Love this album. A joy to review. It's crackers in the best way #lipcritic @Partisanpr

[PopMatters @PopMatters]

In Lip Critic's 'Theft World' genres are unceremoniously smashed together, with hardcore punk, club rhythms and hyper-pop all vying for attention.

@LipCritic's new album is a #PMPick out now via @partisanrecords.

Excellent album. This isn't just a @ChemBros album, it's a genuine collaboration

Tomora's 'Come Closer' exists in its own world with a clear sense of identity forged from Aurora and Tom Rowland's distinctive musical journeys. #PMPick https://t.co/IbzUzHPwTH

@fcukers__ such a fun album to listen to and write about. Amped to see them live in May

[PopMatters @PopMatters]

Fcukers are a vibe, and they know it. The hype may have brought us to the door, but the music is why we’re staying for the afterparty.

Electronic duo Pick a Piper's 'Dandelion' is a poignant reflection on love and renewal, whilst offering a reminder of the beauty in starting over. #PMPick https://t.co/18XBHqWcHA

@caribouband album is always an event and this was a joy to dive into and write about

[PopMatters @PopMatters]

Daphni's 'Butterfly' is made to get you moving, designed for the club, but it will sound equally as massive in the living room discos.

@caribouband's latest Daphni album is a #PMPick. – @boothroyd26

Such a good album! @Dominorecordco

'Tremor' feels like the start of a brand new chapter for Daniel Avery. While he paints with a lot of familiar colors, there are also many new shades.

NEW SONG: Gorillaz Innovate on "The God of Dying"

This is the sound of Gorillaz at their most innovative yet reassuringly familiar. https://t.co/D2GQ5TT5Cz

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

Everyone at the autopsy club is really excited
It’s open Mike night.

[PopMatters @PopMatters]

Nothing on Blood Orange's new album is a throwaway, because it fulfills a deep need within his creative soul. It's also profoundly beautiful and deeply cathartic.

LONER will see Barry Can't Swim continue his rapid ascent and, in turn, cement his status as one of the most exciting new talents in electronic dance music.

Back in the game! What a way to start. An amazing album from #baxterdrury @heavenlyrecords

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

@vauxhall can you please reply to my complaint about your awful service. It's been 4 weeks now and I haven't heard a thing

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

@AEGworldwide @AEG_Presents can you please tell me why the service charge for concert tickets is added and what it actually involves? Also, does it need to be charged per ticket? Could you not charge per transaction #deftones

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

@nationalrailenq Thank you!

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

@nationalrailenq supposed to be on the 12.30 from Cardiff to Bristol and then onto Exeter. How likely is that be running?

[Paul Carr @boothroyd26]

@shit_rock After two tickets if anyone can help out.
