Laura Marling - 'Once I Was An Eagle'
The maturity and seeming wisdom of Marling belies her age, and accompanied with her articulate voice and clear vision of how to create interesting pieces of music, she has made what is probably one of the best albums of 2013 (Yeah, I’m calling it).
Biffy Clyro - 'Opposites'
Q: What does a kazoo, a mariachi band, a set of bagpipes and three hirsute Scotsmen have in common?
A: They all appear on the new Biffy Clyro double record, “Opposites”
Palma Violets - '180'
Palma Violets have only been kicking around for a couple of years, and the London quartet’s first release, 180, is definitely one worth hearing. The band have seemingly meshed grungy, washed out guitar, punk-style drums, plodding surf bass, 80’s post-punk vocals and both modern and classic keyboard to create an aural experiment that has paid off!
Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood Of Colour
Enter Shikari's signature blend of hardcore and electronica is kicking goals.
Foals - 'Holy Fire'
There is probably nothing more agitating in an album than one that can showcase a song that could potentially be one of your favourites for the year, and then only minutes later deliver something that you actually despise.
