Album Review: April's Top Of The Pops



April was a busy month, but there was still time to listen to some real quality...

Cybiont: 'Angels And Demons' (rating 8.25/10)
Often, when a an album is classified as "intriguing" it usually means the same as when you classify a girl as "friendly". However, in the case of Cybiont's 'Angels and Demons' such euphemisms go flying out of the window. In fact this album goes beyond intriguing, it is fabulously fascinating. Read more.


Los Planetas: 'Una Opera Egipcia' (rating 9/10)
15 years on, lead singer J and Co. have once again managed to surpass that expectation and produce another album, their eighth, which can only serve to convince their legion of unconditional fans that they are from another dimension. Read more.





Caribou: 'Swim' (rating 7/10)
Hypnotic rhythms combine with thumping bassline grooves (check out 'Leave House') on Canadian Dan Snaith's third release.





Klaus & Kinski: 'Tierra Trágalos' (rating 7/10)
Quirky pop from this Murcian combo, who are making quite a name for themselves across Spain. Needs a couple of listens to get used to it.





Kyte: 'Dead Waves' (rating 7.5/10)
Delicate lyrics with emotive melodies result in a more than acceptable album, especially if you're feeling poignant.





Chew Lips: 'Unicorn' (rating 7/10)
Promising debut from London-based electro-pop trio. Some of the singles are destined to be dancefloor favourites this summer.
