Lucifer on the Sofa

Laurel Hell
Mitski | Dead Oceans
Synth-pop blends harmoniously with indie and electronic rock on Laurel Hell. On the Japanese-American singer-songwriters sixth studio album, Mitski delivers an emotionally charged record, full of personal turmoil, as she questions everything and everyone around her.

Give Me The Future
Bastille | Virgin EMI
Whilst also providing lots of dance-friendly, tropical pop beats, the newest record from British indie pop band Bastille, Give Me The Future, is bleak, futuristic, exciting and incredibly well layered. Their fourth studio album is a tribute to tech times and a glimpse into opportunities for the future.

Time Skiffs
Animal Collective | Domino
After a six year hiatus, Animal Collective give us everything we come to expect on Time Skiffs, their eleventh and most experimental studio album yet. With intricate rhythms, and lengthy instrumental interludes that leave you slightly spaced out, it’s a truly fascinating and surreal mix of sounds.

Ants From Up There
Black Country, New Road | Ninja Tune
British indie rockers Black Country, New Road return for their second studio album. With the pace changing at lightening speed, Ants From Up There is both engaging and compelling. Let’s hope the momentum isn’t effected by vocalist Isaac Wood’s departure, as their latest record is technically impressive and full of energy.
