Latest new releases

The first of 13 September’s gems comes from the iconic Nick Lowe, who returns with his first studio album in over a decade, Indoor Safari, on which he exhibits his razor-sharp songwriting ability through a multitude of sonic environments. Tindersticks’ 14th album, Soft Tissue, showcases their exploratory spirit, mixing intimate songwriting with experimental soundscapes and underscoring the band’s enduring ambition and versatility. One of today’s most exciting musicians, Nilüfer Yanya, returns with My Method Actor, whose unique blend of soulful melodies, indie rock grit and jazz influences is a development and evolution from her previous sound. British trio London Grammar’s new album, The Greatest Love, is a celebration: the sound of a band laying to rest the past and realising a newfound sense of freedom. Divided Kind continues Native Harrow’s legacy of rich, engrossing records and instant classics with their beautifully soaring, rolling grooves and languid, dreamy clearwater shimmers of sound.

Our release of the week comes from Lady Blackbird, who has taken charge of her own life and her own sound and is walking a new path, making each note on Slang Spirituals a step in a radically different direction. Her sweeping, cinematic vocal power sets fire to the 11 tracks on the album.

We open our run-down of 6 September’s finest releases with Luck and Strange, the first album of new material in nine years by David Gilmour, which was recorded over five months in Brighton and produced by David and Charlie Andrew, with lyrics by Gilmour’s long-time co-writer Polly Samson and vocals from Romany Gilmour. Tristwch y Fenywod’s self-titled debut is stark, striking and bewitching, sung exclusively in Welsh and conjuring an eldritch, subterranean, alien folk music played on dual zither, electronic drums and bass guitar: stark, martial rhythms vie with swirling claw-plucked strings to produce a simultaneously chilling and stirring effect. Mercury Rev’s ninth album, Born Horses, is a cascade of gleaming, glistening psych-jazz-folk-baroque-ambient that searches its soul but can never truly know the answer; it’s a sound and vision linked to their exalted past while quite unlike anything they have created before. Irish post-rock masters God Is an Astronaut unleash a captivating post-rock trip with Embers, which incorporates psych-rock and krautrock rhythms plus the captivating use of sitar, cello, zither, shamanic drums, bowed psaltery, chimes and tanpura. Last but by no means least, Nala Sinephro’s second album, Endlessness, expands her scope from the inward journey of Space 1.8 into widescreen orchestral ambient jazz compositions with a stellar supporting cast from the contemporary UK music scene.

Our release of the week is The The’s first studio album of new songs in a quarter of a century! The 12 songs on Ensoulment encompass characteristic topics ranging from love and sex, war and politics, life and death, to the meaning of what it is to be human in the 21st century.
