Cheatahs: Cheatahs
While Cheatahs' self-titled debut might be in need of some streamlining, there are a few stunners hiding within this shoegaze release.
Nathan Stevens
Shit Robot: We Got a Love
The DFA producer is weighed down by his guests on his second album.
Black Lips: Underneath the Rainbow
Uneven and unhinged fun from the Atlanta mad men.
Tycho: Awake
Lack of substance and interest plagues Tycho's fourth album.
Maximo Park: Too Much Information
Too Much Information is easily one of the most uninspired albums to be released in 2014.
Yellow Ostrich: Cosmos
An equal parts romantic and disturbing solid effort from the prolific New York outfit.
Warm Soda: Young Reckless Hearts
Young Reckless Hearts is an insipid release short on ideas and long on campiness.
Today’s Hits: An interview with Mark Perro of the Men
The ferociously hard working rockers from New York look poised to take over the world through an insane amount of touring and excellent albums.
The Men: Tomorrow’s Hits (take 2)
A big hearted bear hug of rock' n’ roll, country and classic rock.
We Were Promised Jetpacks: E Rey (Live in Philadelphia)
A noisy and occasionally thrilling live set from the Scottish rockers.
The Notwist: Close to the Glass
Close to the Glass is a frustratingly uneven album that shows of signs of brilliance drowned out by dull electronic excursions.
Band of Horses: Acoustic at the Ryman
The intimate and lovey feel of Acoustic at the Ryman is very becoming to Band of Horses.
