Latest new releases

Here’s our hot six for 1 & 8 December. In 2022, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis returned to their native Australia, and performances from the climactic shows at the Sydney Opera House are captured on the luminous Australian Carnage (1 Dec). Khruangbin also bring us an album recorded Live at Sydney Opera House (1 Dec), the last in a series of five live albums that has traced a slice of the band’s flight plan through the years, igniting both sides of Khruangbin’s magic: the warm, prismatic feeling of their albums and the bewitching energy of their performances. Here’s Tom with the Weather (1 Dec) boasts magical, psychedelic folk songs of the finest Shack vintage: sleepy-eyed, wistful and mystical, yet crafted with a cunning and acute dexterity, toasing the under-recognised songwriting genius of brothers Mick and John Head. Before and After (8 Dec) contains some of Neil Young’s personal favourites from his playbook, which he performs mostly alone on a solo acoustic journey into his music history, from his early Buffalo Springfield contribution ‘Burned’ (1966) to the recent ‘Don’t Forget Love’ (2021). Live from Studio S2 (8 Dec) captures a live set that Hania Rani performed as part of the 2021 Berlinale Film Festival, finding a kind of intimacy by playing solo piano in this huge radio studio, her songs acquiring new layers that change their mood and rhythmic pattern.

Our release of the week is i/o (1 Dec), the first album of new material from Peter Gabriel since 2002’s Up: 12 tracks of grace, gravity and great beauty that provide welcome confirmation not only of Peter’s ongoing ability to write stop-you-in-your-tracks songs but also of that thrilling voice, still perfectly, delightfully intact. There are two different versions: the ‘Bright-Side’ and ‘Dark-Side’ mixes, available together on the double-CD package or separately on the double-LP versions.

The first of 17 November’s peaches is Songs of Silence – incredibly, Vince Clarke’s first ever solo album – which is unlike anything you’ve heard from him before, with a more sober ambient electronic beauty that puts it in a category of its own. Global icon Dolly Parton has joined forces with some of rock music’s most legendary artists along with today’s biggest stars for her first-ever rock album, Rockstar, which includes some covers of classic rock anthems. Alt-folk duo Smoke Fairies return with their sixth studio album, Carried in Sound, which isn’t afraid to discuss darkness but holds a longing for light and displays a sense of inner strength. Acclaimed American singer-songwriter-poet Jewel shot to international stardom 25 years ago with the release of Spirit, which includes the singles ‘Hands’, ‘Down So Long’ and ‘Jupiter’, and which now gets a deluxe reissue for the anniversary. The Polyphonic Spree harness the flames of rebirth on Salvage Enterprise, reverent of their history yet ready for an even brighter tomorrow – this is their ‘rising-from-the ashes’ record.

Our release of the week is Laugh Track, the most freewheeling, all-hands-on-deck album from The National in years, bristling with spontaneity and vintage rock energy that makes a perfect complement to the songs found on its more introspective predecessor, April’s First Two Pages of Frankenstein.
