We start the recommended releases for 7 April<\/strong> with The Far Field<\/em><\/strong>, full of the eerie synths and rolling bass lines that make Future Islands<\/strong>\u2019 work so instantly recognisable. This follow-up to the massively successful Singles<\/em> will further cement their reputation with all those in love with their song-craft. Imelda May<\/strong> returns with a new sound on Life. Love. Flesh. Blood<\/em><\/strong> to create an album that is personal, bold and intimately autobiographical. InFinite<\/em><\/strong> continues in the same hard-rocking vein for which Deep Purple<\/strong> have become justifiably famous. Mike Rutherford\u2019s Genesis antidote Mike + The Mechanics<\/strong> return with a new batch of songs which are lifted by the gloriously rasping vocals of both Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar. Guided By Voices<\/strong>\u2019 latest, August By Cake<\/em><\/strong>, is unbelievably the 100th(!) studio album released by songwriter Robert Pollard since 1986, putting many other supposedly prolific artists to shame. Golden Days<\/em><\/strong>, the second album from Brian May and Kerry Ellis<\/strong>, includes new arrangements of some of their favourite songs, some new songs penned by each of them, a tribute to Gary Moore and a couple of reinterpretations of songs essential to their live act. Canadian indie supergroup The New Pornographers<\/strong>\u2019 new album Whiteout Conditions<\/em><\/strong> follows up 2014\u2019s Brill Bruisers<\/em> and is chock-full of great songs.<\/p>\n

Our album of the week is Pure Comedy<\/em><\/strong> by the incomparable Father John Misty<\/strong>. Hear Misty, a.k.a. Josh Tillman, at the height of his powers as a lyricist and cultural observer. His critiques, bared humanity and gently warped songwriting are all here and \u2013 at 75 minutes \u2013 there\u2019s a veritable ton of it. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n
