Review: Metronomy – Metronomy Forever
As their most expansive album ever, Metronomy’s sixth album Metronomy Forever is the electronic act’s magnum opus, or at least tries to be.

Review: Friendly Fires – Inflorescent
On third album Inflorescent, Friendly Fires mark their return with their most danceable (and most mindless) album yet.

Review: Hot Chip – A Bath Full of Ecstasy
A Bath Full of Ecstasy is a compelling album that has some of Hot Chip’s best dance tracks to date, but it often falls back into comfortable territory for the group.

Review: Foals – Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1
Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1’s skillful incorporation more of electronic elements than Foals have ever used before will leave you pumped for volume 2.

Review: !!! – Shake the Shudder
The ungoogleable band !!! (pronounced ‘chk-chk-chk’) has long been a prime candidate for a “best of” album. Their studio albums to date have been decent enough, but each contained one or two tracks that blew all the others clear out of the water. Just to name some examples, their self-titled album had “KooKooKa Fuk-U,” Louden

Review: The xx – I See You
For a band that seemingly emerged out of nowhere, the xx have made an impressive impact. Their 2009 debut xx received unanimous critical acclaim and won the 2010 Mercury Prize, despite relatively little radio play and the absence of any singles that could be called a “hit.” More importantly, the band’s sound became highly influential
