Gracie Abrams’ highly anticipated third studio album, .Daughter from Hell'.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: An effortlessly melodic mix of low key folky indie music and super sleek synthpop that screams 'Long Pond' so much i'd be very surprised if it wasn't a Dessner production (It is a Dessner production - ed). Abrams' voice is singularly affecting in this instance, with a cracking intensity and longing melodicism we've not heard before, leading to her most affecting outing yet. Lovely.

Horrorful Heights marks a formidable new chapter in The Bevis Frond’s deep and storied catalogue, showcasing the enduring creativity of songwriter, guitarist and frontman Nick Saloman as he moves into yet another decade of recording. Long established as one of the most distinctive voices in British underground rock, Saloman continues to refine the band’s signature blend of melodic psychedelia, wiry guitar epics and sharp, emotionally attuned songwriting. Horrorful Heights offers one of the most approachable entry points to the band’s world in years: a record that gathers their core strengths into a cohesive, vivid set. Recorded with long-time drummer Dave Pearce and guitarist Paul Simmons, alongside new bassist Louis Wiggett, the album moves fluidly between jangling psych-pop, heavy-lit guitar workouts and pastoral comedown reveries. Wiggett also brings a surprising new colour to the Frond palette, contributing pedal steel to “Best Laid Plans” and “Momma Bear,” recalling early-70s country-tinged British rock from Bronco or Cochise.

The album’s range is wide but sharply defined. “Draining The Bad Blood” channels the classic Bevis Frond mode of melodic guitar pop—cut from the same cloth as longtime fan favourites later covered by Teenage Fanclub and The Lemonheads. “Space Age Eyes,” a concise nine-minute odyssey, nods toward the transcendental explorations of ’70s electric Miles Davis, complete with a blistering solo from Simmons and rhythmic elasticity from Pearce. The sitar-laden title track, written off-the-cuff while Saloman half-watched a football match, drifts through incense-hazed psychedelia with layered vocals and tumbling tablas—an affectionate echo of the head-shop mysticism he has toyed with throughout the band’s history.

Alongside the core album, this deluxe edition includes Horrorful Offal, an eleven-track companion drawn from the same fertile sessions. Far from a grab-bag of leftovers, it extends the world of Horrorful Heights with alternate moods, deep-cut experiments and songs that illuminate the album’s edges. Together they form a panoramic view of the Frond’s current creative streak.

Both albums are housed in a striking deluxe edition, presented in a bespoke die-cut slipcase that frames the artwork. Though unmistakably eclectic, Horrorful Heights presents a focused portrait of The Bevis Frond in 2025 - vital, tuneful and unburdened by nostalgia. Saloman describes the collection simply: the best songs he’d written in recent years, arriving unforced and instinctive. The result is a late-period peak from one of Britain’s most quietly influential underground bands.

Maestro Pete Blaker isn't off our shelves at the moment. Here he presents four high grade Balearic-themed cuts. All cut one track a side for maximum fidelity. Stick that in your USB and smoke it! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Pete Blaker continue to vie for MVP of the disco edits world. I don't think a week goes by without a new release from him. Gifting these edits a whole-side of high fidelity goodness would suggest that he himself thinks these are the cream of his crop, and we'd be more that inclined to agree. Simply stunning stuff by one of the best to do it at the moment.

More than any other album in the canon of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, 1958’s Moanin’—featuring the great drummer with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt—was the perfect crystallization of the band’s bluesy, soulful sound, and it still stands today as perhaps the most quintessential hard bop recording of all-time. Originally self-titled, the album was later renamed Moanin’ due to the popularity of Timmons’ unforgettable opening track. The album also introduced several indelible Golson compositions that would become standards of the jazz songbook including “Along Came Betty” and “Blues March.”

The third and final(?) 12" in the series comes in the form of this four track 'Within Without' EP.

'Invidia' & 'Deep Breath' were originally released on Capture Records in 2005, these are the most wanted tracks from her small yet mighty discography. Playful, driving, emotive, pure Blueless!

Both remastered for an extra bit of punch. On the inner tracks we have 'The Pleasure Is All Mine' & 'Much More', which came to life a lot more recently with some help in the studio from Oliver.r. Two sun shining jams, moving and grooving, house music for all.

Thank you Blueless, for the music new and old, and giving us the opportunity to shine a much deserved light on them!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: The divine deep house entity Blueless releases the final part in her spiritual series. Chakra-aligning house music that'll leave you so loose and flexible you'll be pulling moves on the dancefloor you didn't know you were capable of!

London-based artist, DJ, vocalist and cultural force Josh Caffé returns with his EP 'The Velvet Hour' - his debut project on dh2. Inspired by everyone from Prince and Grace Jones to the cinematic worlds of Gaspar Noé and Yorgos Lanthimos, 'The Velvet Hour' reflects the hazy and hedonistic atmosphere of the 4am dancefloor. Those moments of total abandon and intimacy found deep within queer club culture. Inspired by the set times Josh loves most as a DJ, the EP draws from the energy of spaces including IsBurning, Adonis, Panorama Bar and Horst Festival, capturing what he describes as “that window where you can really experiment sonically and when you’re locked in with the crowd, the connection can feel primal, seductive and playful all at once.”

Wewantsounds continues its reissue program of Bob Shad's cult jazz label, Mainstream Records, with Hadley Caliman's superb 1972 album, 'Iapetus'. Recorded in LA and featuring a heavyweight lineup of West Coast players including Todd Cochran, Woody “Sonship” Theus, Luis Gasca, and Victor Pantoja, the majority of the album was composed by Todd Cochran (aka Bayeté) soon after he had composed Bobby Hutcherson's Blue Note classic, Head On. A true hidden treasure, it is reissued here on vinyl for the first time since 1971, featuring its original gatefold artwork with rare first-generation photos. This edition comes with newly remastered audio and a two-page insert with exclusive liner notes by Todd Cochran, reflecting on Hadley Caliman and the making of the album.

Tenor saxophonist and flutist Hadley Caliman was a key figure in the West Coast late 60s underground scene, whose versatile style made him a first-call collaborator across genres. A fixture of the San Francisco music scene, Caliman’s rich tone and musical creativity saw him crossing over into the city's lively jazz and psychedelic rock circles, contributing to recordings by Gerald Wilson, Mongo Santamaria, Santana, and the Grateful Dead. By 1971, he had established himself as a prominent member of this creative community, which led to his signing with Bob Shad’s Mainstream Records.

Following his 1971 self-titled debut, Caliman returned to the studio later that year to record 'Iapetus'. The session featured a heavyweight lineup of fellow West Coast fixtures, including trumpeter Luis Gasca, bassist James Leary, and a powerhouse percussion section of Woody “Sonship” Theus, Victor Pantoja, and Hungria Garcia. The album’s sophisticated modal structures were captured by pianist and composer Todd Cochran (aka Bayeté). A visionary in his own right, Cochran was concurrently establishing his own legacy on Prestige Records with two acclaimed albums, including 'Worlds Around the Sun' (1972), (featuring both Caliman and Leary), later sampled by De La Soul and Kendrick Lamar. Cochran went on to collaborate with Julian Priester on his landmark Love Love album on ECM, as well as working with Mtume, Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock, and Aretha Franklin.

The 'Iapetus' sessions are Fender Rhodes-heavy, with Cochran’s electric keys providing a shimmering, cosmic foundation for Caliman's inspired explorations. From the driving modal intensity of the title track to the spiritual 'Quadrivium', featuring Caliman’s superb flute work, via the funky 'Watercress', the album's profile has steadily grown over the decades, attracting an ever-increasing following among '70s jazz lovers and deep-catalog diggers. Reflecting on the group's creative telepathy in the new liner notes, Cochran writes: "We were a circle of friends, and the music was our shared language—a way to translate the high-velocity energy of San Francisco into something timeless."

This first-ever vinyl reissue of Iapetus in over fifty years has been newly remastered for the occasion. Having become increasingly rare and pricey on the collector's market over the years, this long-overlooked spiritual jazz gem is set to ravish fans of deep '70s jazz around the world.

'Detonate' is the second chapter in a new epoch for The Casualties. As their second album with David Rodriguez at the mic, it solidifies the vocalist's partnership with drummer Marc "Meggers" Eggers and guitarist Jake Kolatis . "It's like a new era for the band," Meggers says. "It solidifies that Dave is here to stay."

As the follow-up to 2018's 'Written in Blood' and their first record for Hellcat Records - the Epitaph subsidiary curated by Tim Armstrong of Rancid - 'Detonate' sees this new version of The Casualties locking into place. "We were in the studio for Written in Blood about eight months after I joined," Rodriguez says. "With this new record, we really grew together. For me, it's the proud moment where we clicked the three Legos together."

"The story began with the contemplation of lines drawn in the white gravel of a Zen garden: that of the Tokaian temple in Kyoto, which was off-limits to visitors, a few years ago. From that stolen moment, suspended in time, came the inspiration for my new album, 'The Complexity of the Simple'.

