Latest new releases

The first of 29 March’s bangers is El Magnifico, which bears all the hallmarks that have made Ed Harcourt such an admired songwriter and that also finds him striving for something new: a desire to seek fresh challenges and rewards. Evolution comes as a welcomed surprise for fans of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sheryl Crow after she publicly stated that 2018’s Threads would be her last-ever studio album. Eros Zeta & the Perfumed Guitars, the twenty-seventh studio album from Australian rock stalwarts The Church, expands the mythology established in 2023’s The Hypnogogue, and it speaks to an endless creativity for a band that’s been around for over forty years. The Muscle Shoals Sessions feature twelve of Texas’ greatest hits, plus two covers, stripped back to their bare bones; guided by the soulful voice of Sharleen Spiteri and accompanied by the delicate piano lines of Spooner Oldham, the songs shine in this format and prove their worth as timeless classics. It’s obvious, listening to Sarah Shook & The Disarmers’ clear-eyed, biting and unafraid songs, that integrity is the most important thing to the country-punk outfit from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the raw and resilient tracks on Revelations new album come before anything else for this band.

Our release of the week is Interplay, the third album from Ride since their 2015 reunion, and it’s the sound of the group connecting all the dots, taking the frenzied guitar attacks, hypnotic grooves and dreamy melodic hooks of their early work and setting it in a more expansive sonic template, one that takes in synth flourishes, psychedelic folk, electronic beats and noir-pop soundscapes.

The first of 22 March’s sublime 6 comes from Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee, whose Tigers Blood is a confident album of lush alt-tinged country, her voice honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting: determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell whoever will listen. Julia Holter’s sixth album, Something in the Room She Moves, takes its inspiration from the complexity and transformability of our bodies: it’s fluid-sounding, evoking the body’s internal sound world with gliding vocal melodies, glissing synth lines and warm winds and reeds. In 2022, Big Thief frontwoman Adrianne Lenker took a risk by inviting three musicians who didn’t know each other to record with her, and the magical result became Bright Future, a 12-track telling of a journeyed heart. Aoife O’Donovan’s latest, All My Friends, is a set of songs looking at women’s suffrage, and the sonic soundscape – expansive orchestral arrangements, choral vocals and a variety of instruments – is beyond anything she has done in the past. Glasgow Eyes marks 40 years of The Jesus And Mary Chain, their maelstrom of melody, feedback and controlled chaos now informed more audibly by their love for Suicide and Kraftwerk and the less disciplined attitudes found in jazz – but don’t worry, this isn’t ‘the Mary Chain goes jazz’!

Our release of the week is Elbow’s tenth studio album, Audio Vertigo, which marks a significant step change for the group: built from “gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garagy rooms”, it’s both more direct and more sonically varied than its predecessor.
