An underwhelming second album that misfires more than not.
The Joy Formidable prove that having stadium-sized ambitions needn’t neuter originality.
The pop shape-shifter’s second LP is a little heavy-handed of production.
The boffin-rocking trio’s debut displays dizzying craftsmanship.
Big old heaps of bombast litter album two from the grizzled Southampton rockers.
A tighter and more cohesive album than its maker’s debut – and perhaps more impressive.
Something as bizarrely brilliant as this debut needs to be savoured.
Filled with enough dark delights to send tingles up and down your spine.
New York psychedelic band rages against the machine with noisy assault.
Flashes of inspiration aren’t enough to make for a wholly convincing return.
A telling insight into its creator’s unconventional mind.
Don’t let their famous friends put you off – this is a fine dance-rock album.
