BON IVER - FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO - 5* Uncut's Album of the Month - A remote cabin in Wisconsin. Two dead deer for food. A guitar. The result? A classic debut album. Accompanied by an in-depth interview with Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver.
MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - I KNOW YOU'RE MARRIED BUT I'VE GOT FEELINGS TOO - 3* The baby of the Wainwright clan grows up with assuredly mature second album.

Willard Grant Conspiracy - Pilgrim's Road - 4* Uncut's Americana Album of the Month is the opulent seventh LP from Robert Fisher’s ever-evolving collective. Check out the Uncut review here.

Otis Redding - Otis Blue (Collector's Edition) - 5* Sixties Southern Soul brought to perfection, repackaged in multi-format glory.
No Age - Nouns 4* - What happens when the punk rock of The Misfits and Black Flag meets the hissy lo-fi of Pavement’s Slanted And Enchanted and the ecstatic throb of My Bloody Valentine’s Isn’t Anything?
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement - 4* It's finally here - Arctic Monkeys and Rascals' Miles Kane's project is a lush affair. Check out Uncut's review of the current UK album's chart number one record here.
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - Sunday At Devil Dirt - 4* The follow up to the pair's debut collaboration Ballad of the Broken Seas, sees the moody return of the Sonny & Cher of grunge. Check out the Uncut review here.
