With his latest EP, Taylor constructs a sonically cohesive narrative which allows him the opportunity to practically experiment in real-time.

Time appears to have fortified black midi’s vision, as they collide their chaotic qualities on a second album that seems effortless and revelatory.

The London jazz quartet’s latest offering is a resounding reminder that music doesn’t need many words to make a statement.

Annie Clark’s latest album is her most personal to date, reflecting upon mother-daughter issues, womanhood, and her father’s imprisonment, but rests on some of these tropes a little too easily.

Changing Colours doesn’t see the Byron Bay band go completely chameleonic, but ensures enough sonic change from past releases to indicate they’re still riding the waves of psychedelic exploration.

Squid’s debut album has lived up to the hype: it’s hard to pin down the album because it’s always changing. It continually mutates throughout, which is part of what makes it so enthralling.

In a 21st century tribute to their influences, the blues duo have electrified the track made famous by John Lee Hooker, without sacrificing any of the power of its raw simplicity.

There’s a tendency to cast Mist simply as hip-hop head turned jazz musician in a way that doesn’t always reflect the intricacies of his musical output.
