Chvrches: The Bones of What You Believe
JUICE was glad that our expectations were tampered before coming into the band’s debut The Bones of What You Believe – because it’s every bit as good as we originally believed.
Haim: Days Are Gone
Days Are Gone is a product by a band that grew up beholden to old school rock, ‘90s pop r’n’b, and girl power bands.
AlunaGeorge: Body Music
More indebted to glitch, UK 2-step, and the bedroom producer scene, Body Music follows the cue of their numerous singles released previously, doubles their amount – you’ve probably heard nearly half of this record before – and then puts sheer focus on what they want to accomplish.
King Krule: 6 Feet Beneath the Moon
On his debut LP, King Krule is occasionally transcendental in his romanticisation of the disillusioned and inebriated living in the sprawling urban mess that is London.
Janelle Monáe: The Electric Lady
On the followup to The ArchAndroid, Cindi Mayweather the android is finally human.
Twin Peaks: Sunken
This isn’t to say Twin Peaks aren’t without their meaningful moments though, despite being a cutesy ditty, ‘Irene’ is as good of a love song you can get from a band that’s out of time.
F*ck Buttons: Slow Focus
For all the slow-burn dread and terror of this album, Hung and Power successfully took their Olympics cred and made their most polished album to date – without necessitating any sacrifices to their artistry.
Earl Sweatshirt: Doris
While the rap game is still showing animosity towards their younger generation, Earl, Joey, and hell, even Chief Keef are signalling something; the eminent new golden age.
Jon Hopkins: Immunity
Hopkins fully embraced electronics and succeeded at injecting emotional vérité into dance without gimmicky novelties.
