The Black Crowes – A Pound Of Feathers
Prolific as ever after getting back together, the Robinson brothers released their second studio album in less than two years. Voracious and motivated, the ravens have fun on eleven well-assembled compositions, as joyful for them as their fans.

The Sophs – Goldstar
With its first album, The Sophs, a sextet carried by the all-terrain voice of Ethan Ramon, draws from both the power pop and bluegrass catalog, taking on baroque road trips with or flamenca.

Brigitte Calls Me Baby – Irreversible
A first EP followed by an album had already set the tone, but the movement seems more and more inevitable as Brigitte Calls Me Baby reaches out to this 80's British new wave, Smiths in the lead, considering that it is impossible not to think of Morrissey when hearing Wes Leavins decanting his vocal melodies.

Catchy Peril – Catchy
On this first album, disco is left aside but the pop part is retained with a lot of guitars, in a sort of glam/punk for “Lemon Eye” which opens the record. The album goes in all directions, like hesitations of choice. An honest fault already corrected during half of the disc, very appreciated here.

Kitten Labyrinth – Labyrinth
Although a duo, the group sounds surprisingly collective – the disc was recorded with Margaux Bouchaudon and Vincent Hivert of En Attendant Ana – and spoils us with its diversity and commitment to melodies.

SPIT – Full Sun
Three years after a first record, two after an EP noticed in our columns, CRACHE is back with this cake of nine tracks, recorded in the cold of the Pays de la Loire – surprising given the title, Plein Soleil.

Lamb Of God – Into Oblivion
The Americans are not taking off, quite the contrary. Randy Blythe has not finished displaying his rage on the ten tracks of Into Oblivion, a concise and inspired record. Lamb Of God shows the muscles without bulging. Riffs and mandals follow one another in total chaos. A success.

Flora Fishbach – I wanted to tell you
After having tasted success from her first album, the Carolopolitan singer continues to place her immediately recognizable suave voice on well-felt electronic beats, with deliciously 80s keyboard parts, with delicate and hallucinatory compositions.

James Blake – Trying Times
The prodigy composer and producer is back with a seventh album which marks the time of change. A record conscious of its time, as dreamy as it is melancholy.

Roxane – Still Waters Run Deep
There are voices that we recognize before knowing the name. Roxane's is one of those: rough and cracked, something between Etta James And Beth Gibbons which only belongs to her. An odyssey on human relations by a twenty-year-old Franco-Swiss who has not yet said everything.
