It’s issue three now, and though we’ve been extremely lucky in terms of sourcing content, submissions are always welcome.

Even if you just want to talk about music, hanging out submissions are also welcome. Just contact music@critic.co.nz. Anyway, here are your singles of the week!
The Horros - I See You
Hypnotic seven minute offering, sprawling and atmospheric. Music as if filtered through the stained glass window of a cathedral. Post-punk, gothic.
Fear of Men - Luna
Beautiful, light vocals, looming over lush guitars and driving bass. A moving, melodic track, which swoons soft.
Haim - If I Could Change Your Mind
Infectious pop track from debut album Days Are Gone. A song that is nostalgic for nineties girl groups and soaring eighties production.
Shamir - If It Wasn't True
Funky, groove heavy, disco/house. Highlighted by smooth, androgynous vocals. Like a lo-fi Jackson Five.
Cloud Nothings - Psychic Trauma
Second single from long-awaited third album. Garage-rock-pop-punk, which starts off steady then picks up its pace to great effect.
