The summer break for new releases has ended, and it was a bit of a struggle to condense the offerings for 18 August<\/strong> down to 8!<\/p>\n

First up, modern prog maestro Steven Wilson<\/strong> finally debuts on a major label with the sonically and melodically stunning To The Bone<\/em><\/strong>, a high-definition snapshot of the disconcerting times we live in. The Duke Spirit<\/strong> follow up 2016\u2019s marvellous Kin<\/em> with a poignant new album, Sky Is Mine<\/em><\/strong>, on which each song looks for humanity on a global scale: beautiful dream pop. Judy Dyble<\/strong>, original vocalist of Fairport Convention, has produced Summer Dancing<\/em><\/strong> with Andy Lewis<\/strong>, a work of the essence of British psychedelia, emerging from somewhere between Broadcast and Stereolab, which is a very good thing indeed. If you like your indie music huge, anthemic and stuffed full of driving synth riffs but with a real pop sensibility, This Life, Vol.1<\/em><\/strong> from The Coasts<\/strong> is right up your alley! James Lavelle says of UNKLE<\/strong>\u2019s fifth studio album, The Road, Part 1<\/em><\/strong>: \u201cI wanted to make an album that goes back to the roots of where I came from, but with a foot in modern London,<\/em>\u201d and he has. Wildwood Kin<\/strong>\u2019s debut album, Turning Tides<\/em><\/strong>, borrows heavily from the folk tradition while delving into other genres with an inventive use of electronics that creates a spectral atmosphere. With bouncy percussion and swaggering guitar riffs married to sneeringly irresistible vocals, The Sherlocks<\/strong>\u2019 Live For The Moment<\/em><\/strong> is an upbeat indie gem.<\/p>\n

Album of the week is the latest from Grizzly Bear<\/strong>. While 2012\u2019s Shields<\/em> dealt with the interpersonal barriers we construct and hide behind, Painted Ruins<\/em><\/strong> focuses on what happens when these facades crumble and reveal our vulnerabilities, exploring the inner conflicts we experience when our best-laid plans fall apart.<\/p>\n
