East India Youth - Total Strife Forever
William Doyle's debut solo effort contains an impressive palette of sounds; it is an ambitious record that almost demands to be heard.
Check out: 'Heaven, How Long', 'Hinterland'
James Vincent McMorrow - Post Tropical
From the first strains of 'Cavalier' it is clear that Post Tropical is an album that whispers rather than shouts. If you take the time to listen close, you will surely be rewarded.
Check out: 'Cavalier', 'Outside Digging'
Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow
An album borne of travel, with home at its heart. The quartet know a good hook when they hear one, and So Long... is full of them.
Check out: 'Home By Now', 'Feel'
Arthur Beatrice - Working Out
A strong debut album underpinned by intriguing vocal contrasts and a sophisicated sound that usually takes several records to cultivate.
Check out: 'Midland', 'Carter'
Wild Beasts - Present Tense
Building upon Smother's flirtations with electronica, this record weaves synth upon synth and vocal upon vocal in and out of your ears until you inevitably become entwined with it.
Check out: 'Daughters', 'Palace'
