Releases for 28 February 2025
The first of 28 February’s blockbuster releases comes from Bdrmm, whose trademark shoegaze sound has morphed into a broader, more expansive and varied sonic palette, and it’s immediately clear that the Hull band have broken new ground on Microtonic. After leaving their long-term creative retreat, Doves were physically unanchored, and Constellations for the Lonely is a new, intense, filmic and classic Doves album. Supertramp was, in 1979, one of the biggest bands in the world, and their complete set at the 8,000-seat Pavillon de Paris on 2 December that year is now being released on LP and CD for the first time as Live in Paris ’79. More than 40 years on, Sex Pistols’ output continues to resonate in ways most could never have imagined, and Atlanta features their gig there on 4 January 1978, with recordings from their subsequent gigs at Dallas and San Francisco to follow in March and April. Finally, while it should need little introduction, the now legendary Ace of Spades was a truly game-changing slice of hard-rock perfection, and Motörhead changed the musical landscape forever.
Our release of the week comes from Yazz Ahmed, who delivers a groundbreaking fusion of tradition and innovation on her stunning new album, A Paradise in the Hold, on which she creates a contemporary jazz project that is set to make a lasting impact on the genre.
- Yazz Ahmed A Paradise in the Hold CD £11.99 / 2-LP £28.99
- Yazz Ahmed delivers a groundbreaking fusion of tradition and innovation on her stunning new album, A Paradise in the Hold, on which she creates a contemporary jazz project that is set to make a lasting impact on the genre. The record is a tribute to the sorrowful songs of Bahrain’s pearl divers, the strength of Arab women and the celebratory rhythms of women’s traditional drumming circles, while also telling the story of Yazz’s own decade-long voyage of self-discovery.
- Bdrmm Microtonic LP £26.99
- Bdrmm’s trademark sound hasn’t disappeared by any means, the band’s more guitar-heavy beginnings being a blueprint and influence for many of the groups breaking through in the here and now. This is a time when shoegaze is enjoying its strongest revival since its inception in the ’80s, but those guitars are now incorporated into a broader, more expansive and varied sonic palette, and it’s immediately clear that the Hull band have broken new ground on Microtonic.
- Note: The LP is initially available on marbled blue-and-white vinyl.
- Doves Constellations for the Lonely CD £14.99 / LP £32.99
- There was a collective desire for a new Doves album as soon as they closed the door on The Universal Want’s No.1 success, and ‘Renegade’, the lead single from their new album, Constellations for the Lonely, was written soon afterwards – the last song to be written in their famed creative rural retreat, Frank Bough Sound III. Physically unanchored, waving off a totem of their shared past and facing personal mountains to climb, a new, intense, filmic, classic Doves album was carefully nurtured.
- Note: The LP is initially available on orange vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Supertramp Live in Paris ’79 2-CD £18.99 / 3-LP £49.99
- Supertramp was, in 1979, one of the biggest bands in the world, following the release and extensive accompanying tour for the album Breakfast in America. Their complete set at the 8,000-seat Pavillon de Paris on 2 December that year, on the third of four sold-out nights, is now being released on LP and CD as Live in Paris ’79, the first time the audio has been available without the video.
- Sex Pistols Live In The U.S.A. 1978: Atlanta LP £24.99
- More than 40 years on, Sex Pistols’ output from their original creative period together – forged amidst times of poor leadership and economic turmoil – continues to resonate in ways most could never have imagined. Not least those Stateside who witnessed the performances that make up this 3-disc release. The first of these, a performance at the South East Music Hall in Atlanta, Georgia on 4 January 1978, is released this week, with live recordings from their subsequent gigs at Dallas and San Francisco to follow in March and April.
- Note: The LP is initially available on red vinyl.
- Motörhead Ace of Spades (50th Anniversary) LP £29.99
- While it should need little introduction, the now legendary Ace of Spades was a truly game-changing slice of hard-rock perfection. Igniting generations of music fans with its speaker-destroying riffs, ear-shredding volume and indomitable speed and style, this Motörhead classic pushed boundaries and changed the musical landscape forever. Amped up to 11, nothing was harder, nothing was faster – and, certainly, nothing was louder.