"I worked on these instrumental pieces with meticulous craftsmanship, over a period of nearly ten years (2016-2025), continuing on my path towards minimalism. An aesthetic nourished by the visual arts — in particular the sculptor Pierre Labat, who also took the photograph for the cover.

"With this new opus, I want to draw attention to an issue that I believe will be crucial in the forthcoming years and decades. The music industry was born thanks to fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) - which are responsible for the excess CO² we emit every day - and it is dependent on them at every single stage.

"But the use of these energies is set to decline sharply in the future: either because of the need to decarbonise our societies in order to limit climate change, or simply because they are non-renewable and their peak and decline are inevitable. This transition, in our time of ecological backlash, is a colossal and long-term undertaking. It will take many years, probably decades. And we know that in any case, the sooner the better.

"In this context, when do we get to work? When do we start preparing for a future world without hydrocarbons, and probably more sober? What new ways of producing, playing and listening to music will emerge?"

Available for first time in over 35 years, Clock DVA’s 'White Souls in Black Suits' - originally released in 1980 as a limited-run cassette on Throbbing Gristle’s Industrial Records - now returns in a newly remastered edition on grey vinyl and CD, reissued via The Grey Area of Mute and expanded with four bonus tracks from the same era.

Led by the visionary Adi Newton, Clock DVA remains one of the most enigmatic and shape-shifting acts to emerge from Sheffield. Their catalogue spans mutant funk, noir jazz, and coldwave electronics, with 'White Souls in Black Suits', paired with the additionals tracks, offering an insight into the early morphology of their sound. The album features a lineup including Newton (voice, synth, clarinet, bowed electric guitar, and tape treatment), founding member Steven James Turner (bass treatment), David J. Hammond (guitar treatment), Charlie Collins (saxophone, flute & percussion), Roger Quail (percussion), and Simon M. Elliott-Kemp (synth).

Recorded at Cabaret Voltaire’s Western Works studio, the album is loosely structured, largely improvised, and steeped in the influence of Sheffield’s early industrial and goth scene. It evokes a world of surveillance, obsession, and psychological decay a debut that set the tone for Clock DVA’s ever-evolving vision and an essential record of the original industrial era.

Following the release of 'Love Is Not Enough', 'Hum of Hurt' delivers a raw, emotionally exposed exploration of the human condition, born from sessions that ultimately yielded two distinct records.

This new ten-song album stands as a powerful statement piece that confronts the cost of a life devoted to creation, while enduring the weight of inner conflict and external turmoil.

STAFF COMMENTS

Glamgoth? Dark electro? Industrial cyberfunk? Dead Lights were founded in 2020, at the start of the Pandemic, forcing the international musician / producer duo (UK and Netherlands) to work on all their output from a distance.

Disguised as dark, sleazy electropop, Saul and Richard create their own personal blend of monumental synth basslines and gritty sounds, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal, dance-orientated beats.

Their new album ‘Lash’ can be characterised as their boldest release to date. It contains eight previously released singles which all are dancefloor bangers - built to ignite strobes and command bodies into motion. On top of these, Dead Lights presents four brand-new songs that emphasize the more cinematic side that is also present in their music, moving further away from conventional song structures.

Invada Records present Stranger Things 5—Original Score from the Netflix Series, featuring music by two-time Grammy®-nominated and Emmy®-winning composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein.

Stranger Things 5 will be released as two volumes which include the original score to Season 5 as well as the music from the finale.

Music has been an integral component of the series from the first season when it set a perfectly vintage and sinister tone. Each season Dixon and Stein’s music has evolved with the show reflecting a deep connection with the lives of the characters and the ever more intense storylines.

In the annals of film and television, certain musical themes manage to transcend the moving image, memorable scores have the uncanny ability to sum up an epoch, an entire aesthetic.

Prolific Texan musicians Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein are responsible for a body of work that’s synonymous with the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, the supernatural everytown at the center of the Netflix hit Stranger Things.
But as the small town becomes the unlikely site for a supernatural battle within the hit series, Dixon and Stein’s soundscapes, too, have expanded in lockstep. In the meantime, Stein and Dixon compose music for feature films, documentary series, large-scale installations and play in the band S U R V I V E.

Working in the lineage of predecessors like John Carpenter and peers like Oneohtrix Point Never, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein use a lifelong obsession with synthesizers and electronic music as a vehicle

When Dope Lemon – the moniker of acclaimed Australia artist Angus Stone – released 'Honey Bones' in 2016, it didn’t arrive with the noise of a blockbuster debut - it drifted in effortlessly, all hazy grooves and sun-faded introspection, and in doing so laid the foundation for something far more enduring. Over the past decade, the album has grown into a cult touchstone, defining a signature sound that fans have come to associate with escapism, nostalgia, and emotional ease.

For listeners, 'Honey Bones' has become more than a record, it’s a feeling they return to, a constant companion through road trips, long summers, and reflective moments. But just as importantly, it was the catalyst that transformed Dope Lemon from a side project into a fully realised creative force. The album established a distinct identity and unlocked a new global audience, driving consistent streaming growth, and creating the platform for sold-out tours and subsequent releases that could confidently build on its world. In essence, 'Honey Bones' didn’t just resonate—it set the trajectory, turning Dope Lemon into a lasting brand with both cultural credibility and commercial momentum.

In 2006, Japan’s Envy irreparably blurred the lines dividing all the various sub-genres of underground rock, smearing post-hardcore, screamo, shoegaze, and ambient minimalism into their cinematic opus, 'Insomniac Doze'. It was not a destination without a path – the band’sprevious two albums, 'All the Footprints You’ve Left Behind' and the Fear Expecting Ahead' (2001) and 'A Dead Sinking Story' (2003), were clear indicators that change was ahead. As always, Envy were driven by creative curiosity and emotional exploration. Perhaps no album in their nearly four-decade history exemplifies this pursuit more than 'Insomniac Doze'.

Twenty years later, it stands as a progenitor, and one of the premiere examples of the preconceptions of punk getting reduced to vapor. This edition of 'Insomniac Doze' celebrates the 20 years since the release of Envy’s landmark album. Remastered in 2026 by Josh Bonati, the album’s deluxe new gatefold package includes complete lyrics in both English and Japanese languages. It is the definitiveversion of an album that has come to help define a genre.

Influential shoegaze pioneers Failure return after a half-decade with their seventh studio album, ‘Location Lost’.

The LP features nine new tracks, showcasing a focused, modern vision of their signature alternative space rock sound, including the mesmerizing track, ‘The Rising Skyline’, featuring Paramore’s Hayley Williams.

The album follows the band’s 2025 Hulu / Disney+ documentary ‘Every Time You Lose Your Mind’ which spans the band’s career and legacy.

Ken Andrews’ hypnotizing vocals perfectly accentuate the band’s melodramatic music.

Hayley Williams’ feature on the standout ‘The Rising Skyline’ exemplifies the influence Failure have on musicians everywhere.

Pioneers of a sound now mostly regarded as ‘Shoegaze’, Failure can be credited with influencing what is now an entire genre of music.

Writing a bio for a secret band is a bit like cleaning a house that nobody is living in. It looks good on your resumé but do we really need it? Only ghosts do.

Talking about ghosts: there is AI for this kind of stuff, but unfortunately, even AI is too serious and will write a 'proper' bio because AI knows stuff. Name names. Name places. Name influences. Name tour dates. Name quotes by Oscar Wilde and/or Noel Gallagher. And none of that is relevant to Ferries.

After the 2025 release of Ferries' quickly-vanishing first LP, 'Eye Flutter', not much changed for the band. They continued to exist by not existing. Et voila, a new record, 'Eye Wander', is now here. Although the medium is the same as the previous one (black gold), they've taken a next step in a smoky journey into a dubby and kraut-y world of creating songs and musical moments. Is 'avant garde pop' a genre? Or even 'dub kraut'? I know 'indie' certainly is, and I don't really agree with that either, and even a broken clock is right twice a day so what's the point anyway.

Originally released in 2012, Three by Flavor Crystals has steadily become a cult favourite within the modern psychedelic underground. Blending hypnotic guitars, immersive atmospheres, motorik rhythms, and deeply melodic songwriting, the album moves seamlessly between neopsychedelia, dream pop, and space rock. This vinyl reissue reintroduces a sought-after underground classic with strong crossover appeal across psychedelic, indie, and dream pop audiences.

Recommended For Fans Of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, Spacemen 3, Mazzy Star, The Black Angels.

Following the release of his 'Vestibule' EP, cult favourite Galcher Lustwerk returns with a remixed rendition featuring mixes from Skee Mask, Saoirse, Ricardo Villalobos, and Yaleesa Hall. The New York-based producer has become one of the most prolific names in the underground, recognised for his fusion of hazy house grooves, storytelling, and hip-hop-inspired vocals. The 'Vestibule' EP is a warm-toned, three-track release, featuring rolling percussion, introspective lyrics, and subtle cosmic synths.

