Album reviews with Ian Sinclair: April 21, 2025

New releases from Brown Horse, Craig Finn, and Julien Baker & TORRES

Brown Horse
All The Right Weaknesses
(Loose)
★★★★

FOLLOWING their superb, sludgy (in a good way!) debut, the Norwich six-piece return with another magnificent record.

Road tested during an intense touring schedule, the songs have a power all of their own, fluidly shifting from altcountry to a harder rock feel. Like a secret recipe, there is a depth and mystery to proceeding that adds up to something very special.

Craig Finn
Always Been
(Thirty Tigers)
★★★★

Julien Baker & TORRES
Send A Prayer My Way
(Matador)
★★★★
