With this in mind, <strong>Yo La Tengo<\/strong> have channelled a similar fear (though with an expected tonal shift) into a calming album that functions simultaneously as both a direct response to and a welcome distraction from the chaos at hand. <strong><em>There\u2019s A Riot Going On<\/em><\/strong> further showcases the band\u2019s laudable ability to expand upon an established sound without ever losing sight of the cohesive, delicate enthusiasm that makes it blossom so organically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creep Show<\/strong> brings together John Grant and the dark funk of analogue electronic band Wrangler to create <strong><em>Mr Dynamite<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 a debut album packed with experimental pop and surreal funk. Grant\u2019s exhilarating croon decorates the twists and hooks to be explored on this consistently inventive record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone Temple Pilots<\/strong> release their highly anticipated new album. The self-titled work is the band\u2019s first album with the new lead singer, Jeff Gutt. Despite being one of the best-selling bands of the 1990s with platinum records and a Grammy to its credit, guitarist Dean DeLeo says: \u201c<em>We are thrilled about what lies ahead. The best way for us to honour our past is to keep making new music.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the success of their critically acclaimed top 20 album <em>Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied<\/em>, Scottish indie rock legends <strong>The Fratellis<\/strong> return with their charming, playful and energetic new album <strong><em>In Your Own Sweet Time<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim Wilde<\/strong>\u2019s return to recording isn\u2019t a comeback, but <strong><em>Here Come The Aliens<\/em><\/strong> does mark a fresh start in the iconic singer\u2019s extraordinary career. Proud of her past, but focused on the future, Kim has never stopped singing or selling out tours \u2013 she has played more shows in the past decade than ever before. Kim\u2019s trademark lust for life with the strongest set of songs of her near 40-year career. Vocally, she has never sounded better.<\/p>\n<p>Our release of the week is <strong><em>I\u2019ll Be Your Girl<\/em><\/strong>, on which <strong>The Decemberists<\/strong> explore a new sound on their inspired eighth studio album embracing such diverse influences as Roxy Music and New Order to spark a new creative path. \u201c<em>Our ambition this time was really just to get out of our comfort zone,<\/em>\u201d says Colin Meloy. The songs share a mood that\u2019s steeped in our current times and condition \u2013 \u201c<em>exuberant nihilism; an apocalyptic dance party was what we envisioned.<\/em>\u201d This is the sound of a veteran band finding new inspiration, unafraid of challenging itself to re-connect with its creativity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs_6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_Decemberists\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"The Decemberists - I\u2019ll Be Your Girl\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/Decemberists.jpg\" alt=\"The Decemberists - I\u2019ll Be Your Girl\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_YoLaTengo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Yo La Tengo - There\u2019s A Riot Going On\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/YoLaTengo.jpg\" alt=\"Yo La Tengo - There\u2019s A Riot Going On\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_CreepShow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Creep Show - Mr Dynamite\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/CreepShow.jpg\" alt=\"Creep Show - Mr Dynamite\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_STP\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Stone Temple Pilots - Stone Temple Pilots\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/STP.jpg\" alt=\"Stone Temple Pilots - Stone Temple Pilots\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_Fratellis\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"The Fratellis - In Your Own Sweet Time\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/Fratellis.jpg\" alt=\"The Fratellis - In Your Own Sweet Time\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1802.php#r180316_KimWilde\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Kim Wilde - Here Come The Aliens\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/180316\/KimWilde.jpg\" alt=\"Kim Wilde - Here Come The Aliens\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Click an image for more details and to order your copy.
