10 Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino by Arctic Monkeys After the roaring success of 2013’s sexy but sanitised AM, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino sees the Sheffield rockers returning to creative form with a quieter, meandering album. Absent of any singles with immediate power bar the anthemic ‘Four Out Of Five’, this is a record focusing on the […]

Exeposé Music’s Top Albums of 2018: 19-11
19 Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves The last few years have seen various pop artists look to country, folk and Americana music as sources of inspiration in order to achieve a more ‘authentic’ sound. But all it took was Kacey Musgraves releasing her third album Golden Hour to prove just how blended country and pop […]
Exeposé Music’s Top Albums of 2018: 25-20
25 Joy as an Act of REsistance by idles Joy as an Act of Resistance beats with a pulse that proves punk isn’t dead. IDLES stack their sophomore album with humour, honesty and angry bangers.

2018 Predictions
Last year around this time, I wrote an article for Exeposé predicting what 2017 would hold for the cinema. Now, not to sound too self-congratulatory, but I got most of my predictions right, even down to The Emoji Movie being almost offensively terrible (yeah, who saw THAT coming?). So once again I shall attempt to […]

New term, new me
Like many people, I’ve gone through a variety of versions of resolutions: New Year’s resolutions, resolutions made at the start of the academic year (“I’ll do all of my maths homework”, thought an optimistic 17-year-old me), even thinking I was above resolutions. After some experimenting, I’ve found that the best resolutions for me are the […]
That’s So 2017
With every new year comes a wave of new year’s resolutions. It is an opportunity discard everything we do not like about ourselves and embrace new lifestyles. However, there is a reason most new year’s resolutions fail or worse, do not even make it to the end of January. This can be attributed to the […]
Lessons to take into 2018
Last year was a year of survival for so many people: political insanity, the constant stream of bad news, and on a much smaller scale, but still terrifying, the stress of uni exams and attempting to live independently. As has been widely accepted by literally everyone on the internet, January’s overriding motto seems to be […]
2017: a year in reflection
Here we are, 2017 has nearly finished, and I know what you’re thinking…oh how this year has gone so quickly. As a decided cynic, I always find it amazing how cliché we always seem to get at the end of the year; I suppose it is the sentimentality that comes with Christmas. For many, this […]
No Refreshers in 2018
Refreshers’ Week is unlikely to be going ahead this year. This is due to there not being the capacity to carry one out with A&V currently lacking a manager, and therefore there being a lack of staff support, and it not being necessarily financially viable. This was discussed in Wednesday’s Shadow Council. Although Refreshers was […]
