Review

Despite the glum facade, Speedy Ortiz are way too euphoric and glorious to suffer for their artfulness.

Perhaps if From the Kites of San Quentin had struck a stronger balance between not wanting to overstay their welcome and short-changing the listene...

Fists might be better off with a little less country and a little more rock and roll.

The fact that this review is reduced to criticising the artist's confusion of tense shows just how good this record is.

Me Moan is a remarkable record that takes a genre rooted in formulae and clichés – country – and spins it into something fresh, compelling and edgy.

An enjoyable, knuckle-headed journey into one man's vision of perfect pop.
