Latest new releases

Our six smashers due out on 17 & 24 August start with Performance, the new album from White Denim, a band who have long pulled hard at the parameters of rock & roll, admitting garage punk, soul, psychedelia, prog, jazz and blues while holding onto its vital good-time core. There simply is no other band quite like them. It’s been months since the last Oh Sees opus, so its obviously time for another! So crack the coffers for Smote Reverser, an album of head-destroying psych-epics to rock out to. Perhaps the most notable thing about the album is the artistic restlessness underpinning its flights of fancy. On their ninth record, Thank You For Today, premier US indie-rock outfit Death Cab For Cutie have expanded to a 5-piece and broadened their sonic palette accordingly, resulting in a subtle, important work full of catchy tunes! Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds returns with Re:member, a “breaking-out-of-a-shell” album recorded using his pioneering Stratus software that operates two self-playing semi-generative player pianos. It’s a work of opposing forces: twinkly piano sits behind forceful thuds of strings and rises and falls with ease. Everybody, Anyone is the fifth studio album by UK R&B aces Stone Foundation. Recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn studios, it features a healthy sprinkling of guest musicians, including Kathryn Williams, Steve White and Weller himself.

Our release of the week is Marauder, the first new music from Interpol since 2014’s El Pintor. It’s a multi-layered album, full of subtle and steely songs that easily meet the test of what makes a great Interpol album.

Our 6 summer sizzlers for 3 & 10 August start with James, who release their 15th(!) studio album, Living In Extraordinary Times; as Tim Booth puts it: “We knew something was up when Leicester City won the league then Brexit, then Trump. It’s as if we’d slipped into an alternate reality, a Philip K Dick reality. We are living in extraordinary times.” Politics Of Living is the third studio album from Irish rockers Kodaline, on which the band team up with some of the biggest producers and writers out there. “We needed to take the time to make sure this was the best album we could make,” says Steve Garrigan. “We are so happy with it and can’t wait for people to hear it!” Jake Shears, lead vocalist and a primary songwriter for New York band Scissor Sisters, is stepping out on his own for the first time; and his self-titled debut solo album, which adds a swampy, Southern feel to the Sisters sound we’re familiar with, is the talk of the town at the moment. The Magpie Salute’s new album, High Water I, represents a musical union of swaggering rock ’n’ roll, psychedelic blues, and campfire-worthy storytelling that first took flight in 2016 when the band first assembled for a now seminal Woodstock gig. North-western hard rockers Massive Wagons release their best record to date, Full Nelson, a stompathon full of surprises and energy. It’s a delightful rollercoaster of a record that you could never tire of, and stands above all of their other releases so far.

Our album of the week is Coup De Grace, the third solo album from Miles Kane. It’s a blistering exercise in modern rock ‘n’ roll, written mostly with Jamie T, and it’s well worth the wait. “This record is for me the most important record I’ve made to date,” said Miles. “It’s been 5 years in the making, a lot of emotion and excitement has gone into making this album!”
