Lord Huron – Vide Noir Reaction

Lord Huron's latest is a beautiful nighttime blend that's at times cinematic in nature - with the best way of describing it is as psychedelic sci-fi folk western. They may not be as commercially or critically recognized as say a Bon Iver, but they're quietly putting together an impressive discography and Vide Noir is further evidence that they're one of the most interesting acts in folk.

Florence + The Machine – High As Hope Reaction

Florence + The Machine try to strip things back for a more intimate listening experience. So there are more ballads and the production tries to be more subtle, but there's really only so much you can do to hold down a voice as powerful as Welch's.

Vox Eagle – “No Sleep No Sleep” Reaction

"No Sleep No Sleep" is not only groovy, but groovy that’s masterfully wrapped in a unique musical sheath of a few very different types of genres.

Lionlimb – Tape Recorder Reaction

Lionlimb's "Tape Recorder" is a neat and extremely interesting, albeit challenging, album to experience. It's likely to be quite unlike anything you've ever listened to - shimmering with nuanced note choices and a delicate balance of melancholy.

Thirty Seconds to Mars – AMERICA Reaction

Thirty Seconds to Mars try their hand at a politically charged record but they ultimately come up well short of saying or adding anything worthwhile to the conversation. It's essentially an album that's full of vapid buzz words/phrases set to painfully generic electro-infused pop rock. It's not a "terrible" album but it's not a particularly compelling one either.

Historian – “Distant Wells” Reaction

"Distant Wells" is the quintessence of Historian’s eponymous album and their sound altogether – experimental, spacey, dark, and yet, strangely peaceful.

Cults – Offering Reaction

Offering doesn't quite reach the heights of their debut and the music is noticeably brighter, shedding some of their darker undertones for a more generic pop album, but I'll be damned if it isn't catchy music all the same.

Historian – “Away” Reaction

"Away" by Historian is the musical version of the word “away”, but in a palpably off-beat, darker context. A perfect song for a vampire film.

Wye Oak – The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs Reaction

Wye Oak's latest feels decidedly more accessible than say "Civilian", but in reality their compositions are as dense and layered as ever, but the new synth and rhythm additions make their sound so much more expansive. And it's the interplay between the bright expansive backdrop and the highly introspective lyrics, sung through her still incredibly beautiful airy vocals, that make this such a fulfilling listen.

If the Beatles were the spokesmen of their generation, then Imagine Dragons are fast becoming the voice of a new one. They are the front men to a new sound and style that hits you with its rhythm-driven edge, but their appeal and message goes deeper than that.
