Sit back and strap yourself in as seven-headed Aussie rock beast King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard return with Fishing For Fishies, perhaps their most perfectly realised album to date. Here is a world where the organic meets the automated; where the rustic meets the robotic; where the past and future collide in the beautiful…
Leading off our top picks for this week is an album that wasn’t meant to happen – in fact, the band promised each other it wouldn’t! In spite of that, Sleeper release their first album in 21 years, so they clearly didn’t listen to each other. The Modern Age is the outward-facing sound of a…
The National’s new album, I Am Easy To Find, is the band’s eighth studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s Grammy-award winning Sleep Well Beast.

After the sleeper success of the internationally lauded Party, Aldous Harding came off a 100-date tour last summer and went straight into the studio with a collection of songs written on the road. Reuniting with Party’s producer John Parish, Harding spent 15 days recording and 10 days mixing at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and Bristol’s J&J…
