CRITICS’ LISTS 2022
THE BEST THING I’VE HEARD ALL YEAR…
IAN ANDERSON
“The Pineapple Thief’s Give It Back. Having worked recently with Bruce Soord on the surround sound mixing of the next Tull album, due for release in April 2023, I have explored much of the TPT catalogue. I was particularly enamoured of the 2020 live performance album Nothing But The Truth, and 2022’s Give It Back reprises the older catalogue now with the added drums of Gavin Harrison for longstanding fans to enjoy.”

“Fallback by Nightlife. No question. It’s just a wicked blend of soul, pop, metal, gospel and a bunch of other stuff. Super-catchy, groovy and is the most refreshing thing we’ve heard in quite a while. Loads of love for those guys! ”

“Music For Animals by Nils Frahm is a beautiful crossover between neoclassical, experimental and ambient, and Nils once again breaks all the boundaries. It is three hours long and it’s more of a meditation than an album, a tranquil experience soaked in rich electronic palette, airy drones and synth riffs. A real journey – but aimed at a very patient traveller.”
