Doldrums ? Lesser Evil (Souterrain Transmissions)
Lesser Evil is an eerie listen, but also an up beat release that will have you bouncing off the walls in the dark.
Artists: Doldrums

Bundick?s third album Anything In Return seems like a new beginning for an electronic producer who?s music here seems like that missing link he?s been looking for all along.

Egyptian Hip Hop ? Good Don’t Sleep (R&S Records)
Good Don’t Sleep all just seems very similar, melding into one song which is quite simply disappointing.

How To Dress Well – Total Loss (Weird World)
Total Loss is one of them albums that will pull at your heartstrings and maybe toss up a few old memories whilst it’s playing as well.
Artists: How To Dress Well
Passion Pit ? Gossamer (Columbia)
It’s the lyrics that really drive this album from start to finish, the melodies and happy-go-lucky harmonies seem to have been pulled to the back seat so Angelakous can really vent.

Purity Ring ? Shrines (4AD)
A dark and haunting force which you shouldn’t be too scared to embrace.
Artists: Purity Ring

You need to view Kill For Love as more of a cinematic experience, than a musical one.
