Latest new releases

We’ve got a blistering sextet for you this week, starting with The Waterboys’ new album, Where The Action Is, a testament to the enduring talents of the band’s founder and frontman, Mike Scott, one of the finest British songwriters of the past four decades. Earth’s ninth studio album, Full Upon Her Burning Lips, purges the embellishment and panache of previous releases and deconstructs dynamic of guitar/bass and drums over hulking, drone-driven opuses. Space-rock psych warriors Black Mountain’s new album, Destroyer, is imbued with the wild mix of freedom and fear that comes with one’s first time behind the wheel – it’s exhilarating, spirited and dangerous. Amyl And The Sniffers are an Australian punk band who set out to have as much fun as possible, and you can hear this clearly on their self-titled debut album. Flamagra, the first album from Flying Lotus in 5 years, draws on hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz, global dance music, and even IDM, and is perhaps the definitive FlyLo record.

Our release of the week is of course Honeyblood’s latest, In Plain Sight. This indie rock project led by Stina Tweedale goes from strength to strength, and any fears about the ‘difficult’ third album are allayed: the clear focus, wit and sparkling identity of the songwriting make this an instant classic.

17 May’s smashers start off with Small World Turning, the first new collection of songs from the internationally acclaimed Thea Gilmore since The Counterweight: a vibrant and deeply resonant album, rooted in folk music but completely transcending any genre limitations. Interpol’s new EP, A Fine Mess, is full of visceral and contagious energy, and inspired by a series of lost images recovered from an abandoned police station in Detroit, Michigan: a bracing and distinct entry in Interpol’s oeuvre. Sons takes The Heavy’s blazing, urgent and infectious sound to dizzying new heights, flitting between soul, bombastic rock and blues in a singular package: “taking it back to the dirt and filth we’re best known for … and making it better than we ever have.” 2018 was a truly remarkable year for budding Scottish artist Lewis Capaldi, rising from playing in local pubs around Scotland to selling out three major tours and supporting Sam Smith, Bastille, Rag’n’Bone Man and Niall Horan, and being nominated for numerous awards. 2019 looks set to catapult him into the stratosphere with his long-anticipated debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent. The imaginatively titled Rammstein, their first full-length release in a decade, finds the band taking a different approach: “It has a lot of life and energy in it, but it’s not all angry. … It’s different for Rammstein. You might even say it’s fun to listen to!”

Our album of the week is I Am Easy To Find, the follow-up to The National’s award-winning Sleep Well Beast. Vocal contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Lisa Hannigan, Mina Tindle, Gail Ann Dorsey, Kate Stables and Brooklyn Youth Chorus bringing a fascinating tapestry of other people’s identities to the National’s trademarks of digitally manipulated guitar lines, skittering drums and Matt Berninger’s familiar baritone.