- Note: The LP is initially available on blue-and-white swirl vinyl.
Releases for 21 February 2025
The first of 21 February’s bangers is Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams, a record born out of a friendship between Patterson Hood and producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists) and composed primarily on piano, marking a bigger departure from Hood’s work with Drive-By Truckers than his prior solo efforts. Killswitch Engage continues its incredible legacy as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the past 25 years by unleashing This Consequence, a masterfully executed record that captures the band’s signature sound while levelling up on teeth-baring tracks. The Prince of Fried, Julian Cope, has brung forth 12 brand-new humdingers on Friar Tuck: all hummable and lyrically compelling and replete with wah-acoustic guitars and beautiful orchestrations of Mellotron 400 from Liverpool’s Blondest. The eponymous Motorpsycho has variety from this institution in European rock, from concise 3-minute pop-rockers to 20-minute-plus progressive epics via acoustic intimacies and psychedelic wig-outs. And to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Oasis’s seminal single Whatever is being reissued as a limited-edition numbered 7" pressed on pink-and-blue splatter vinyl.
Our release of the week is People Watching, the third studio album from this year’s RSD ambassador, Sam Fender. The album was written over the last 3 years and recorded in London and LA, co-produced by Sam alongside Marcus Dravs and The War on Drugs’ Adam Grancuciel.
- Sam Fender People Watching CD £14.99 / LP £29.99
- People Watching, the third studio album from this year’s RSD ambassador, Sam Fender, was written over the last 3 years and recorded in London and LA. The album was co-produced by Sam alongside Marcus Dravs and The War on Drugs’ Adam Grancuciel.
- Note: The LP is initially available on ‘blue yolk’ vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Patterson Hood Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams CD £11.99 / LP £23.99
- Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams, the first solo record in over a decade from Patterson Hood, was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and, during Hood’s solo tours, made tentative plans to one day make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano, marking a bigger departure from Hood’s work with Drive-By Truckers than his prior solo efforts. There are guest appearances from Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.
- Killswitch Engage The Consequence CD £13.99 / LP £26.99
- Killswitch Engage is celebrating an astonishing 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the ’00s. The band continues its incredible legacy by unleashing This Consequence, a masterfully executed record that captures the band’s signature sound while levelling up on teeth-baring tracks like ‘Forever Aligned’, ‘I Believe’ and ‘Collusion’.
- Note: The LP is initially available on both ‘expired ancient slate’ grey vinyl and on ‘defused pollution’ pink vinyl, which is exclusive to independent shops.
- Julian Cope Friar Tuck CD £14.99 / LP £27.99
- The Prince of Fried, Julian Cope, has brung forth 12 brand-new humdingers on Friar Tuck: all hummable and lyrically compelling and replete with wah-acoustic guitars and beautiful orchestrations of Mellotron 400 from Liverpool’s Blondest. So inhale the garage-fuzz dub of ‘R in the Hood’, the mantric powerdrive of ‘Four Jehovahs in a Volvo Estate’, the sentimental Pete Burns lamentations of ‘In Spungent Mansions’ … and who could resist the affectionate micro-trolling of ‘Will Sergeant’s Blues’?
- Motorpsycho Motorpsycho 2-CD £16.99 / 2-LP £38.99
- The eponymous 11-song album Motorpsycho has exactly as much variety and diversity, accord and discord as you’d expect from a band that these days must be regarded as an institution in European rock. From concise 3-minute pop-rockers to 20-minute-plus progressive epics via acoustic intimacies and psychedelic wig-outs, this is concentrated Motorpsychosis: commenced Rebis, countdown initiated. Ever closer … ever sharper …
- Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition green moss vinyl.
- Oasis Whatever 7" single £16.99
- To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Oasis’s seminal single Whatever is being reissued as a limited-edition numbered 7" pressed on pink-and-blue splatter vinyl and featuring remastered audio of the classic song paired with its original B-side, ‘(It’s Good) to Be Free’.
- Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition pink-and-blue splatter vinyl.
Releases for 14 February 2025
