Shangri La
“"I wake up/Check my phone/Jump in my whip/And off I go," Jake Bugg sings on "Kingpin." It's a song about the lush life of a drug dealer with a steelback giddyap that connects Eddie Cochran to the Smiths' "What Difference Does It Make?" And that knack for yoking today's restless energy to yesterday's jangle is what makes the 19-year-old U.K. chart-topper likable. Bugg's debut was at its best giving”
On My One
“A British roots revivalist tries updating his folk rock”

On My One
“The pop-star-baiting, credibility-seeking, Noel-Gallagher-approved (and then shunned), surly major label rocker Jake Bugg turns in one of the most baffling collections of music in recent memory.”
