Among the new releases for 29 January are: The Essential Gretchen Peters, a beguiling mixture of her best for the uninitiated and rarities for the fans; iconic prog band Dream Theater’s 2-CD/4-LP set The Astonishing – that most prog of things, a concept album; and psych darlings Night Beats’ fuzz- and reverb-laden latest, Who Sold My Generation. Runrig’s final album, The Story, is worth a listen; Turin Brakes return with Lost Property, which sounds as you would expect it to; Southampton quintet Bury Tomorrow’s new album Earthbound will cement their burgeoning metal rep; and Thunder bring a 2-CD + DVD set documenting the story of Wonder Days that delivers as only Thunder can.
Release of the week is Bloc Party’s Hymns, a worthwhile departure from their previous sound.
