| MGMT Congratulations | 3.0 |
| Fun, 60's psych-pop that shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone who made it into the second half of Oracular Spectacular without rerouting back to Time to Pretend and Kids over and over again. It's hopelessly indulgent but that's sort of the point; MGMT have something to prove. The lack of singles is testament enough of the distaste for commercial success the band were more than vocal about and as such, Congratulations is a 'take us seriously' record from a band who made their mark by being a little less serious than everyone else at the time. |

| Jonsi Go | 3.0 |
| A great, if at times forgettable, solo effort from the Sigur Ros frontman that channels the pop sensibilities which flourished where his band last left off and expands them into a blurry, whimsical world of primary colours and overdrawn enunciation; tailor made for the easily excitable but also one that loses its glow upon further visits. |
