5 May - 30 May

The Orb - Pomme Fritz (1994) - "The first hint that the Orb might have taken their work a bit too far"

Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic (2018) - "the listener will encounter sustained moments of darkness and experience immersion in tense, enigmatic, and unnerving sonic environments that evoke the kind of distressing emotions hinted at by the album's overall aesthetic presentation"

Jon Hopkins - Singularity (2018) - "Pitched between heat-seeking acid house and ambient bliss"

Lusine - Sensorimotor (2017) - "chopped up vocal tunes and [his] minimalistic house tracks"

Wreckless Eric - The Donovan of Trash (2014) - "determinedly lo-fi, and frequently swings back and forth between the witty and the caustic"

Shame - Songs of Praise (2018) - "tightly wound, ready to explode, and packed with lyrics dripping in a heady cocktail of venom and sarcasm"

Grouper - Grid Of Points (2018) - "Aside from piano, reverb and her own voice, Harris includes extended periods of complete stillness and atmospheric silence"

Can - Out of Reach (1978) - "finds them going deep into Latin disco rock territory"

Can - Rite Time (1989) - "Instead of melodies and hooks, Can meander in drawn out, tuneless improvisational sections"

Cave - Hunt Like Devil/ Jamz (2006) -" shifting metrics of gunky synths, repetitive basslines and overall astral-gazing"

Yo La Tengo - There's a Riot Going On (2018) - "... capture the feeling of post-traumatic calm on their latest album"

Forest Swords - Engravings (2013) - "A well-crafted synthesis of psych rock and thematic beat-making"

Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous (2015) - "Massive, mysterious gloom led by an enormous church organ"

Goat Girl - Goat Girl (2018) - "ragged, jagged music that’s at once spookily ominous and utterly exhilarating"

Courtney Barnett - Tell Me How You Really Feel (2018) - "full of incessantly catchy guitar riffs; a keen, driving rhythm section; and the unparalleled witty lyrics with which Barnett made her name"

Wild Billy Childish & CTMF ‎– In The Devil’s Focus (2017) - "raucous garage rock"

Mark Kozelek - Mark Kozelek (2018) - "It’s a dreary record, with 11 songs that meander aimlessly through the minutiae of what sounds like a banal existence"

Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert - Here Lies The Body (2018) -  "grizzled words artfully interlacing revealing monologues, deadpan deliveries and dramatic soliloquies with a gruff ease around the delicate, spidery guitar work"

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Sparkle Hard (2018) - "his sonic palette extends from cosmic and country rock to sun-drenched neo-psychedelia and prog-pop"
