Sharon Van Etten Remind Me Tomorrow

"On her fifth album, Sharon Van Etten conjures tempests and explores their subsequent calms. It is the peak of her songwriting and her most atmospheric, emotionally piercing album to date.” - Pitchfork

Inter Arma Sulphur English

"Inter Arma see beauty in destruction. Whether it’s the flame-swallowed tree on the album cover or a sky burial, devastation and decay continue to inspire creation. Debut LP Sundown pictured a world where, like Revelations, humanity atones for its collective indiscretions. Sulphur English makes you wonder if flowers later sprouted from Gomorrah’s ashes.” - Decibel

Black Midi Schlagenheim

Schlagenheim is about the riffs, that indelible meat of guitar rock. All of the members excel to this end, but Morgan Simpson’s ludicrously excellent drumming sticks out.” - Tiny Mix Tapes
