Prophet: Wanna Be Your Man
- Thawing from the cult fame carbonite and emerging with a meditated sophomore release, Wanna Be Your Man is the LA funk aficionado Prophet's measured new album. It's one steeped in the artist’s long experience and balanced by futuristic invigoration of old ideals. Backed by MNDSGN, the mainstay producer and a tailor of forward thinking beats, it reaches across the generational divide separating the two respective parties, and forms a party, in both senses of the world, in the middle between them.
Kid Fiction: Kid Fiction
- Good things are worth waiting for. Sydney producer-performer Louis Isaac AKA Kid Fiction has made us wait a decade for his debut, solo effort and that’s a long time but it may be just about worth the time invested.
Simian Mobile Disco: Murmurations
- Simian Mobile Disco are the English duo James Ford and Jas Shaw, originally of the band Simian. The two are undeniably meant to entwine their talents as musicians, they simply go well together. This is what allows them to ride the white line down the middle of the electronic music road, tiptoeing past EDM one hit genres which fall by the wayside. Longevity in diversity has kept them relevant and so we come to Murmurations, their sixth studio album.
