St. Vincent St. Vincent
Capturing the middle ground between passion and precision, Annie Clark’s sound here can only be described as some sort of melodic computer malfunction.
Something to Tell You Haim
An album of inoffensive and enjoyable pop music. With strong instrumentals that step above the norm, the shiny production is actually surplus to requirements.
Masseduction St. Vincent
An ambitious, splintered record. Glammy schizoid pop rubs shoulders with tightly wound, rather despairing cud chewing, but the two styles never truly mesh.
Hounds of Love Kate Bush
That Bush could create something so deliriously weird and wild yet also break through to the mainstream world is great proof of her powers.
Lover Taylor Swift
Lover isn’t as expansive as Kate Bush or as daring as St. Vincent, but it is accessible and intelligent, which are the hallmarks of Swift at her best.
MAGDALENE FKA twigs
For all its instances of greatness and undeniable beauty, MAGDALENE gets tangled in its own pop epic aspirations.
Our 10 favourite singles of the 2010s
The decade had some doozies. Here were our favourites.
To Bring You My Love PJ Harvey
With Harvey it feels like you’ve stumbled across the ad hoc performance of a travelling mystic. It’s black magic with a smile.
Inner Song Kelly Lee Owens
The album is so delicate that it feels too fragile for its own good. It’s like a frozen wildflower - beautiful, but could shatter at any moment.
Daddy’s Home St. Vincent
Annie Clark wrangles a myriad of vintage sounds and gives them a stunning contemporary sheen, but it is in service of a world unquestionably her own. David Bowie and Mia Wallace had a sweet baby girl and abandoned her in South Queens.
