Latest new releases

We have 6 smashers for you from 19th April’s releases. We start with Serfs Up!, the third album from Fat White Family, which marks the most gratifying and unexpected creative volte-face in recent musical history. After Songs For Our Mothers, core members Lias and Nathan Saoudi relocated to Sheffield and set about writing something new. The majority of Cage The Elephant’s new album, Social Cues, was written during a break-up, lead singer Matt Schultz digging deep into his psyche to create fictional characters to tell aspects of a personal story far from fairytales. “It can be a vehicle to act out things that are hard to confront,” said Schultz. South London rapper Loyle Carner’s second album, Not Waving, But Drowning, features recent singles ‘Loose Ends’, ‘Ottolenghi’ and ‘You Don’t Know’ alongside 12 previously unreleased tunes, with guest appearances from Sampha, Jorja Smith, Tom Misch, Rebel Kleff & Kiko Bun, Jordan Rakei, as well as his mum Jean Coyle-Larner. Honk features the biggest hits and classic cuts from every studio album by The Rolling Stones from 1971 to 2016. The bonus disc of the deluxe 3-CD edition includes 10 live tracks recorded during the band’s recent sold-out tours. The Quireboys have made their most diverse album ever in Amazing Disgrace. And for a band celebrating its 35th anniversary, that’s saying something. This is a band at the peak of its creative powers.

Our album of the week comes from Jade Bird, who is a total breath of fresh air in the current musical landscape, a next-generation artist who appears as clued up on the past as she is determined to learn from its lessons: in control, sometimes in your face, and in possession of gifts beyond her years.

Our recommended releases for 12 April kick off with Fontaines D.C., whose evolution, like all the best bands, seems to have happened fast, and now they prepare to take on the world for real. With Dogrel, their ascent seems effortless. Since forming in 2009, Southampton’s very own Band Of Skulls have built a reputation with four acclaimed studio albums and a phenomenal live act. Their latest, Love Is All You Love, is a tough and tender record with a rebellious spirit that looks at how a little love and human kindness can help bring about positive change. Superstar DJs The Chemical Brothers go back to basics on their feral new album, No Geography, mixing it up the way only they can, and still dancing to a different beat, with guest appearances from Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora and Japanese rapper Nene. Begin Again, the sixth studio album by nine-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones, presents seven snapshots of creativity from one of the music world’s most versatile and consistently intriguing artists, running the gamut from riveting electronic experiments to starkly acoustic folk ballads to organ- and horn-drenched soul. This Wild Willing is Glen Hansard’s fourth solo album, and features a group of global talents who each left an indelible mark on this recording. “When you surround yourself with great musicians and do your best to keep up, stay loose, give little direction, and allow everyone to bring what they bring, something transformative may happen.”

Our album of the week comes from In The Shape Of A Storm, which Damien Jurado recorded over just two hours. In place of the thundering drums and psychedelic arrangements that defined the trilogy of concept albums he made with Richard Swift, there’s only Jurado’s voice, acoustic guitar, and occasional accompaniment from Josh Gordon on guitar.