Opening the remix EP is Chilean producer and DJ Ricardo Villalobos, known for his genre and boundary-defying productions and remixes, and the extended DJ sets that have made him a contemporary legend. Villalobos reshapes the original track 'Vestibule' into a pulsing and hypnotic groove. Revered artist, DJ and llian Tape regular, Skee Mask, takes a low-down approach in his productions, centred on rhythmic elements and hazy sounds. Skee Mask's remix of 'Vestibule' washes the track in swirling textures and weightless pads, warping and stretching the elements into a spacious, dream-like landscape, driven by distorted drums.

'Shorty out' is revisited by DJ, producer, and Bodymovements co-founder Saoirse. A highly renowned figure in dance music, the Irish artist has cultivated a genre-defying sound, circling house, garage, electro and bass. Her Resident Advisor mixes, Radio 1 Residency, and Essential Mix have amassed high viewership, and her list of residencies and performances spans globally from Fabric London to Horst Festival Berlin, Sonar, Rinse FM, and more. Saoire's remix transforms Lustwerk's smokey vocals into a high-energy club cut, layering darting synths and crisp, punchy percussions to create a bubbling, late-night room-filler built for peak-time dancefloors.

Yaleesa Hall has secured himself as one of techno's most forward-thinking producers and DJs, with regular releases on Will & Ink record label. His remix of 'Shorty Out' offers an atmospheric, glitchy, and low-end electro refix, pushing the track into a deeper territory.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Galcher Lustwerk enlists a who's who of spectrum-spanning dance music superstars to remix two tracks off his last EP. There's a bit of summat for everyone here, apart from of course your Bruce Springsteen loving grandad or your Lil Nas X fangirl sister. Everyone else however, is more than invited!

When the mysterious masked collective calling themselves Goat first emerged in 2012, armed with an incendiary debut album ‘World Music’ – there was, and there still isn’t, anyone else on earth quite like them. With their enticing mythology, music full of sinuous grooves and manic explosions of fuzz, Goat were outliers from the very beginning. ‘World Music’, received an avalanche of acclaim with critics, psych heads, outernational crate diggers etc, all left enraptured by its thunderous intensity, conjured from a singular mix of sounds from across the globe. ‘World Music’ is brimming with tracks now seen as ‘classic’ Goat live favourites. Tracks that have been wowing audiences all over the world; the afrobeat stomp of ‘Disco Fever’, the fuzz abuse of ‘Goathead’, the post-punk groove of ‘Let it Bleed’, the sing-along repetitive pop of ‘Run to your Mama’... From the first note to the last, ‘World Music’ oozes with a sonic confidence rarely seen on a debut album. What Goat have is unique – they’ve managed to create a sound unrestrained by genre or any other boundaries. So, if you haven’t done so already, then it is now time you joined the Goat commune.

56 years ago the Grateful Dead made their first trip across the pond to play at the Hollywood Festival. The two-day outdoor event was packed with a variety of local and national talent, which included the likes of Traffic, Ginger Baker’s Airforce, Mungo Jerry, The Flaming Groovies, Tony Joe White, a very young Black Sabbath, and Jose Feliciano. The Dead performed a fine electric set despite the tiny stage, crowded press arena, and a PA and monitoring system that they weren't able to hear. No problem, the boys played full tilt for three hours straight to the delight of the Newcastle-under-Lyme freaks and adventurous locals.

With a howling and unholy mix of punk rock and the blues, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and The Gun Club exploded upon the L.A. club scene in the early '80s. When it came time to record a follow-up to their acclaimed debut Fire Of Love, the group decamped to New York to work with producer Chris Stein of Blondie and his new label, Animal. Stein produced Miami at Blank Tape Studios in June 1982, with Deborah Harry on hand to sing backup vocals, credited under the pseudonym D.H. Laurence Jr. Despite the involvement of two members of Blondie, Miami was no pop- punk concoction, but rather a further exploration of the neo-swamp blues Pierce and company had mined on Fire of Love, though Stein's production made Pierce's toxic musical stew a little easier to swallow.

Miami didn't get its proper due back in the day, but was hugely impactful. Billy Idol said the closing track "Mother Earth" was a key influence on his 1982 hit "White Wedding." While The Gun Club went on to inspire such artists as Chris Isaak, The White Stripes and Mark Lanegan , the band also highlighted their own influences on Miami . The album includes a howling take on Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Run Through Jungle," a revved up version of the traditional folk song "John Hardy," and a Crampslike rendition of J.R. Reynolds' "Fire of Love". Along with Debbie Harry's backing vocals, Miami features a constellation of notable guest artists, including Andy Warhol protege Walter Steding on fiddle, Rubber Rodeo's Mark Tomeo on steel guitar, and Chris Stein himself joining in on bongos.

The Gun Club recorded a few albums after Miami, but this one with the original band is considered their masterpiece!

hackedepicciotto return with 'LICHTUNG', an electronically rich and structurally adventurous record that honours the German language.

This is Alexander Hacke’s first album since leaving Einstürzende Neubauten. It takes its title – and draws its inspiration – from the home he and Danielle de Picciotto recently established on the outskirts of Berlin, marking a milestone after 14 years of nomadic living. Named after the German word for ‘clearing’, 'LICHTUNG' has become their personal haven and a place for reflection amid a period of global upheaval.

On the album, the pair step beyond the familiar pull of repetitive drones, exploring more complex sound structures and uncharted electronic terrains. Recorded in their new home, the process was as demanding as it was creatively rewarding. They embraced experimentation with new textures, while Danielle returned to the piano, an instrument she had long missed, finding new ways to express herself.

Mindfully written in German as a nod to the language of their surroundings, the lyrics are a loving gesture that firmly anchors this Berlin-born record.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A majestic outing that is rich in German electronic tradition but with a distinct, mellowing influence from folk and rock. Though primarily a propulsive set of ambient pieces, there are moments of divine brightness and melodic intensity scattered liberally like on the stunning 'Einig'.

Even by the high-water marks set by Herbie Hancock’s tremendous 1960s Blue Note output, 1965’s Maiden Voyage remains one of the pinnacle artistic achievements of the great pianist’s career. Hancock is joined here by his Miles Davis Quintet bandmates Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, along with Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and George Coleman on tenor saxophone. The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of five original Hancock compositions, several of which have since become enduring standards of the jazz lexicon including the title track, “Eye of the Hurricane,” and “Dolphin Dance.”

John Hassall & The April Rainers is the followup to 2017's 'Wheels to Idyll', which picked up critical applause on its release. Uncut Magazine described the album as “a Laurel Canyon- style bucolic rock voyage, with Hassall’s hushed tenor voice cooing over CSN harmonies, wistful major-sevenths and Robbie Krieger-ish guitar explorations.” Whilst Mojo Magazine raved “a long-player of mellifluous, melody soaked psychedelic pop. Hassall’s tune-fulness rarely misfires and the homely, nostalgic charms never wear out their welcome.”

Most of the songs were cowritten by John and longtime poet collaborator Steev Burgess exploring memories of school days, journeys and adventures, fading dreams, ancient empires and even somebody’s trinket collection. Burgess who has known Hassall for many years, wrote the lyrics to lead single 'Miracles', a sort of Ballad of John and Line. Libertines band mate Peter Doherty is also involved with a co-writing credit on 'Doing Time'.

Speaking on the album, John says "These 10 songs are the ones that survived, grew and took on a life of their own. There's no way of telling if a song will make it until the end. 'That Pale Lantern' in my opinion, started off as a rank outsider and then turned into one of the strongest songs on the album. Lessons were learnt from Wheels to Idyll and a new musical development runs through it. Whereas the last album was recorded pretty much live. The new album maintains similar classic songwriting and pop sensibilities, though with more complex arrangements and production.”

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Another slice of sunny jangle-pop, rendered beautifully by John Hassall of Libertines fame, recalling The La's or early Coral mixed with soaring 60's psych. Beautifully evocative and wonderfully intricate indie-pop.

There are collaborations that feel engineered, and then there are those that feel like summer sun’s warmth on a Sunday. Helado Tropical, the debut collaborative album from Helado Negro and Reyna Tropical, belongs to the latter, channeling that easy, sun-drenched tenderness into sound. It didn’t begin with a plan so much as a meeting: two artists orbiting similar questions around language, identity, and music, finally landing in the same room. What followed was less a traditional writing process than a shared unfolding – an instinctive, immersive exchange that stretched across geographies, time zones, and states of being.

The duo first met in June 2024 in North Carolina, brought together by a mutual friend and a loose invitation to spend time in the studio. What might have been a brief session turned into something closer to a three-day sleepover – equal parts conversation, curiosity, and creative risk. Reyna Tropical, accustomed to close-knit collaborations, stepped into new creative territory, while Helado Negro brought a similar sense of curiosity and fluidity.

