Royal City has moved from being a band that hinted at greatness with their debut to an act that fully realized that potential in one enormous step.

Nathan Amundson has quietly established himself as a singer/songwriter to watch.

As a fan of all things drone-y, blissed out, and dreampop, this one hit the sweet spot.

AMP has indeed changed their sound, and not managed to totally disappoint in doing it.

Perception’s strength lies in the fact that it takes seemingly unrelated sound sources and combines them into glorious music.

One of the hardest things of all to understand about this album is why it sounds so much like everything the people in the songs want to escape.

Guaranteed to open up a new fanbase for Gomez while still appealing to the already impressive and varied one they have accumulated over the years.

The mix of bizarre sonics, lyrical freakshows, and normal songcraft definitely feed off each other.

A crucial album to restore your faith in the music industry.

In truth, Frazer’s voice is what truly sells this album for me.

Throughout Finally We Are No One, Múm never lets you forget that live, starry-eyed, wonder-filled humans are behind the music.

What Mogwai do really, really well is conjure a sense of euphoric aggression.

Lush always focused more on the ‘pop’ side of the ‘dreampop’ equation.

These are solid songs, songs that could definitely benefit from a little more depth in the studio, if only to polish the edges.

One of the best things going in the alt-country scene today.

Breather has a rich atmospheric sound that’s anchored down and energized by its darker currents.

Expect great things from Williamson in the future, and the future is now.

But where most worship albums leave me cold, this one doesn’t, and the reason for that is simply Pritzl’s writing.

Indeed, you really can lose yourself in this.
