Our batch of recommended releases for 16 June<\/strong> could well be our favourite of the year so far for its depth and quality. Crack-Up<\/em><\/strong> represents a real change for Fleet Foxes<\/strong>; instead of an expansive, sunny outlook we are \u2018treated\u2019 to a collection of inward-searching songs suffused with a bleak melancholy, resulting in a jarring, inscrutable record that will reward repeated listenings. The mighty Ride<\/strong> return for the first time in nigh on 20 years! and \u2026 it\u2019s fantastic: trembling distortion, beautiful harmonies and pounding rhythms result in a shimmering soundscape that makes this album ambitious, timeless and thoroughly addictive. Royal Blood<\/strong>\u2019s hugely anticipated second album, How Did We Get So Dark?<\/em><\/strong>, is upon us, and it\u2019s a triumph of visceral, dark and sludgy rock\u2019n\u2019roll! R\u00e9sistance<\/em><\/strong>, the second album from Songhoy Blues<\/strong>, is another album of wonderful Afro-funk-pop; the whole thing flows like liquid gold, with chanting vocals, meaty rhythms and that light-and-choppy guitar sound. Those \u2013 like us \u2013 with a bit of a thing for proper pop will welcome Lorde<\/strong>\u2019s Melodrama<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the story of the last two wild, fluorescent years of her life. Beth Ditto<\/strong>\u2019s first full-length solo release, Fake Sugar<\/strong>,<\/em> is \u2013 as you\u2019d expect from The Gossip\u2019s frontwoman \u2013 a proper noisy rock\u2019n\u2019roll album, culled from more than 80 songs written over two years. You Don\u2019t Own Me Anymore<\/em><\/strong> is the latest from The Secret Sisters<\/strong>: a 12-song collection of haunting and vocally mesmerising folk and country tracks that sounds like it could be plucked from the USA any time in the past hundred years.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week, and a racing certainty to be in our top ten of 2017, is Jason Isbell<\/strong>\u2019s magnificent The Nashville Sound<\/em><\/strong>, which follows 2015\u2019s Something More Than Free<\/em>. This is a songwriter on a relentless march to greatness.<\/p>\n