What emerged was immediate, rather than easing into collaboration, the two found themselves propelled forward by it – building songs in real time, responding to each other’s instincts without over-explaining them. There was no rigid division of roles. One would begin an idea, the other would answer. A melody would suggest a rhythm; a rhythm would reshape a lyric.

Across Helado Tropical, there is a noticeable absence of constraint: not just musically, but conceptually. Both artists share a long-standing resistance to the expectations often placed on Latin music: what it should sound like, how it should feel, what stories it should tell. As they do individually, these two artists create space for something more fluid and personal on this project.

What makes Helado Tropical particularly resonant is the sense of trust that underpins it. Trust in each other, of course, but also trust in instinct and in the process. Much of the album was written through improvisation, with meaning revealing itself only later, as the artists listened back and reflected.

Hill Collective strike out with 'Fire In Orbit', their first release for Batov Records and the Brighton ensemble’s most focused and expansive studio statement to date.

In 2008, Hot Chip released 'Made In The Dark', a wild pop record that refused to sit still. The album rose to #4 in the UK charts with single 'Ready For The Floor' breaking into the UK Top Ten and earning a Grammy nomination. While their previous efforts were effectively bedroom studio albums, Hot Chip wanted to capture the chemistry of their live show in the recording sessions. Despite being originally signed to a major label, the band had an unprecedented level of autonomy. “We were excited by the idea of doing something strange and vibrant,” says Joe Goddard. “This record was a lot about freedom to experiment and make whatever kind of take on pop music that we wanted to make,” - Alexis Taylor.

By 2010's 'One Life Stand', Hot Chip had evolved. There’d been collaborations with legends like Peter Gabriel and Robert Wyatt, various solo albums and side projects, and, personally, settling down. They’d been touring the world for 10 years and reaching global audiences. As the decade drew to a close, Hot Chip began to take stock. Their songwriting had always been emotionally resonant but on their fourth studio album, it took on a newfound maturity, with themes of domesticity and devotion.

The result was 'One Life Stand', Hot Chip’s most concise album to date: 10 songs that put melody front and centre. It’s clearer and more direct, while outside collaborators infused the sessions with a new energy, fueled by anthems like 'I Feel Better' and the eponymous single 'One Life Stand'.

Rewind to the year 2006 when British music was enthrall to guitar bands in winklepickers and waistcoats. And then along came Hot Chip's album 'The Warning' like a kaleidoscopic bolt from the blue and turned a generation of indie fans onto the hedonistic pleasure of repetitive beats. 'The Warning' was a ahead of the zeitgeist, spending 17 weeks in the UK charts and earning a Mercury Prize nomination thanks to tracks like 'Over & Over' and 'Boy From School'.

Inspired by the sounds coming out of New York in the mid-2000s but even more indebted to the London club underground, the album was characterised by ambitious genre blends and a statement of intent.

Freddie Hubbard’s 2nd Blue Note album Goin’ Up delivered on the promise of his debut Open Sesame by once again proving him to be one of the most exciting new trumpeters on the jazz scene. Recorded in 1960, the date found Hubbard in elite company with a quintet featuring Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums for a dynamic set of high-energy hard bop. The 6-song set includes two pieces by revered trumpeter and composer Kenny Dorham (“Asiatic Raes” and “Karioka”) as well as a pair of compositions by Mobley (“The Changing Scene” and “A Peck A Sec”). The band only slows down once for the exquisite ballad “I Wished I Knew” by Bill Smith before Hubbard’s swaggering “Blues For Brenda” brings the album to a close.

The San Diego via Boston alt trio’s complete original studio recordings, remastered, restored, and compiled into one lavish box set. 'Wait A Lifetime' gathers the band’s peerless albums 'Junk' and 'This Afternoon Malady', plus 'R.I.P.', expanded to include their unfinished 3rd album, singles, splits, and comp tracks. The 68-page accompanying booklet details the entire saga via Nina Cocoran’s essay and dozens of period photos, all housed in a stunning case-wrapped and varnished box. Sink into the ground and fly.

‘ИМА (Ima)’ is a work by KiMiMi, the solo project of a musician Shin-ya Ohno, which captures the layers of time and the presence of people inhabiting ‘Arimasuton Building’―a self-built structure created over 20 years by architect Keisuke Oka, located in Mita, Tokyo, and reconstructs them into music.

A multi-instrumentalist who masterfully handles a diverse range of instruments, with the gaida (an ancestor of the bagpipes) – which he studied in Bulgaria – at the core of his sound, KiMiMi has previously brought traces of daily life and folk melodies recorded during his travels back to the scale of home recording, weaving fantastical folk soundscapes through cassette tape works and stage music.

Alongside his musical activities, he has participated in the construction work for ‘Arimasuton Building’, recording the sounds of hammers and steel beams echoing on site, lunchtime chatter, the melodies of instruments played by others, and the sound of cars passing by. From the end of 2022, a zine titled ‘Monthly Arimasuton Building Urimasu’, based on this construction project, was launched. KiMiMi incorporates these recordings into the musical works he contributes to each issue, layering sounds from live instruments―including the gaida, accordion, guitar, flute, ukulele, piano, foot-pump organ, melodica and xylophone―alongside a few synthesiser tones, to shape a soundscape imbued with the humidity and breath of the site.

KiMiMi’s creative process is characterised not by planned construction, but by an attitude of entrusting the work to chance, intuition and the passage of time. Fragmented recordings are layered, set aside for a time, and then unearthed again. Through this repetition, the music naturally takes shape. This resonates perfectly with the process of ‘Arimasuton Building’, which was built up improvisationally, layer by layer, without any pre-prepared blueprints.

‘ИМА (Ima)’ marks the current stage of KiMiMi’s sonic journey and represents an attempt to gracefully transcend the boundaries between architecture and music, documentation and creation, and the individual and the community. The clamour of the city, the tranquillity of manual labour, laughter, and every sound resonating at the Arimasuton Building site blend with KiMiMi’s music, reflecting the very passage of time in which people live.

Following the release last year of Mama Terra’s 'Chameleons (Live Interpretations Of Herbie Hancock)', and their acclaimed 2023 debut studio album 'The Summoned', Scotland’s leading jazz ensemble return with the new album: 'Inner Space’.

Building on the musical themes and ambition of their debut, ‘Inner Space’ explores the reality and potential of the human condition - ‘what we are and what we can be!’ - introducing new instrumentation to their remarkable sound, as well as the iconic narration of Conrad Roberts, known for his 1971 collaboration with Miles Davis.

The album was recorded between the band’s native Glasgow, Los Angeles and Brooklyn, under the direction of leader, composer and producer CAFOLLA, joined by Grammy nominated co-producer and engineer Joel Hamilton.

Musically, influences range from Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, John and Alice Coltrane, to Terence Blanchard and David Axlrod, Kamasi Washington, Scott Walker and Don Ellis, to Holst, and Mama Terra’s sound remains as distinctive as their inspiration is eclectic. Alongside CAFOLLA (Piano, Moog Synthesisers and Hammond Organ) and regular collaborator Konrad Wiszniewski (Saxophones), is the striking and inventive soprano voice of Rachel Lightbody, which has become a defining feature of Mama Terra’s original take on spiritual jazz.

Conrad Roberts appears on two tracks. CAFOLLA, a lifetime fan the poet's contribution to Davis's ‘Live-Evil’ (1971), decided to track down Roberts to recite words written for what became lead track, ‘Inner Space (Narration by Conrad Roberts)’. Not only did Roberts oblige, he was also inspired to contribute words he had initially prepared for Miles, in the event they worked together again, which appear on ‘Bliss (Words & Narration By Conrad Roberts)’, moved by what he felt was a continuity in the works.

The album also features classical music stars The Ayoub Sisters as guest string section throughout and New York trumpeter Jeremy Pelt returns to guest on ’The Observers’, alongside an incredible ensemble of players who shape the Mama Terra vision: music for the the eye of the storm, where fear, beauty and stillness coexist. A deep and ambitious 9-track contemporary jazz album.

The ultimate Chicago house & disco collector's gem returns 7 years after completely selling out and vanishing from shelves. D&E Recordings resurrects its legendary, long out-of-print debut release with the "Chi-Grooves EP". One of Dave Maze's finest moments (and that's saying summat!), the EP perfectly encapsulates those effortless, disco-inspired house grooves full of warm instrumentation and sensual vocal elements which the producer quickly made his trademark. If you're a fan of Daniel Wang's Balihu tackle, Metro Area, Strictly Jaz Unit and the more disco-orientated side of Gene Hunt, this one's for you! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Dave Maze continues to be a permanent fixture in our racks, but this one takes it right back to the beginning which, criminally, we missed. Thank the disco-house lords at D&E for slipping out a cheeky repress. Might be the last chance saloon on this bad boi so don't sleep if ya dig the sounds.

Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore’s nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally).

Over the last 3 years, Media Puzzle have churned out 3 scuzzy post-punk albums and 2 blisteringly short, and fun EPs. “Residing somewhere between Suicide’s dark melodies, and Uranium Clubs remote eccentricities".

