IMAGINE DRAGONS
Smoke + Mirrors (Interscope)
Finding their niche between the meaty pop of OneRepublic and Coldplays shiny rock, Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons had a major hit with Radioactive, a single that sold nine million. This second album charts a similarly glossy path. New single I Bet My Life chimes perfectly with a machine-tooled pop landscape where sparkling hooks are everything, but there is greater individuality in the jittery electronics of Gold and the beats that power Hopeless Opus.

KATHRYN ROBERTS & SEAN LAKEMAN
Tomorrow Will Follow Today (Iscream)
Crowned best duo at last years BBC Folk Awards, guitarist Lakeman and singer Roberts mix traditional fare with ear-catching originals. The Devon husband-and-wife team deliver a blood-soaked preface on murder ballad Child Owlet. Another ancient tune, The Robber Bridegroom, is similarly sinister. Self-penned numbers bring light relief: Song To Live By offers advice to the couples twin daughters; The Banishing Book is a racy gem.

FRYARS
Power (Fiction)
FROM the same London circles as Bombay Bicycle Club, Benjamin Garrett aka Fryars wrote two tracks for Lily Allens Sheezus album, but is more at home as a solo artist. This second album arrives five years after his debut and sees his talent maturing. His crooned vocals, augmented by skewed electronics and stunning harmonies, can sound mannered, but tracks such as On Your Own pack a hefty emotional punch.

ANNA PHOEBE
Between The Shadow And The Soul (The Orchard)
A BAREFOOT violin virtuoso with her heart in the prog-rock era, Phoebe toured with Roxy Music and Jon Lord, and she leads some superb ensemble playing on this mainly instrumental affair. She combines European folk and classical influences with verve. Ian Anderson adds trademark flute on A Moments Deception.

SCOTT MATTHEWS
Home Part 1 (San Remo)
THIS singer-songwriter has slipped under the radar since scooping an Ivor Novello award eight years ago. But his fifth album is a gem. Made in his West Midlands home studio, its observant songs are sung with a sweetness that recalls Elliott Smith.

On Christmas Night
(Coro SIGCD386)
THIS Armonico Consort CD is beautiful. A mixed choir of just ten voices is atmospherically recorded in St Marks Church, Leamington Spa, with director Christopher Monks risking some very slow tempi. The singing on such favourites as Away In A Manger, In Dulci Jubilo and Silent Night is exquisite.

ELLA HENDERSON
Chapter One (Syco Music)
This Grimsby teenager came sixth on The X Factor two years ago, despite being hailed as the best singer. One senses her elimination suited Simon Cowell, who has teamed her with a posse of co-writers. Her voice is supple Hard Work is a highlight but this debut has a surfeit of power ballads.
