Album Review

The most daring, fully realised LP to emerge from Ireland this year, and it’s hard to imagine it being topped

Chvrches may declare that love is dead; but you just fell right back into it

A piece of art intimately descriptive of her personal fear of death and how it links to the songwriter process and her thirst for immortality

Stephen Malkmus and his band show no signs of either running out of creativity or falling back on former glories

A grander offering

There is no urgent message here, but there is something beautifully comforting in the human humility and musical modesty