Having carved out a space between drum machine-riddled egg-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, their newest record is a departure from previous efforts, and it seems, a maturing…

After a year of DIY recording and touring, Media Puzzle grace the track with their 4th (and still somewhat speedy) album, “New Racehorse”. Ditching the previous drum machine-focused, egg-punk fashion.. This fourth album is the most collaborative yet, mixing oddball pop and garage punk.

'Everything I Ever Saw' finds The Menzingers entering a new era in what's already been a storied career.

The Philadelphia punk legends' eighth album chronicles moments of significant change-- the personal, the political, and the universal-- while returning to the core creative principles that first put them on the map with listeners the world over. Twenty years in, The Menzingers have discovered that the wisdom gained with time's passing is even stronger than the emotional armor they once wore in their youth, and 'Everything I Ever Saw' captures the quartet embracing the here and now while strengthening the bonds that have held them together.

The Menzingers have always created as a four- headed unit, with all members (vocalist/ guitarist Greg Barnett, vocalist/ guitarist Tom May, bassist Eric Keen, drummer Joe Godino) throwing in their respective talents as part of the craft--but for 'Everything I Ever Saw', the group worked in creative symbiosis more than ever before. "The way we made this record feels the most like how the band was in the very beginning: Me and Tom coming to the band with the most basic element of a song, and the four of us shaping that," Barnett says.

Instrumental in building that excitement was locally centered and nationally renowned production legend Will Yip, who threw in with the Menzingers on 2017's 'After the Party' and their sonically expansive 2019 record 'Hello Exile'. This time around, Yip once again became an unofficial Menzinger while the band crafted these 11 songs in their South Philly space. "Working with Will was like a homecoming," May beams while talking about Yip's contributions. "We've grown up together over these years, and we're still incredibly close friends. He's the best at gassing you up and making sure everybody's on the right page, but he's also so good at pointing out stuff that might not fit the vision without being a fucking prick. He's the hardest working person that we've come across in the music industry, and he's incredibly inspiring."

Wewantsounds continues its Japanese reissue program with the first official international release of one of the most sought-after City Pop albums out of Japan, the 1979 classic 'Summer-Time Love Song' by The Milky Way. Originally released on the Seven Seas label, the album was produced by Makoto Matsushita with Kazuo Nobuta, representing a peak of the sophisticated studio craft that defined the late-70s Japanese transition into high-fidelity AOR and Jazz-Fusion.

The album serves as a vital precursor to Matsushita’s own 1981 cult masterpiece 'First Light'. Here, he and Nobuta lead the cream of Japanese session musicians—including the renowned Yasuaki Shimizu—through a superb mix of AOR, funk, and Brazilian music. From the sun-drenched bossa nova rhythms of the Jobim classic 'Wave' to a sophisticated rendition of Boz Scaggs’ classic 'Harbor Lights', finishing with the dreamy rhythms of 'Endless Summer', the record is a masterclass in elegant funky arrangements and relaxed harmonies.

As music journalist Paul Bowler writes in the liner notes for this release: "'Summer-Time Love Song' represents a fascinating bridge in Japanese pop history; a moment where the breezy aspirations of the 70s met the meticulous studio perfectionism that would soon take over the world."

This deluxe edition features the original artwork, showcasing classic photography by the cult photographer Shinpei Asai—famed for his iconic work on the Pacific album by Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, and Tatsuro Yamashita. Newly remastered and including its OBI strip, this reissue finally makes one of the most coveted albums of the 70s Japanese scene accessible to Japanese music fans worldwide.

This is a reissue of a rare killer single by The Moon Boys (aka The Hippy Boys) and The Pioneers as initially produced by Joe Gibbs and released in 1969 on the Amalgamated Records label in Jamaica and in the U.K. that same year. It was only reissued once by Trojan in a box of singles called “Spirit Of '69 - The Boss Reggae Sevens Collection” which is also quite rare today.

The Mooney Suzuki's landmark debut 'People Get Ready' is getting the deluxe treatment for its 25th anniversary! The full album is completely remastered and includes the rarity 'I'm Not Talkin' along with the band’s 1999 concert at The Cooler in NYC, a blistering, sweat-soaked performance never before released. This seminal 2000s album has never sounded better. Long hailed as one of the ignition sparks of the early-2000s garage-rock revival, 'People Get Ready' helped define the sound and swagger of a scene that would soon reshape rock music. Its explosive energy, razor-wire riffs, and unfiltered urgency were a blueprint for a generation of bands emerging from New York’s downtown clubs. Members of The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and other contemporaries have spoken about the electric atmosphere of the band, and 'People Get Ready' stands as one of the records that proved a new wave of rock was not only possible, but inevitable. The Mooney Suzuki’s raw, soul-infused attack set a tone that their peers absorbed, expanded, and carried into the global spotlight.

Lee Morgan hadn’t cut a Blue Note session for more than two years when he entered Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs on April 28, 1960 to record Leeway. What was produced that day was vintage hard bop of the highest quality with the trumpeter leading a top-flight quintet featuring Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums. The 4-song set includes Morgan’s hard-driving tribute to Blue Note’s founders “The Lion And The Wolff,” McLean’s emphatic “Midtown Blues,” and two pieces by composer Cal Massey: the easy-swinging “These Are Soulful Days” and rousing “Nakatini Suite.”

Lee Morgan’s magnum opus The Sidewinder - recorded in 1963 and release in 1964 - was both a comeback and a coronation. The prodigious trumpeter had debuted on Blue Note in 1956 at the age of 18, but personal problems in the early-60s forced him off the scene temporarily. His rebound recording turned out to be The Sidewinder, an assured and energetic set of 5 indelible Morgan originals featuring tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins. The album became his biggest commercial success fueled by the irrepressible title track.

'In The Fishtank' is an ever ongoing project of Konkurrent, an independent music distributor in the Netherlands.

West Hill Music is a new sub-label from Periodica Records dedicated exclusively to productions curated by Mystic Jungle and conceived at West Hill Studio in Napoli, a longstanding creative hub active for more than a decade.
The project aims to reclaim and reimagine the language of mid1980s music, drawing from both American and European new wave through a personal filter that freely and instinctively blends elements of Italo disco, rock and funk. The two tracks, freely skirting between disco and proto-house majesty, stand as a manifesto of this sonic synthesis and a further step in defining the aesthetic vision of the producer. On "Chasing Light", the collaboration with Igor Sekulovic continues, with the guitarist also appearing here as co-writer of the track, weaving together tense guitars, driving disco-rock bass-lines and slapback reggae-style vocals. "Under Pressure", on the other side, unfolds as a late-night electronic suite: minimal, aseptic and hypnotically repetitive.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: I wasn't expecting this - Naples' contemporary disco and funk star turning his hand to proto-house moods. As you'd expect from a musician of this pedigree, he absolutely nails the remit; leaving listenings the beguiling question: is this new or old? Keep 'em guessing and roll this out during your next peak time disco / house set and I guarantee the dancefloor will be putty in your hands.

NAD return to Funtown for another double pack of heavy hitting splices. From the low-slung disco-funk of opener "Riding High" to the slap-bass-driven, horn blasted funk stomp of "Afro Kissed" and back through the early hip-hop-disco meets Brit funk jive of (the very appropriately named) "Skate Groove", and the mellowed Rhodes jam, "Make It Right", which sounds like it's been recorded in the palm-shaded balmy confines of a tropical paradise. It's a right royal set throughout which our Idjut edit supremo delivers with his usual stylish finesse. Unmissable!

Evolution can be ugly and beautiful, painful and euphoric. 'An Undying Love For A Burning World' is the first new release from Neurosis in a decade, and a potent statement of intent and rebirth - one that marks the first new steps of resolve and resilience.

'An Undying Love For A Burning World' is an epic album of colossal hypnotism - beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band’s own and a true kindred spirit. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: 'There is no way in hell Neurosis with Aaron Turner will be anything but outstanding' turned out to be a pretty bang-on summary, with their latest album (and first in a decade) having all of the punky thrust of the early years and all the dark, complex melodicism of their later years. An ESSENTIAL album from one of the greatest bands in the arena.

Hot Case present two fantastic songs from 2007 by the great singer Dulce Neves for the first time on vinyl .

Born on January 28, 1960, in Mansoa, in the Oio region, in northern Guinea-Bissau, Dulce Neves is one of the greatest voices in Bissau-Guinean music. Coming from a family of musicians, she began her professional singing career at the age of 16. After the country gained independence on September 24, 1973, she became the pioneer among female vocalists to join the famous group Super Mama Djombo (whose name references the protective god of warriors), with whom she recorded several albums delivering sublime, politically engaged music blending Tina and gumbe styles.


After completing primary school in Bubaque (an island in the Bijagos archipelago), then secondary school at the Kwame Nkrumah national high school in Bissau, and secretarial courses in 1976, Dulce Neves spent ten years working at the National Bank of Guinea-Bissau, all while continuing to sing.

