Guitarist Bo Madsen left <strong>Mew<\/strong> in 2015, but their latest, <strong><em>Visuals<\/em><\/strong>, firmly rebuts anyone\u2019s fear of the group tailing off following his departure; it\u2019s full of their trademark prog-pop and marks a triumphant return. <strong>Old Crow Medicine Show<\/strong> bring their unique take to a Dylan classic: recorded live in Nashville in 2016, <strong><em>50 Years Of Blonde On Blonde<\/em><\/strong> is both a surprise and delight. <strong><em>Rock n Roll Consciousness<\/em><\/strong> is new and exhilarating departure for sonic adventurer <strong>Thurston Moore<\/strong>: serious, precocious and strangely accessible. <strong><em>Strength Of A Woman<\/em><\/strong> highlights <strong>Mary J Blige<\/strong>\u2019s trademark literate R&amp;B sound and shows her fierce, powerful yet soulful vocals remain undiminished.<\/p>\n<p>Our album of the week is a real treat: <strong><em>Pleasure<\/em><\/strong> sees PJ Harvey channelled through a very <strong>Feist<\/strong> prism, and this results in a fine album that we reckon will sit in our 2017 Top Twenty come the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it until next week, when we will hopefully have fully recovered from all the RSD excitement!<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Feist - Pleasure\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Feist - Pleasure\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Gorillaz - Humanz\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Gorillaz - Humanz\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Mark Lanagan - Gargoyle\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Lanagan - Gargoyle\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_4\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"John Mellencamp - Sad Clowns &amp; Hillbillies\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/4.jpg\" alt=\"John Mellencamp - Sad Clowns &amp; Hillbillies\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_5\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Mew - Visuals\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Mew - Visuals\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_6\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Old Crow Medicine Show - 50 Years Of Blonde On Blonde\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Old Crow Medicine Show - 50 Years Of Blonde On Blonde\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Thurston Moore - Rock n Roll Consciousness\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Thurston Moore - Rock n Roll Consciousness\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428_8\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Mary J Blige - Strength Of A Woman\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170428\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Mary J Blige - Strength Of A Woman\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1702.php#r170428\">Click here<\/a> for more details and to order your copy.
