Ugly - Twice Around the Sun

The UK band approaches this EP with the ambition of an album.

The Chisel - What a Fucking Nightmare

Will probably be one of the punk field's strongest showings this year.

Would be nice to hear Simz develop these sounds further on her next LP.

Sampha can take as long as he wants with his albums.

The passion that was on Hus' previous album is only here in spurts.

NO THANK YOU often feels like a SIMBI epilogue, which is to say it's often excellent too.

While it's respectable for Stormzy to embrace his mellower, more melodic side, the results sound a bit too focus-grouped.

Matt Healy and co. keep it succinct and tasteful on Being Funny in a Foreign Language.
