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.
Snuggle – Goodbyehouse
‘Goodbyehouse’ doesn’t offer comfort; it offers honesty.
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.
Good Neighbours – Blue Sky Mentality
‘Blue Sky Mentality’ is indie-pop at its most open-hearted.
Olivia Dean – The Art of Loving
‘The Art Of Loving’ is Olivia Dean’s ascension to the very top of Mount Pop.
VLURE – Escalate
‘Escalate’ is the final clarion call for what VLURE are really about.
Joy Crookes – Juniper
She’s never been afraid of feeling, no matter how scary it might seem.
Coach Party – Caramel
The Isle of Wight quartet pin down all the messy bits of being alive: having a crush, being exhausted, pushing through the fog.
KennyHoopla – conditions of an orphan// EP
KennyHoopla sheds the weight of expectation and reshapes his own creative world.

Eades – Final Sirens Call
A pleasant, polished listen, rooted in a very specific kind of indie.
Nation of Language – Dance Called Memory
A record that highlights how moments of struggle can draw us closer.
The Favors – The Dream
As theatrical, tender and quietly devastating as you’d hope.
NewDad – Altar
You can hear the homesickness in the lyrics, and the fresh air of Galway.
Lola Young – I’m Only Fucking Myself
Some of the most distinct, personality-packed pop around.
JADE – THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!
Bold strokes, messy joins, songs that lurch and clash and dazzle, it’s an album that insists on being an event.
The Beths – Straight Line Was a Lie
The Beths have made their most mature, most incisive album yet.
King Princess – Girl Violence
King Princess levels up in every direction – louder, funnier, hornier, sadder, and, crucially, freer.
Mimi Webb – Confessions
For all the fun, there’s no escaping the heartache that saturates the album.
Parcels – Loved
They’ve tried on different versions of themselves across over a decade as a band, but the iteration of them on ‘LOVED’ feels like the truest yet.
Ho99o9 – Tomorrow We Escape
‘Tomorrow We Escape’ is a declaration of survival, rage and identity.
