Tiger & Woods 'On The Green Again' (T&W Records)
‘On The Green Again’ completes Tiger & Woods’ journey from fledgling edit kings to established disco dons. It’s their second album since 2011’s standout debut and is a fully realised, wholly accomplished affair that’s stuffed with colour, cosmic charm and boogie basslines. So sugary are its gushing tracks (all of which eschew their usual love of sampling) that your eyes will water as the pumping stabs and joyous arps ring out over and over. Thankfully, some more tender moments exist along the way, too, acting as a palate-cleanser before another dazzling assault of drums and squelchy keys. Flashes of 80s electro sleaze, throwback house and glossy diva vocals all add to the fun. Kristan J Caryl
