Team<\/strong> still has faith in the power of music to make things better, and we need them now more than ever. For their new album, <strong><em>Semi Circle<\/em><\/strong>, Ian imagined a school marching band gone rogue, chucking away their sheet music to blast out Northern soul stompers, Japanese indie-pop swooners and old-school hip-hop jams. The effect is a kaleidoscopic cacophony, almost as if the sound itself is bent and refracted in the metallic curves of a trumpet \u2013 comforting and intoxicating at the same time. <strong>Tommy Emmanuel<\/strong> releases <strong><em>Accomplice One<\/em><\/strong>, an album of duets performed with stars including Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Jerry Douglas, Amanda Shires, Ricky Skaggs and David Grisman. As Tommy says: \u201c<em>It\u2019s been such an honour to work with some of the greatest artists I know, and some of the most inspiring people in music, today. I wanted to record an album of duets that could showcase my love of many styles.<\/em>\u201d <strong>Tune-Yards<\/strong> \u2013 officially now a duo, with Merrill Garbus joined by long-time collaborator Nate Brenner \u2013 release <strong><em>I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life<\/em><\/strong> as a follow-up to their acclaimed 2014 album <em>Nikki Nack<\/em>. Their new album tackles race, politics, intersectional feminism and environmental prophecies head on. In the billows of intense subject matter the album is their most immediate and upbeat yet \u2013 this is Tune-Yards making music to dance to. <strong><em>Lost On The Road To Eternity<\/em><\/strong> is the 20th (!!) studio album from rock legends <strong>Magnum<\/strong>, and it\u2019s majestic hard rock at its best. The band\u2019s compositions all ooze a magic that\u2019s difficult to describe, an enchanting ambience created by Clarkin\u2019s poetic lyrics that create rich sonic images. <strong>Of Mice &amp; Men<\/strong>\u2019s new album, <strong><em>Defy<\/em><\/strong>, sees the band entering a new era. The songs are all fast and heavy and the band\u2019s strongest work to date. If you thought you knew these guys, check again \u2013 this is Of Mice &amp; Men at full throttle!<\/p>\n<p>Our release of the week is <strong><em>Ruins<\/em><\/strong> from Swedish sister duo <strong>First Aid Kit<\/strong>, and it\u2019s the 2018 album we\u2019ve been most excited about. This time the sisters are a bit older and wiser, and it shows in an intense album that I think we will be playing <em>A LOT<\/em>!<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs_6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1801.php#r180119_FirstAidKit\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"First Aid Kit - Ruins\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180119\/FirstAidKit.jpg\" alt=\"First Aid Kit - Ruins\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1801.php#r180119_GoTeam\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"The Go!
