Latest new releases

Our soaraway six for 27 November starts with a selection of cover versions from Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s lockdown YouTube channel No Fun Mondays, including classics by John Lennon, Billy Bragg and Johnny Thunders. On Sunset Remixes is a limited-edition 12" featuring an eclectic selection of reworkings of stand-out tracks from Paul Weller’s recent critically acclaimed No 1 album: Skeleton Key (James Skelly), Seckou Keita, Jane Weaver, Gwenno and Le SuperHomard provide the remixes. Distant Memories: Live in London combines 2019’s Distance Over Time with 1999’s Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, in what was one of the most anticipated and historic evenings in Dream Theater history, ultimately becoming this instant classic. Folklore, the eighth studio album by the American phenomenon that is Taylor Swift, replaces the mainstream pop sound she’s known for with a mixture of indie-folk, alternative rock, electro-folk and chamber-pop, driven by pianos and guitars. And Sunny Side Up, the second studio album from Scottish singer-songwriter Paulo Nutini and his band The Vipers, which debuted at number one in the UK charts, gets a reissue on yellow vinyl.

Our release of the week is CYR, the new album from Grammy Award-winning alternative-rock luminaries The Smashing Pumpkins. Global praise continues to pour in since the release of their current single and album namesake ‘Cyr’, which front-man Billy Corgan calls a “dystopic folly, one soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn’t possible with faith.”

Our six smashers for 20 November start with Live In Maui, a concert from 1970 with a blu-ray featuring the documentary ‘Music, Money, Madness... Jimi Hendrix In Maui’, which chronicles the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s storied visit to Maui and how they became ensnared with the ill-fated Rainbow Bridge movie produced by their controversial manager Michael Jeffery. The 16-song collection From An Old Guitar features features rare and unreleased studio performances that Dave Alvin recorded over the years, mixing originals with interpretations of other peoples’ songs, and ranging from acoustic blues and ballads to electric bar-room blues, folk-rock and even a little country-rock. Shadow Of Fear is the first studio album from Cabaret Voltaire in 26 years. Sole remaining member Richard H. Kirk has formed this new album from a series of pulverising live shows, dancing across techno, dub, house, 1970s Germany and general esoteric explorations coupled with mangled vocal samples. Live Drugs is unlike anything previously available in The War On Drugs’ catalogue: the first volume to capture the band’s live interpretations, this is a document showcasing the evolution of their live show over the years and is sequenced to reflect how a typical 70-minute set would flow. Nights Of The Dead – Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City was recorded during the Iron Maiden’s visit there in September 2019, and includes songs which have never made it to a live CD before, plus classics that haven’t been included in their live set releases for many years.

Our release of the week is Idiot Prayer, a solo piano recital by Nick Cave, recorded at the iconic London venue Alexandra Palace in June. In it, Nick plays songs from his extensive back catalogue, including rare tracks that most fans will be hearing for the first time. The songs are taken from across the breadth of Cave’s career, including early Bad Seeds and Grinderman, right through to the most recent Bad Seeds album, Ghosteen, and the performance has had rave reviews from critics and fans.
