Album Review

Austin four-piece The Black Angels have been at the forefront of the neo-psychedelia movement for the best part of a decade.

In truth, _The Ascent_ doesn’t actually feel like a Wiley record.

A perfect synthesis of form and content, translating loneliness into 20 minutes of unrelenting intensity.

The Leisure Society have certainly woven a kind of magic here, but with all their era-hopping it falls a little short of the climaxes of their live...

Still bitter. Still brilliant. Still here.

Tomorrow's World make emotional, Radio 2-ready electronic pop with enough letting go of the handrail to remind you they’re onto something original.