In 1980, she decided to return to her passions — singing and music — and launched a solo career. Four years later, she won the “Prix Calao,” followed in 1985 by the “President of Mali Prize.” It wasn’t until 1996 that Nha Destino arrived, her debut album with its afro-zouk-gumbe flavors, sung in Portuguese Creole. In 2000, Dulce Neves was appointed Ambassador of Modern Bissau-Guinean Music by President Kumba Yala.
In 2007, the album Mundo Rabiba was released, blending gumbe and afro-zouk — and it was a massive success, going gold that same year.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Professional diggers Hot Casa know a thing or two about unearthing seams of sonic gold. This is a 21 carat offering, two tracks from Guinea-Bissau that make your heart burst with emotion.

Nia Archives returns with 'Emotional Junglist', an album about love – but not just the shimmering romantic parts. Written throughout 2025 – a year that saw Nia fall in, and horrifically back out of, love – each track will encompass something of the experience.

Marking her biggest sonic leap to date, her alt-jungle sound honed alongside James Ford (Arctic Monkey’s, Blur), Ethan P. Flynn (FKA Twigs, David Byrne) and Julia Michaels (Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter), will see her flirt with everything from dewy-eyed indie pop and nineties electronica, underscored by the syncopated beats and thudding basslines of her jungle roots with a tracklist that features Jorja Smith and Sampha.

The motif for the album is a shell – tough on the outside, but through pressure, maturation and resilience, something precious is built within. Nodding to the female form, the spiral chamber also symbolizes growth and self-development.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A stunning return for Bradford-born soulful musician, Nia Archives. Perfectly balancing the riotously heavy bass and glitched, skittering drums with silken vocals and soaring synth strings, 'Emotional Junglist' does what it says on the tin musically, and continues Nia's ascent to the upper echelons of production and songwriting mastery.

To mark the 45th anniversary of its release, Secretly Canadian release Yoko Ono’s seminal 1981 album 'Season of Glass'.

One of Pitchfork’s Top 200 albums of the 1980s, 'Season of Glass' was released in June 1981, just seven months after the senseless murder of Ono’s husband and creative partner, John Lennon. Full of songs about love, loss, anger and fear, the album reflected Ono’s experience in stark detail, creating almost a companion piece to Ono and Lennon’s 1970 Plastic Ono Band “primal scream” albums. “'Season of Glass' was really just being me, I suppose,” Ono told Newsweek in 1982.

“Sort of, it was like a primal scream in a way; you know, something happened in my life, and I just had to say it. And I think it was therapeutic for me more than anything else. And I was pretty honest, I suppose.”

Ono’s fifth studio album, 'Season of Glass' was also the artist’s most commercially successful to date, cracking the Top 50 on Billboard’s Album Chart, but it was not without controversy. The album’s cover was a photograph of Lennon’s blood-soaked glasses, just as they were returned to Ono from Roosevelt Hospital after his murder. Though David Geffen, the head of Geffen Records, who had released Ono and Lennon’s 'Double Fantasy' in November 1980, and released the original version of 'Season of Glass', implored Ono to change the cover, Ono stood her ground.

“The record company called me and said the record shops would not stock the record unless I changed the cover,” Ono wrote in the liner notes to 'ONOBOX.' “I didn’t understand it. Why? They said it was in bad taste. I felt like a person soaked in blood coming into a living room full of people and reporting that my husband was dead, his body was taken away, and the pair of glasses were the only thing I had managed to salvage – and people looking at me saying it was in bad taste to show the glasses to them.”

“I’m not changing the cover,” Ono recalled telling Geffen. “This is what John is now.”

Backed by the same band that had played on 'Double Fantasy', the sound of 'Season of Glass' sits in alignment next to that album, which at the time was already considered an artistic triumph for Ono, who was inspiring young artists like the B-52s and Sonic Youth.

In the years since its release, the honest, loving, sometimes harrowing nature of the songs on 'Season of Glass' have meant that it has only gained in stature. Now universally embraced as a powerful artistic statement about grief and loss, it is considered a landmark release, and among Ono’s best works; a fully realized artistic statement. Ultimately, 'Season of Glass' is a stunning, cathartic listen. Still, Ono has always insisted there’s one thing the album is not: healing.

“What healing? That’s another thing most people don’t know, but the widows of the world will know,” she told the Los Angeles Times nearly a decade after the album’s release. “Losing a husband is something you can’t shake. It’s not just a feeling of missing him. It’s something more that could never heal. His loss will always stay.”

Recorded in June 1978 during a sweltering Paris summer, Ose’s 'Adonia' captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination and emerging technology. At just 26, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the French music press (notably Best), and guitarist /bassist in progressive garage bands. Drawn increasingly away from British prog toward keyboards and synthesizers, he began envisioning a more spatial music situated somewhere between Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. That triangulation would define 'Adonia'.

Over the past five years, Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu has emerged as one of the most exciting artists of the moment.

Back-to-back albums 'Smiling with No Teeth' (2021) and 'Struggler' (2023) were released to critical acclaim, cementing him as one of the most distinct and innovative artists to have risen from the Australia scene in recent years. Now, at 27, he readies himself to release his third album, 'Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge'.

An eclectic musical journey sits in the underscore of the album. A kaleidoscopic display of instrumentation and sound bending see genre borders crumble into dust. The sound bed shifts with the turning tides of the record. Neo-Soul feeding into Alt Pop, Synth Punk into Funk. This delicate weaving guides listeners through moments of collective ecstasy and desolation, resistance and joy, dance and reflection. The ability to tune his blended taste into one, to carve the purest of human emotions into song is a unique gift that Owusu has honed, the depth of feeling in the record effortlessly matching the depth of his lyricism.

After falling out with Sir Coxsone, the legendary head of the Kingston label Studio One, Lee Perry first founded his own band and then, in 1973, set up his own studio in his backyard. What was born out of necessity developed into a unique success story. With both The Upsetters and the Black Ark, Perry made music history - most notably with the 1976 release of the album 'Super Ape', on which he made the genre of dub bubble and boil from the mixing desk in previously unheard ways. For Perry, the studio is like a living organism. Whether he truly experiences it that way or simply lets too much ganja go up in smoke, for Perry the equipment is organic, empathetic, and intelligent.

The catch is that the results sound exactly like that as well. Long before sampling was invented, he layered tracks of deep basslines, echoes, and reverb with various self-recorded sound sequences - often played in reverse - on top of, into, and beneath each other. In other words, Perry was the first producer who made the music instead of the band. Among other things, this earned him the title ‘Salvador Dali of Dub.’

The cultural phenomenon that is the Wu-Tang cannot accurately be described without referencing one of the pillars in the Clan's discography; Chef Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx remains firmly planted as one of the defining triumphs in their artistic legacy. The oft referred "Purple Tape", has been cited and debated by many as the greatest Wu-Tang solo project to date and a remains a bullet point in any discussion involving the greatest "Cocaine Rap" or "Street Hop" albums of all time.

Raekwon's narrative, plays out like a movie script from the violent, drug fueled, underbelly of New York City's criminal landscape, intricately woven over instrumentals from the legendary mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, The RZA. Even the album's main feature "Tony Starks aka Ghostface Killer", referred to as such rather described as a "guest star" appearing on 12 of the albums 18 tracks. It should be noted that while the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx did produce a string of successful singles, such as "Ice Cream", "Incarcerated Scarfaces", and "Criminology", like all classic cinema, the album was intentionally engineered to be appreciated in one sitting, played from beginning to end.

In continuing with it's proud tradition of honoring historically significant hip hop albums, Get On Down is honored to present Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx", back on double translucent purple vinyl. This edition features for the first time ever on vinyl, the formerly CD only bonus track, "North Star (Jewels)". And if that wasn't enough, the entire album also features completely enhanced and painstakingly remastered audio. This is the definitive must-own vinyl edition of Raekwon’s masterpiece.

Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based Raxon makes his Lone Romantic debut with a two-tracker that sees him step decisively into breakbeat territory.

A DJ for over 20 years, Raxon's journey through sound took him from the late 90s rock, hip-hop and trance of his early teens through to the Barcelona scene where he began releasing music with some of the most respected labels in dance music — Kompakt, Ellum, Cocoon and Turbo Recordings among them.

Heads will move on 'Vision Mission' - low-slung and deliberate with gated breaks cut sharp into a two-step swing that carries a distinctly UK sensibility, and underpinned by a gritty, warping bassline and a twisted vocal coiling through like a live wire.

'Wrong Song' shifts the weight forward into physical, modern drum and bass terrain. A deep and relentless, undulating bassline drives the momentum while mechanical stabs and a grinding mid-range give the track its industrial edge.

