Latest new releases

The first of 17 May’s soaraway six is Lives Outgrown, the debut solo album from Portishead frontwoman Beth Gibbons and her most personal work to date, the result of a period of sustained reflection and change – ‘lots of goodbyes’, in Beth’s words. Paul Weller has always demonstrated an unwavering commitment to pushing artistic boundaries while staying true to his roots, and 66 promises to be no exception, offering a captivating journey through his continuing musical evolution. To All Trains is Shellac’s sixth studio album – their first in ten years, recorded between 2017 and 2022 – and is released just after the untimely death of leader Steve Albini. The Lovely Eggs return after a four-year break with Eggsistentialism, which explores a far more personal, introspective and reflective side to the Eggs, and sees them explore new sounds and experiment in unventured musical territories. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Cult, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have recompiled the tracks recorded in 1983 by the short-lived earlier incarnation Death Cult for a new release titled Paradise Now, cataloguing the genesis of a musical partnership that has endured for 40 years and counting.

Our release of the week comes from Michael Head, ‘our greatest living songwriter’, who vividly recalls 62 years of music, loves, losses, long summer days and longer, darker nights as he and The Red Elastic Band play out flickering scenes from his life in twelve evocative and autobiographical songs on their new album, Loophole.

The first of 10 May’s musical marvels finds Kings of Leon coming back big with Can We Please Have Fun, harking back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears, and having a lot of fun along the way. The impossible-to-pigeonhole Josienne Clarke has redefined herself in the present on Parenthesis, I with a body of work that is shimmering, warm, intimate and, at times, profoundly heart-wrenching. The windswept, rain-soaked moors of Keeley Forsyth’s adopted Yorkshire home inhabit The Hollow: she had a sound in her head that hovered above her but was nonetheless inevitably tethered to the soil. Arab Strap return with the wonderfully titled “I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍”, a fierce testament to the band’s transformation from swooning, slow-core romantics to raging alt-pop chroniclers. And finally Keane’s classic album Hopes and Fears, full of soaring and romantic songs, receives a limited-edition 20th-anniversary reissue, remastered on bespoke galaxy-effect vinyl and housed in updated artwork.

Our release of the week is That Golden Time from Dublin’s Villagers. After the band-centred sessions of Fever Dreams, the intimate, solo-centric core of the new album is the most vulnerable material that Conor O’Brien has created: played and recorded alone by him in in his apartment, only inviting others into the process right at the end.
