each component serving a clear role within the wider structure. The openingContinue Reading