Back in 2002, Reigning Sound unleashed Time Bomb High School, an earth-scorching platter of rock and roll that conquered the hearts and ears of everyone from Little Steven Van Zandt to The Hives’ Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist. Time Bomb High School has since become a cratedigger’s grail, out of print on vinyl since its initial release. Now those seekers have reason to rejoice: Time Bomb High School is returning to vinyl; remastered and featuring new cover art by Greg Cartwright.

Hailed as “a truly unimpeachable rock’n’roll-soul classic” by The Guardian, Time Bomb High School was a breakthrough for the Memphis-based quartet of Cartwright (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Scott (bass, backing vocals), Greg Roberson (drums), and Alex Greene (organ, guitar, backing vocals). The songs — Cartwright’s originals and covers like “Stormy Weather” and “I’d Much Rather Be With the Boys” alike — are as alive as ever, but the heart of this edition of Time Bomb High School lies in its sequencing, which was kept true to the 2002 first pressing. The Side 1 features mid-tempo ballads, and love songs. Side 2 is all rockers.

The album opens with four of Reigning Sound’s most vulnerable yearners before breaking out into a rendition of Memphis hometown heroes The Guilloteens “I Don’t Believe.” From this, an almost entirely new album emerges. The band’s swagger and bravado remains intact, but the album feels more earnest and open-hearted, like they’ve put down their guard to really let the listener in, its ravers feeling like shelter from the storm. There’s no wrong way to listen to Time Bomb High School, but this is its definitive form: a classic that’s ready for rediscovery, as vital to the rock canon as the dusty 45s that inspired Reigning Sound.

From small beginnings in 1974 as a local cinema and university event, Film Fest Gent has grown yearly in stature and is now recognised as one of the major destinations for the film industry. A vital component is the celebration of film music in the shape of the World Soundtrack Awards which honours the very best composers at work in the world of cinema.

In 2016 the award went to one of the most brilliant composers of his generation, Ryuichi Sakamoto. This is the first overview of his remarkable catalogue of film scores, fully approved by the composer and performed by the masterful Brussels Philharmonic under the baton of Dirk Brossé. Sakamoto was already a celebrated pioneer in electronic music and composer/pianist/singer in Japan when director Nagisa Oshima asked him to write the score for Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence in 1983 and also to star alongside David Bowie.

In a 30 year plus career since then he has worked with the cream of film directors including Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor), Brian De Palma (Snake Eyes), Pedro Almodovar (High Heels) and most recently Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (The Revenant). This compilation is a fitting tribute to his status as one of the greatest living musicians and film composers.

When 'Conal' was released in 1981 on the Norwegian independent label Uniton Records with an initial run of 4,000 LPs, Schnitzler had already long been known beyond the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany and was now appreciated worldwide as a media artist and musician. In addition to the many cassette and LP editions he released himself, international labels were now increasingly releasing his music.

In the same year as 'Conal', for example, the album 'Control' was released on the American label DYS, followed in 1986 by 'Concert' in the USA and 'Consequenz 2' in Spain. Schnitzler worked tirelessly and his total work of art, including his music, was becoming increasingly multifaceted. 'Conal' is a good example of this development.

In 1968, three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves The Shaggs. At that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the group’s five-year run. Dot, Betty and Helen (and occasionally Rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin Jr., who was convinced they were going to be big. Years earlier, Austin’s mother gave him a palm reading, predicting that her son would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two sons after his mother died, and that his daughters would form a popular music outfit. The first two became reality, so Austin was certain the third would follow suit.

With pure confidence and his mother’s bold prediction, Austin decided that his daughters would forgo attending the local high school in favor of home schooling interspersed with a strict regiment of instrumental and vocal practice, along with jumping jacks and sit-ups. Soon after The Shaggs would enter Fleetwood Recording studios in Revere, Massachusetts to record their sole album, 'Philosophy Of The World', a collection of garage rock tunes that balanced charm and discordance in equal measure. Austin would spend most of his savings not only on the session but also on the manufacturing costs to press up 1000 copies of the album (900 of which mysteriously vanished upon completion).

'Throughout Philosophy's simple truths are revealed through the pen of sister Dot, the songwriter of the band. The rich people want what the poor people got, just as the poor people want what the rich people got. Your parents love you. There is happiness in nearness and sadness in the farness.

The album failed to fulfill Austin’s expectations of rock stardom, though the group remained together until their father’s death, performing frequently at the Fremont town hall and a local nursing home, no further albums were released. That might have been the end of it, until rock band NRBQ discovered a copy at a Massachusetts radio station and re-released it in 1980. Rolling Stone’s reviewer at the time described it as the most stunningly awful wonderful record I’ve heard in ages.

Nearly 50 years later, the album ranks among the most polarizing LPs of all time. Some said it was the worst thing ever made. Others felt it was one of the great long players of the 20th century. Frank Zappa famously dubbed the band better than The Beatles, while Kurt Cobain placed the album at #5 on his list of Top 50 favorite albums. Original copies of the album fetch for $10,000.

Decades later and one could argue that maybe Austin was right all along. We’re all here, still enthralled by the purity of The Shaggs.

A decade into his recording career, pianist Horace Silver made the album that would endure as the crown jewel of a catalog that boasts numerous hard bop classics. Song for My Father captured the transition of his quintet with two tracks taken from an October 1963 session with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, and Roy Brooks. A year later Silver entered Van Gelder Studio again with a new band featuring Carmell Jones, Joe Henderson, Teddy Smith, and Roger Humphries for a session that yielded four more cuts including what would become his signature tune, “Song for My Father,” a dedication to his father that was inspired by both his Cape Verdean heritage and the music Silver had heard on a recent trip to Brazil.

Chicago singer-songwriter Max Subar laid down the bones of 'Anything Could Be', his debut album, in a house on the shore of a frozen lake in Wisconsin. Subar returned to the sonic and spiritual landscape he’d cultivated during the initial ten day session, remaining present in that moment by working when he could truly occupy its heart. Most of the additional sessions that add texture and color to the album were recorded in Subar’s home studio, in the same house where Case Oats, the Casey Gomez-Walker-led outfit in which Subar plays guitar, recorded their 2025 debut 'Last Missouri Exit'. His brother, Sam Subar, played drums. Further instrumentation was provided by Case Oats bandmates Spencer Tweedy (drums on 'I Never' and 'Way Up'), Jason Ashworth (upright bass), and Scott Daniel (violin), as well as frequent collaborators Chet Zenor (electric guitar), Kelly Hannemann (piano), and Sarah Weddle (vibraphone, organ, and electric piano).

The arrangements that took shape are generous and illuminative, giving flesh to the bones of 'Anything Could Be’s live guitar and vocal takes without sacrificing their spontaneity. “Performing no more than a few takes of these parts was crucial to keep the songs from ever feeling laborious, tired, or overworked,” says Subar. “If I couldn’t get it in about three takes, something wasn’t right. Maybe the part was too busy. Maybe it was my approach. Whatever it meant, I took it as a sign to move on.”

The result of this process is a mesmerizing, open-hearted debut that grows with the listener, rewarding time and close attention. Title track and lead single 'Anything Could Be' is an invitation to meet Subar on this wavelength, his voice invoking the memory of a dream while his guitar gently pulls him through its logic, arriving at the desire for freedom, openness, and growth that animates the record. On 'Like You’ve Known It', the arrangement recedes into the sound of windchimes and waves breaking on the shore, an organic pulse that bears the song out into the water. His use of pedal steel on songs like 'See Saw' allows him to stretch time, following its undulation to a stunning moment of witness where what’s stirred to life is nothing less than a once-stagnant spirit, a long-simmering breakthrough that comes to fruition, at last, on 'As The Weather', where his voice rises to meet that breakthrough with grace and gratitude for what he has weathered. 'Anything Could Be' offers the listener both the transformative space in which the album was shaped, and a portrait of the artist, and person that artist became in making it.

Its 11 songs are imbued with what the poet Adrienne Rich called “a wild patience,” a radical stillness that is, itself, a journey towards consciousness, peace, and self-awareness. It makes no promises about what’s next. Just the same, it leaves you in breathless anticipation for what that may be, so long as it stirs Subar to pick up his guitar and play through it as he did this chapter of his life.

Unreleased Material from the Archives. EAST TWO + 5 comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972-73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe.

The title track, "East Two," is one of two pieces on this album originating at a two day October 1972 session at Chicago's Streeterville Studios. It's an ominous, sprawling processional, and the only known recording of this moody work. Arkestra baritone saxophonist Pat Patrick played electric bass on this session, which also featured Ra's typically idiosyncratic synth, along with fine solos from Kwame Hadi (trumpet) and Arkestra mainstay John Gilmore (tenor sax). The other track is an alternate version of "Rocket #9" where Ra's voice is scarcely heard in the ensemble vocals in favor of the Space Ethnic Voices. Additional material is taken from 1973 Variety Studios sessions in NYC including "In Tomorrow's Realm," where veteran Arkestra bassist Ronnie Boykins provided the anchor with his bass line forming it's vital rhythmic framework. This would be the final year Boykins worked regularly with Ra and this track is a fitting tribute to his role in the band, demonstrating how essential he was to Sun Ra's sound. CD version contains additional tracks of two live performances from 1984 and 1985.