First of the goodies out of 14 February’s bag is from The Cure, whose Songs of a Live World is a complete performance of their most recent album at London’s Troxy venue. The Delines’ fourth album, Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom, tells the stories of romantic misfits and grifters who live out of suitcases and cars, who can’t seem to settle down, who hope that in the next town or city will be the score that saves them. The Lumineers emerge from recent collaborations with P!nk, James Bay and Zach Bryan with a new self-penned album, Automatic. Love Conquers All is a collection of deeply moving songs by The Moody Blues’ John Lodge that was written during difficult times but that reflects the positive way in which John sees the world, featuring a wealth of guest musicians. And Twilight is a twelve-track night drive from dusk ’til dawn from Hifi Sean & David McAlmont, whose title track is an immersive wall of choral sounds and field recordings.
Our release of the week is Critical Thinking, the most urgent album from Manic Street Preachers in years: a record of opposites colliding and trying to find a path to resolution, whose music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift.
- Manic Street Preachers Critical Thinking CD £14.99 / Deluxe 2-CD £25.99 / LP £25.99 / Limited edition Red LP £26.99
- Manic Street Preachers return with their most urgent album in years. Critical Thinking is a record of opposites colliding and of dialectics trying to find a path to resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James Dean Bradfield that look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs.
- Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition red vinyl.
- The Cure Songs of a Live World: Troxy London MMXXIV LP £27.99
- Last year’s Songs of a Lost World was The Cure’s first album in 16 years, and their first number-one album in the UK since 1992’s Wish. On the day of release, the band performed the album in full at London’s Troxy venue, and it’s this live performance that makes up Songs of a Live World.
- The Delines Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom CD £12.99 / LP £23.99
- The Delines’ fourth album, Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom, tells the stories of romantic misfits and grifters who live out of suitcases and cars, who can’t seem to settle down, who hope that in the next town or city will be the score that saves them. The record features Amy Boone’s lush, world-worn voice, the cinematic production skills of John Morgan Askew and the horn and string arrangements of keyboardist and trumpeter Cory Gray, plus Sean Oldham on drums, Freddy Trujillo on bass and Willy Vlautin on guitar.
- Note: The LP is initially available on brown vinyl.
- The Lumineers Automatic CD £13.99 / LP £24.99
- The Lumineers’ fifth studio album, Automatic, emerges in a musical landscape dominated by solo artists dependent on other writers. Front-man Wesley Schultz says that being one of the few groups now touring who write all their own material is a unique badge of honour. But that’s not to say they won’t collaborate with other artists; Schultz and band-mate Jeremy Fraites have recently written and appeared on songs with pop icon P!nk as well as rising singer-songwriters James Bay and Zach Bryan.
- Note: The LP is initially available on splatter vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- John Lodge Love Conquers All CD £12.99 / LP £31.99
- Love Conquers All is a collection of deeply moving songs by The Moody Blues’ John Lodge that was written during difficult times but that reflects the positive way in which John sees the world. As John explored his journey of healing, he invited different musicians to collaborate with him on the songs on this album, making each song unique but all carrying the same message: that love truly does conquer all.
- Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition blue vinyl.
- Hifi Sean & David McAlmont Twilight CD £13.99 / LP £25.99
- Twilight is a twelve-track night drive from dusk ’til dawn, with all the moments in between. The album begins with ‘The Comedown’, a collaboration with Hifi Sean & David McAlmont’s friend ‘The Blessed Madonna’, who also narrates: “I can hear my heart beating like a drum.” The title track, ‘Twilight’, which follows, is an immersive wall of choral sounds and field recordings, incorporating David’s favourite birdsong and Sean’s dogs, Fred and Barney.
- Note: The LP is initially available on transparent blue dusk vinyl.
Releases for 7 February 2025
The first of 7 February’s six crackers is Olly Alexander’s first album under his own name: Polari is a pop album for the ages inspired by ’80s club music that explores themes of desire, intimacy, voyeurism and fate.

