The best albums in 2014’s first quater
Cheatahs: Self Titled
Released: 10/02/14
Lead Single: Cut The Grass
My Fave: Get Tight
“A blend of ecstatic noise, ambient drone and visceral, ear-splitting alt-rock, combined with lyrics that touch on the complexities of relationships, nature, the city, memory, dislocation and self-identity, the self-titled record displays a giant creative leap from the lo-fi fuzz of the band’s first two EPs.” – Wichita
Temples: Sun Structures
Released: 05/02/14
Lead Single: Shelter Song
My Fave: Sun Structures
“The Kettering revivalists’ debut is the full psych package – minus the drugs” – NME
St Vincent: Self Titled
Release Date: 24/02/14
Lead Single: Prince Johnny
My Fave: Regret
“Equal parts funky electro throwback and prog chanson monster, St Vincent‘s fourth album feels like the culmination of a trajectory from the margins to centre stage with a minimum of intellectual loss.” – The Guardian
Released: 04/03/2014
Lead Single: Nerve Endings
My Fave: Hollow Visions
“Eagulls are a four-piece band from Leeds who write revved-up post-punk songs combining the sound of a mannered Killing Joke, who they’ve covered, with a deep atmosphere reminiscent of early Misfits and guitars that bring to mind the Cure’s “Boys Don’t’ Cry”.” – Pitchfork
Schoolboy Q: Oxymoron
Release Date: 25/02/2014
Lead Single: Man Of The Year
My Fave: Collard Greens
“Schoolboy Q is a hip-hop Everyman preoccupied with easy vices, making “Oxymoron” very blunt fun” – NY Times
