#12 Sudan Archives - The BPM

This album might be a bit of a sensory overload on the wrong day, it's a claustrophobic, doubtful, dance record, with flashes of modern soul, rnb. My only wish is that she leant more into her violin, it's just a little fleeting this time around.

#14 Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound

A vast metal landscape. Covering some pretty vast themes as well but it's impossible to be occupied by that unless you can get on with the sound first, because it's very in your face. But if you can, its lavish, joyful and euphoric.

#15 Turnstile - Never Enough

I'm actually a bit disappointed because this doesn't quite stand up next to their last album, Glow On. This doesn't mean it's a bad album though. It's got an unmistakably similar sound: ancient, raccous, ethereal, vibrant.

#16 Dijon - Baby

Lovely evocative production reminiscent with very relatable concepts of every day domestic life, relationships and parenthood. Sometimes the music is taking you to space and suddenly he jumps in and takes you right back to the kitchen.

#17 Spiritbox -Tsunami Sea

There were a handful of records broadly from this strain of metal that I listened to this year, but this was certainly my favourite. It's got that balance of ethereal and transcendent next to a brutal base layer, creating a captivating atmosphere

#18 Wednesday - Bleeds

An emotive album that can get to the heart of something with a few well constructed lines depicting a chaotic existence, all with a fair amount of variety in style during its 35ish minutes. What is there to lose, go listen to it.

#19 Perfume Genius - Glory

This grabbed me after 20 seconds of the opener, 'It's a Mirror'. A few seconds of 'No Front Teeth,' and I was sold on its ability to bring to my mind the theme tune to cult sci-fi series, Firefly. A couple weaker songs later on or it'd be higher

#20 Geese - Getting Killed

Warbling, slightly discomforting, its erratic, chaotic, a bit absurd. Probably not the easiest, but a compelling listen. Think Rufus Wainwright with a bit more edge, if you like. Turns out this comparison is everywhere!

Guys so ashamed of this bullshit he turned off comments AND quote replies

But 2 things come to mind. Firstly, growing for whom? The predicted inflation figures in the same article spell out the answer.

And secondly if this is the yardstick, he must love Trump's USA, predicted fastest growing

In defence, Mattsson is a creative player from deep, in terms of quickly moving the ball forward and taking our lines of the opposition. I can see why he might suit this system.

However, why have we bought a fair few players who don't!

Did he say this on the day Labour continue to post on these lines etc? They are gunning (and so obviously failing) to try to get the same voters Reform are
