Hannah Jadagu – Describe
‘Describe’ isn’t just a step forward, it’s the sound of an artist finding joy in her own evolution.
Sigrid – There’s Always More That I Could Say
Sigrid has never seemed more liberated or more confident.
Just Mustard – We Were Just Here
The sensation remains a mix of dread and beauty, but the delivery is different: forward motion instead of a slow dissolve.
Of Monsters and Men – All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade
For longtime fans, it’s a tender, off-kilter little triumph.
Ruel – Kicking My Feet
Ruel steps further into his own lane one heartfelt chorus at a time.
bar italia – Some Like It Hot
They’re pulling from indie and post-punk, and bending it into shapes that feel smart and totally current.
Militarie Gun – God Save The Gun
Militarie Gun find themselves in a rarefied country.
The Ramona Flowers – Made By Humans
‘Made By Humans’ is slick but self-aware, shifting through a variety of moods while maintaining a steady confidence in its pop instincts.
Brògeal – Tuesday Paper Club
‘Tuesday Paper Club’ is loud, fun and unshakeably sure of itself.
Ashnikko – Smoochies
Ashnikko has made a record that treats provocation as pop craft.

Tame Impala – Deadbeat
The face that once hid behind kaleidoscopes now turns up in black and white: family snapshots, a gawky teenager, the ordinary mess of a life.
The Last Dinner Party – From The Pyre
‘From The Pyre’ is theatrical where it needs to be and human where it counts.
The Wytches – Talking Machine
‘Talking Machine’ is niche, self-contained and occasionally brilliant.
Avery Tucker – Paw
It’s not a reinvention so much as a return: to instinct, to imperfection.
Adam Buxton – Buckle Up
It’s silly, self-aware, oddly touching, and, as Buxton himself puts it, not quite actual music.
Deaf Havana – We’re Never Getting Out
It’s not an easy listen, but it feels honest.
Mayday Parade – Sad
‘Sad’ feels like the end of summer, welcoming in the glorious golden chill of autumn.
Taylor Swift – The Life of a Showgirl
There’s a leaner version of this album hiding in plain sight: an EP-length run that offers more than chatter on a feed.
Twenty One Pilots – Breach
‘Breach’ finds the point where ambition and instinct meet.
SPRINTS – All That Is Over
The sound of a group with something urgent to say, and the chops to say it louder, weirder and smarter than anyone else.
