Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.3.

Drawing inspiration from dream pop and krautrock in equal measure, Le Kov is a great record which deserves a more acclaim that it received. The wispy melodies drifting through the album are as delicate as they are beautiful, and Gwenno's vocals are reminiscent of Elizabeth Fraser - a comparison I'm sure the former would be pleased with. The Cornish lyrics only add to the mystery and wonder that this LP is drenched in. If you like the sound of Cocteau Twins playing Amon Düül II, then this is the album for you.
High Points: Tir Ha Mor; Eus Keus?; Den Heb Taves
Quirky, as it's in Cornish, but overall a bit bland

Superb album from ex-Pipettes member Gwenno - check this and her debut 'Y Dydd Olaf' out if you enjoy listening to bands like Stereolab and Broadcast.
A difficult sophomore record... what's that? The language may have changed to Cornish from the (mostly) Welsh of "Y Dydd Olaf", but the psychedelic magic and sense of urgency remains on "Le Kov", a more expansive record that marries synthy dream-pop and indietronica. Gwenno should be proud of what she has achieved here, and if there's any justice, this culturally significant record should expose her to a wider audience. I have a feeling people all over the world would happily eat this up, regardless if none of them understand Cornish.
