The Ayrshire trio serves up some stunningly heavy guitar pop on album four.

Pretty electro from Glasgow which suffers from stunted imagination.

The Scots' second LP glides upon thermals of synths, guitars and strings.

Subtle but memorable songs, seeped in monochrome, fill the Londoners’ debut for Sub Pop.

A smeared glow of echoes, with an intimate understanding of accidental melodies.

A complete absence of originality spoils this set from the Brooklyn four-piece.

A blur of arpeggios, distortion and echo on the Brooklyn act’s third LP.

Perfectly accessible gems from one Futurehead and a Golden Virgin.

ASIWYFA prove that the loud and voiceless do not have to sound ineloquent.

San Francisco duo print starlit patterns of sound upon your ears.

Variety’s at a premium, but this is a direct and playful debut from the northern rockers.

Expertly blends heavy rock and smoky blues across tantalisingly layered songs.

An absorbing reinvention of the Brooklyn band’s celebrated recent long-player.

The Sheffield glitch-rock quartet’s fourth album is deliriously exhilarating.

Reminds us that pop and dance music can be subversive without foregoing accessibility.

A unique attempt at a self-confessed 'dance record'.