Now That’s What I Call An Era: The Sound Of The Suburbs 1977–1980 is a celebration of one of the most dynamic and diverse periods ever in the singles charts – including punk, new wave, reggae, ska, mod and electronic – that would inspire the wave of new art- and club-influenced pop of the early 80s.
Our release of the week comes from Grammy-winning progressive music titans Dream Theater, who return with their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia: a 71-minute collection of songs showcasing what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades, taking the listener on a musical journey that has become synonymous with the band since the beginning of their career.

- Olly Alexander Polari CD £13.99 / LP £29.99

After a decade releasing music as Years & Years, Polari is literally Olly Alexander talking the talk. Having bonded with producer Danny L Harle, they embarked together on a journey to create an album inspired by ’80s club music, exploring themes of desire, intimacy, voyeurism and fate.

Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Carey, the album combines the propulsive motorik tendencies of gothic stalwarts Depeche Mode with the lyrical dexterity of PJ Harvey and the off-kilter rhythms of LCD Soundsystem into a powerful sonic onslaught that is entirely Heartworms. “With the A Comforting Notion EP, people kind of pigeonholed me into post-punk,” she says. “I was like, ‘Cool, I can do that, but I can also do way more’ – I can do post-punk, but I can also be poppy and catchy, and this album represents that. I think people might be surprised when they hear it.”

Releases for 31 January 2025
Kicking off 31 January’s new releases is The Purple Bird, which is simultaneously like and unlike other Bonnie “Prince” Billy records and finds the artist backed by “the best band you can get in Nashville right now”.

Our release of the week is Renascence – a true return to form for pioneering British funk band Cymande that picks up where their 1974 album Promised Heights left off and brings a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which was foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the US and UK. Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got its due back in the day, but who are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves – politically aware and spiritually positive, with infectious grooves.

Releases for 24 January 2025
First out of the bag for 24 January is Larkin Poe’s new album, Bloom, which sees the dynamic sister duo venturing further along on their evolving musical journey with a collection of songs that resonate with introspection, authenticity and a profound connection to their roots in American music. Matt Berry returns with his first new solo album since 2021’s Blue Elephant, delivering a collection of songs inspired by soul and West-Coast psych, allied with Matt’s rich voice and unique lyrics and featuring collaborations with Kitty Liv, Eric D Johnson of The Shins and Natasha Lyonne.

Live ID. stresses Polish prog masters Riverside’s unique stance and relevance within the current progressive music scene: a massive live rendition of 12 songs over 110 minutes recorded on 1 June 2024 at COS Torwar in Warsaw, containing thrilling live renditions of songs from the acclaimed 2023 album ID.Entity plus fan favourites.

Our release of the week is The Bad Fire, which was recorded at Chem19 studios in Scotland with Grammy Award-winning producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, John Grant) joining Mogwai in the studio for their eleventh album.

- FKA twigs Eusexua CD £11.99 / LP £36.99
- FKA twigs’ highly-anticipated third studio album, Eusexua, follows the artist on late nights in the underground techno scene of Prague. Eusexua is a state of being: a feeling of momentary transcendence often evoked by art, music, sex, and unity. It can be followed by a state of bliss and feelings of limitless possibility. It also refers to the pinnacle of human experience. It is united through any moment in which we are fully embodying ourselves, present in the moment, disconnected from technology, synthesised with those around us.
- Note: The LP is initially available on clear vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.

- Rose City Band Sol y Sambra CD£15.99 / LP £34.99 / Coloured LP £38.99
- Rose City Band’s music is sun-kissed timeless country rock whose seemingly effortless momentum carries the joy of its creation without ignoring the darkness pervading our consciousness: nuanced performances and interplay between players unfurl like desert flowers splashing colour onto an arid landscape. Throughout his prolific career with Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo and now Rose City Band, Ripley Johnson’s music has consistently centred around exploration and discovery. Sol y Sombra imbues his penchant for space and resplendent tonality with a denser amalgam of his influences through a delicate balance of the somber and the serene, of subtle evolutions and familiar sounds, making for a holistically joyous experience, finding solace in both sun and shade.
