Here are this week’s featured new releases:
Motorpyscho – The Gaia II Space Corps
The Norwegian psych-rockers return with an album that’s not quite heavy metal or hard rock but is clearly reaching for some of the same qualities.
I’m looking forward to this one! Last year’s self-titled album was a belter.
Bill Callahan – My Days Of 58
Applying the living, breathing energies of his concerts to this album, Bill Callahan sharpens his slice-of-life portraiture to cut deeper, releasing a stream of singalong consciousness: poetic, cinematic, novelistic, comedic and, above all, musical.
Gorillaz – The Mountain
15 new tracks featuring collaborators including Ajay Prasanna, Anoushka Shankar, Asha Bhosle, Asha Puthli, Bizarrap, Black Thought, Gruff Rhys, Idles, Jalen Ngonda, Johnny Marr, Kara Jackson, Omar Souleyman, Paul Simonon, Sparks, Trueno and Yasiin Bey.
Bruno Mars – The Romantic
This is the global superstar’s first solo album since 2017’s 24k Magic and follows chart-topping collaborations with Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic, as well as smash hits with Lady Gaga and Rosé.
Lucy Kitchen – In the Low Light
This Romsey-based singer-songwriter is often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Beth Orton and Sandy Denny. Her unique blend of hypnotic folk music, combined with her evocative voice and emotive song-writing, continues to captivate audiences.
Carpenter Brut – Leather Temple
Across ten tracks, the third and final chapter of the Leather trilogy channels a raw and nervous energy, somewhere between saturated electro, industrial fever and ’90s synthetic pulse, with arrangements that expand the horizon and add dramatic scope.
