Warp will release the sophomore album from the UK trio next February.


Darkstar - News From Nowhere cover
RA Review
Darkstar are one of the strangest stories stemming from the late '00s dubstep boom. With 2010's North , they shuffled from depressive garage music to equally downcast pop, seemingly instantly. Outside of some tonal similarities and a general mood of despair, that album had almost nothing in commo..

Just what we needed, another act conforming to the lolsoindiep4kcore template of mediocrity and blandness.
Trite record, topped off with an insultingly poor imitation of AnCo.

1.5/5

Not for me, thank you. Music is too interesting these days to embrace a derivative Delorean sound.

This new album by Animal Collective is so boring. AC was nice a time ago, but now - there's more interesting things in music. 2/5

Really like the album, though very different from North (which was more unique, less like what was being made at the time). This one does sound a bit like Animal Collective (as Heliosphaner said)

well after good review, some negative comments and now finally hearing it. I like it. Different from North definitely, but enjoyable. 4/5 seems legit


North was very special, raw and haunting, and News from Nowhere less so. Not a bad record, just too polished (and happy) in my opinion.

9 years ago : Warp Records released Selected Ambient Works Volume II from genius Aphex Twin. 2013 : Warp Records is a shadow of its former self, making a lot of mney with a lot of shit releases.

This album is great! It is lush, dark, and beautiful. 5/5 for sure.
