3. Californian Soil (2021)

London Grammar: Californian Soil Album Review | Pitchfork

“English indie trio London Grammar have spent the better part of a decade working with their signature blend of lushly produced, melancholic indie pop, dream pop and indietronica. It’s a formula they have stuck rigidly with, leaving their first two albums as pleasant listens but a bit overlong as the albums stay at a similar mood for upwards of an hour. On their third album “Californian Soil”, London Grammar perfect their formula and deliver it succinctly.”

2. Truth Is A Beautiful Thing (2017)

Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (Deluxe) - Album by London Grammar | Spotify

“Electronics and strings are used to create a warm atmosphere. Rooting for You is an unusual choice for an opener, because it starts with Hannah Reid’s a cappella voice with a lot of echo, like in a church. Then an electric piano and string orchestra set in. Big Picture is a break-up song to which producer Jon Hopkins added layers of sound. One pedal tone is repeated throughout the song. Oh Woman Oh Man is a sorrowful song inspired by a divorce. Her voice is beautiful, the textures rich and and the lyrics have a philosophical touch.”

1. If You Wait (2013)

If You Wait (Deluxe Version) - Album by London Grammar | Spotify

“I expected something hipper, something more in your face but this is actually a very pleasant, jazzy, dreamy alt pop with smooth instrumentation and lush female vocals in the style of Florence and the Machine’s silken voiced singer. These songs are nocturnally inclined, meaning they are more listenable at night, preferably after a tiring day at work, as you’re on your way home, relaxing at the back of a cab, watching the city pass by.”
