Panda Bear Sinister Grift
Noah Lennox transforms Panda Bear into something resembling an old-school rock ensemble, playing nearly all the instruments himself and inviting kindred spirits into the process such as Cindy Lee, Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede, and—for the first time on a Panda Bear solo album—each of his Animal Collective bandmates.
Dragon Welding The Naughty Step
It continues their tradition of blending clever guitar with mischievous sonic and rhythmic manipulations. Very much ‘80s electronica meets glam rock via paranoia.

It sees the band expanding their sound further beyond their shoegaze beginnings into one that channels an undercurrent of electronic and experimental music too.
Paula Paulusma Wildfires
Across nearly two hours (and six sides of vinyl), folk instrumentation is peppered with spoken-word poetry prologues amid sounds from caves and rivers.
Darkside Nothing

Andy Bell Pinball Wanderer
It is a mix of psychedelic melodies, Can-via-The Stone Roses grooves and Arthur Russell-style textures.
Youth Lagoon Rarely Do I Dream

Described as ambitious, foreboding and provocative, Burnside’s lush Irish folk blended with tense electronica is representative of the new Folk revival.
Bradley Simpson The Panic Years
Songs that take in touches of indie-rock, Americana, ‘80s synth and psychedelia but they also sparkle with pop addictiveness. Just as importantly, the songs go far deeper into his personal experiences: life, love, lust and learning – a diaristic collection of rite-of-passage moments.
Maria Kelly Waiting Room
Waiting Room’ is both a very real place, as Maria found herself stuck in sterile clinics hoping for answers to inscrutable chronic pain, and a dream-like, surreal space representing her own inner world.
Edith Frost In Space
Her first album in 20 years. Its hallucinatory singer-songwriter qualities lifted by her reinvention as a keyboard player.

Their second album sees the duo going down a darker, very different path than their first album
