Latest new releases

24 September’s ear-ticklers start with Bright Magic, the most ambitious undertaking yet from Public Service Broadcasting, an album in three parts that brings you into the heart of the cultural and political metropolis that is Berlin: it’s an impressionistic portrait of a city from the ground up. As the 70s lurched into the 80s, The Specials – multiracial flagship of the 2 Tone movement – sang of racism, war, unemployment and the rough edges of urban life; now, on the 40th anniversary of their greatest protest song, ‘Ghost Town’, Protest Songs 1924–2012 shows that The Specials still care, are still protesting and are still pissed off! How Beautiful Life Can Be is the debut album from Wigan’s The Lathums, who were kick-started by growing pains and life’s unlucky twists, fuelled by the simple salvation of six guitar strings and supercharged by their growing legion of fans; their story may turn out to be the perfect not-all-nice-guys-finish-last tale. Kids Off The Estate is the eagerly awaited debut album from South Yorkshire band The Reytons, and it fairly bursts with working man grit and tales from the local boozer married with infectious riffs and refreshingly honest melodies that will travel round your mind for years to come. Last but certainly not least, the legendary Blancmange release a new album, Commercial Break – their fourteenth – which explores acoustic textures and field recordings within their synthesiser exoskeleton.

Our release of the week is Sad And Beautiful World, the full-length follow up to Jesse Malin’s 2019 album Sunset Kids, which was co-produced by long-time lead guitarist Derek Cruz and Grammy-winning engineer Geoff Sanoff (Bruce Springsteen, Dion, Darlene Love), with contributions from Lucinda Williams, Tom Overby, Ryan Adams, Dave ‘Immy’ Immergluck of Counting Crows, Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, and more.

17 September’s super six opens with the latest chapter in Bob Dylan’s highly acclaimed Bootleg Series: Springtime In New York (Vol. 16) revisits an often-forgotten, rich vein in Dylan’s vast and complex catalogue, shining fresh light on the provocative new musical directions he was taking as a songwriter and a recording artist between 1980–85, creating an essential new chapter in his legacy. Live From Lafayette contains 15 tracks that Rumer performed with a full band at the Lafayette in London, and features tracks spanning her career, including ‘Slow’, ‘Take Me as I Am’ and ‘Hard Time For Lovers’. Innovative hybrid orchestra Nu Deco Ensemble brought their genre-bending music to fans around the world through their 2020–21 virtual performance season, including a collaborative concert with roots-rock duo Larkin Poe, streamed live from the Miami Beach Bandshell and presented here as Paint The Roses: Live In Concert. Few people have managed to become quite so celebrated worldwide quite as quietly as José González has, and Local Valley, his long-awaited fourth album, serves as a relieving reminder that you don’t have to be loud to be heard. The anticipation is there in Elizabeth Stokes’ solo guitar riff under the opening lines of ‘I’m Not Getting Excited’: a frenetic, driving force daring a packed Auckland Town Hall to ignore the song’s title and get excited! As the opener of Auckland, New Zealand, 2020 expands to include The Beths’ full band, the crowd screeches and bellows: a collective exhalation, in one of the few countries where the live concert experience is currently possible.

Our release of the week comes from one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Lindsey Buckingham. As well as being the lead guitarist and one of three singers in Fleetwood Mac, he has released six solo albums and three live albums to date. Now Lindsey is releasing his brand new – self-titled – solo album, featuring all-new material.
