The most exciting heavy bands eventually stop worrying about genre altogether. That may be the point Loathe have reached on ‘A Stranger to You’, a record that treats metalcore less as a destination than a launchpad, ricocheting between shoegaze, industrial noise, dream-pop and, at times, something approaching prog-hardcore in the vein of The Mars Volta. That it largely hangs together is remarkable.

Nia Archives is one of the most exciting UK artists around. The past few years have been massive for the Bradford producer, with her debut album ‘Silence Is Loud’ changing the face of modern jungle and drum & bass, underlining the promise that had already snagged her the first MOBO Award for electronic/dance act and a slot supporting Beyoncé in 2023. Now, on ‘Emotional Junglist’, she pushes the envelope once more.