For nearly 30 years, SUNN O))) – Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson – have pushed the boundaries of heavy music, straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own. Now, SUNN O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019’s acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album – their debut for Sub Pop – demonstrates the duo’s mastery of time and space, light and dark, and their willingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms.

The eponymously titled SUNN O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood (HuM, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair). This location proved crucial to the recording process. “The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees,” says O’Malley. “We could go hiking and be out in the woods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it.”

SUNN O))) have long welcomed collaborators into their self-contained world: past work has featured, Attila Csihar (Mayhem), composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, multi-instrumentalist Steve Moore, polymath Mark Deutrom, Silkworm’s Tim Midyett and legendary singer-songwriter Scott Walker. But on this album O’Malley and Anderson found fresh possibilities in the primal territory of the duo format, performing all the instrumentation themselves. “What’s been happening with our performances over the last couple years with the two of us and no other collaborators has been really fresh and exciting,” says Anderson.

The compositions on SUNN O))) are expansive and panoramic yet finely detailed, reflecting the arboreal setting in which they were recorded. Amidst howling feedback and glacial crunch, one finds surprisingly delicate moments: a field recording of water trickles beneath, piano interludes lend a hushed, solemn feel. All while the duo attains fresh heights of telepathic intensity as they shape music that breathes the bracing, earthy air of the Pacific Northwest.

Framing the album visually are two paintings by the late American artist Mark Rothko. Liner notes are by award-winning British writer Robert Macfarlane, famed for his works concerning landscape and the relationship between humanity and nature. Through the work of the band, Macfarlane, and Rothko, sound, word and visual combine into a fully immersive experience that is undeniably, completely SUNN O))).

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: One of the most infamous outfits in avant music, Sunn release their newest, eponymously titled behemoth. If you don't know them already, and you like cataclysmic distorted drone and world-shatteringly heavy lurches of slo-mo full-spectrum heft then give it a go! If that sounds good to you and you've not heard them before, then definitely give it a go! If that sounds bad, then you're wrong and it might not be the record for you. Long Live Sunn.

A sweeping, guitar-driven road trip that recalls and reinvigorates the slowcore and alt rock of the 90s and early aughts, 'Mount Zero', the debut LP from Swapmeet, marks the moment the Australian four-piece come into their own. Following their dreamy 2024 debut EP 'Oxalis', 'Mount Zero' arrives on the heels of the band’s signing to LA-based label Winspear, after stirring up buzz throughout Australia, taking home awards for Best Release and Best Song ('Ceiling Fan') at the South Australian Music Awards and earning the title of ‘Best Emerging Artist’ at SXSW Sydney. Mingling airy sweetness with jagged surrealism, 'Mount Zero' transmutes so many of the regrets and uncertainties of young adulthood into a burgeoning, newfound confidence. Though the members of Swapmeet often begin their songs by writing individually, the tracks on 'Mount Zero' ended up circling common themes: first loves, first heartbreaks, first embarrassments, first disasters. As they've done since their earliest days as a band, Swapmeet traded instruments throughout 'Mount Zero' and shared production duties as a foursome, developing their sound by layering dozens (sometimes hundreds) of tracks within each song, then carefully removing elements until the production took a clear shape. The result is a record where Swapmeet bottle up the tooth-gritting intensity of feeling yourself change at the cellular level under reality's unyielding pressures. It's a tribute to all the lives that can never be lived, all the paths that will never be followed--and an ode to the one that lies just ahead, too.

The legendary artist and producer Tricky today announces his new album, Different When It’s Silent, out 17 July 2026 via False Idols.

His 15th studio album and first full-length release under his own name in six years, Different When It’s Silent is a direct, focused record that reconnects with the distinctive sonic language that has defined Tricky’s work since his groundbreaking 1995 debut, Maxinquaye.

Following a premiere by Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music, the album’s first single, “Out Of Place” arrives as a powerful closing moment for the record. Featuring longtime collaborator Marta, the track pairs Marta’s restrained vocal with Tricky’s urgent, almost punk-like delivery. The contrast between the two creates a dynamic finale that captures the album’s stripped back intensity. Originally written for Marta’s own album, Tricky ultimately reclaimed “Out Of Place” for Different When It’s Silent.

Different When It’s Silent follows a prolific period of activity. Since 2020’s Fall to Pieces, Tricky has released music under several different guises, including the collaborative project Lonely Guest, the Fifteen Days project with producer Mike Theis under the name Theis Thaws, and last year’s joint record Out The Way with Marta, al via his own label, False Idols. Yet returning to an album under his own name took on a different shape.

“In my mind it was another side project” he explains. But after hearing the material, his manager Alan McGee felt the songs clearly belonged to a Tricky record.

Recorded between Tricky’s home in France and sessions in Bristol, the album draws strongly on the musical community that shaped him. Central to its sound is the voice of Bristol singer Mitch Sanders, whose soulful falsetto runs through much of the record. Their connection reflects a shared musical background and an instinctive chemistry that carries through the performances.

Across fourteen tracks, Tricky blends skeletal blues, brooding electronics, distorted guitars and stark hip-hop rhythms into a sound that feels both stripped-back and expansive. The album moves fluidly across styles while maintaining the restless experimentation that has defined his work for more than three decades.

“I just love making music” Tricky says. “I’m grateful I’ve had the chance to live this life and keep creating.”

With Different When It’s Silent, Tricky delivers one of the most focused and powerful records of his career - a reminder that artists who build their own language never fall out of time.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A wonderfully fluid, darkly evocative album from one of the masters of trip hop, recalling the emotional depths and dark worldview of his stunning 'Maxinquaye' LP. A beautifully produced behemoth that twists and turns, meanders and races in equal measure. An album that instantly recalls the best of ambient and trip-hop, while sounding perfectly new. Stunner.

'Fisherman's Blues' album sessions have been revisited for a brand new 3CD and 3LP Vinyl box set featuring previously unreleased recordings.

Almost 400 multi-track tape reels, totalling 150 hours of music, were recorded during the Waterboys' famous 'Fisherman's Blues' sessions of 1986-88. Among these were 80 tapes with no song titles, just rough notes like "jam" or "unknown." In 2024 band leader Mike Scott went through most of these, listening to them for the first time since they were recorded, and discovering in the process dozens of tracks the band had forgotten about; lost recordings, some improvised on the spot, others painstakingly worked on, that in many cases equal the quality of those on the original classic 1988 album. Scott has compiled these into a triple CD and vinyl collection titled 'THE LOST FISHERMAN'S BLUES RECORDINGS'.

Yard Act's third album, You're Gonna Need A Little Music, marks a major creative evolution for the Leeds band. After their Mercury Prize-nominated debut The Overload (2022), which explored capitalism and ambition through sharp post-punk storytelling, and the more musically adventurous Where's My Utopia? (2024), the band now turns its attention to deeper existential questions about identity, fulfilment, and shared reality.

Unlike their previous albums, which were largely assembled remotely or while touring, this record was written and recorded with all four members playing together in the same room over an uninterrupted five-month period. Working from a new studio in Leeds before finishing the album in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails, Beck, St. Vincent), the band wrote around 40–50 songs, allowing for greater experimentation and collaboration.

Musically, the album is presented as Yard Act's most diverse and confident work yet. Tracks range from the aggressive intensity of "Redeemer" to the disco-inspired title track, the indie energy of "Cherophobe Rock," and the reflective "Janey Said." The band believe this album represents the point where they have fully developed their own distinctive sound, comparing it to Blur's Parklife as the moment when a band truly finds its identity.

Lyrically, frontman James Smith moves away from the character-driven narratives of previous records towards a more impressionistic style. The songs explore themes of multiple realities, modern individualism, neoliberalism, and the difficulty of finding a shared truth in contemporary society. Despite tackling dark and cynical subjects, the album ultimately argues that music and creativity offer hope and connection.

The closing track, "Over The Barrel," embodies this balance between uncertainty and optimism, ending the album on a hopeful note despite acknowledging that the future remains unclear.

Overall, You're Gonna Need A Little Music is presented as Yard Act's most collaborative, ambitious, and fully realised album to date, combining their sharp social commentary with broader philosophical themes and a more expansive musical palette.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Yard Act's fourth album shows a wealth of the gritty punk-adjacent thud and roaring heft of their incendiary discography, but this time with a little more of a musical stretch towards electronic and dancefloor territories. Wonderfully inventive, constantly engaging post-everything indie-rock, from one of the most engaging bands in the game.

Captured on June 17, 1976 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, this newly released concert documents Yes at full mid-’70s strength—bold, exploratory, and firing on all cylinders.

Performing to a massive open-air crowd during their 1976 North American tour, the band delivers expansive arrangements, virtuosic interplay, and the unmistakable sense of scale that defined Yes as one of progressive rock’s greatest live acts.
