A Place To Bury Strangers - Pinned

Review by Radhika Takru

An APTBS-shaped void in our collective hearts where the unapologetically, unforgivingly brutal band once was»

The Radio Dept. - Running Out of Love

Review by Radhika Takru

Musically it's 4 am in the Hacienda. Emotionally, it's dawn on the last day of your life»

Thom Sonny Green - High Anxiety

Review by Radhika Takru

It's not flawless and it's not a masterpiece - but few souls are»

103968

The Verve - A Storm in Heaven/A Northern Soul (2016 remastered/deluxe)

Review by Radhika Takru

A six-hour-vortex into the best the Verve have ever been»

103081

Night School - Blush

Review by Radhika Takru

You'd be forgiven for believing, on your first listen, that Blush is the same track repeated ten times over»

Nothing - Tired of Tomorrow

Review by Radhika Takru

Nothing shine a stark white light on reality. As they always have»

Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls

Review by Radhika Takru

An album that wouldn't be out of place if it had come out 30 years ago»

95667

Pure X - Angel

Review by Radhika Takru

You could listen to their heartbroken exhalation indefinitely.»

95067

Black Hearted Brother - Got Your Love

Review by Radhika Takru

Got Your Love radiates the present and remains refreshingly nostalgia-free.»

94547

The Notwist - Close to the Glass

Review by Radhika Takru

Close to the Glass isn't quite the luxurious auditory and emotional jacuzzi The Notwist's albums have been in the past. It's more a wading pool made of obligation and diffidence.»

92542

God Is An Astronaut - Origins

Review by Radhika Takru

God is an Astronaut is the most human post-rock has ever been.»

91904

Medicine - To the Happy Few

Review by Radhika Takru

Medicine have created an album for their listeners. They should have done it for themselves.»

91043

Field Harmonics - Walls

Review by Radhika Takru

Walls suffers the same fate as the bands it ends up honoring - it can never be called 'beautiful'. But it gives you nothing to complain about. It's a capable, though not expert, guide leading you through a time that you never forgot.»

91017

Ghost Outfit - I Want You to Destroy Me

Review by Radhika Takru

The album is called I Want You To Destroy Me and all it wants to do is live.»

90539

Thought Forms - Ghost Mountain

Review by Radhika Takru

No-wave, drone, shoegaze, lo-fi, post-metal - the something-for-everyone Ghost Mountain is difficult not to like. But that’s also the reason it’s difficult to love.»

89265

Gnod - Chaudelande

Review by Radhika Takru

Chaudelande is what it is - it asks questions and doesn't expect answers.»

84102

A Place To Bury Strangers - Worship

Review by Radhika Takru

'Leaving Tomorrow' with its companions from the beginning of the album - 'Alone', 'Mind Control' and, most significantly, 'You Are The One' are the ones that still serve to act as reminders of how there's music in almost any object.»

83658

Silversun Pickups - Neck of the Woods

Review by Radhika Takru

A snip here, a clip there – you’ll be left with a far more enjoyable recording.»

81686

A Place To Bury Strangers - Onwards to the Wall EP

Review by Radhika Takru

It is unmistakeably A Place To Bury Strangers and they're giving us what we want.»

76566

Epic 45 - Weathering

Review by Radhika Takru

Plays as if it were a storybook.»

68448

thisquietarmy - Vessels

Review by Radhika Takru

The familiar frosty, somewhat feminine charms of past efforts have been drastically abandoned. Vessels is stereotypically masculine - but not brutishly so.»

66261

Various - 3...2...1... A Rocket Girl Compilation

Review by Radhika Takru

Rocket Girl is a label that adheres so steadfastly to the OG concept of 'independent' that it may well be just one person putting out whimsical mixtapes for no selfish purpose aside from having us share with her her treasures. »

64723

The Notwist - Neon Golden / On/Off The Record (Deluxe Edition)

Review by Radhika Takru

There is not a single wasted note on the record.»

62060

Autolux - Transit Transit

Review by Radhika Takru

Where Future Perfect knocked us right off our feet, Transit Transit doesn't seem to have the energy to even push us slightly to the left. »

60665

Kula Shaker - Pilgrims Progress

Review by Radhika Takru

Pilgrims Progress is an album with a plan. »

jj - jj nº 3

Review by Radhika Takru

Puffed up with an assortment of psychoactives, it lies semi-stupefied and mumbles incoherently for most of its duration, waking up just in time to shuffle dazedly out the door leaving half its belongings behind.»

Serena Maneesh - S-M 2: Abyss in B Minor

Review by Radhika Takru

Ignore S-M 2's cliquey aura, for it is more a facade than anything. Make your way past the defensive drone it puts up and you will be rewarded with warm, welcoming fuzz. Abyss in B-Minor isn't elitist or an acquired taste, it's just a little guarded. Put your trust in Serena Maneesh and they will reward you by making you feel powerful - nearly omnipotent - yet simultaneously sedate. »

Memory Tapes - Seek Magic

Review by Radhika Takru

O how you vex me, Dayve Hawke. You vex me because I know you are just one person, yet two of your three alter egos have names in t»
