Album Review – Lana Del Rey
Many have already made their minds up on Lana Del Rey and this isn’t the kind of album to change those opinions.
Introducing… Spector
What they do aim for, and regularly hit, is the part of the brain that thoroughly enjoys it when great pop songs are disguised under thick layers of real instruments.
Introducing… The Staves
Like many sibling groups it is when the girls break into their delicately woven harmonies that they shine. They combine guitar parts that resonate with tonality and implausibly beautiful vocals.
Album Review: The 2 Bears
When looking at its members you’d be a fool to expect a crooning country album, so it’s with little surprise but smiles all round that the record bursts with catchy dance-pop.

Ahead of Off To The Races it’s the most beatsy of what we’ve heard so far as well as the most poppy, with the ‘tell me i’m your national anthem’ hook in the chorus sounding pretty huge.
