Our gems for with this week start with Skylight<\/em><\/strong>, the follow-up to Pinegrove<\/strong>\u2019s widely acclaimed 2016 breakthrough album, Cardinal<\/em>. The band\u2019s classic American melodies and emotionally direct lyrics blend seamlessly with alt-country instrumentation. The songs swing between wider extremes \u2013 whisper to full-belt and back again, treading mid-air \u2013 and Pinegrove say exactly and full-throatedly what it is they want to say. The physical edition comes with a bonus disc, Skylight II<\/em>, which is the entire album performed acoustically. This bonus album is not available via download.<\/p>\n

Bleeding On The Soundtrack<\/em><\/strong> is the second in a trilogy of autobiographical albums from William The Conqueror<\/strong> which began with 2017\u2019s Proud Disturber Of The Peace<\/em>, a sublime record that captured frontman Ruarri Joseph\u2019s early life in rural Corwall: the long fearless days spent stirring the quiet hum of village life; the glory of bike rides, den building and rope swings; the dappled half light of memory and imagination. Bleeding On The Soundtrack<\/em> is a darker more disturbed foray into adolescence then young adulthood: a tale of addiction, divorce and crossroads.<\/p>\n

Formed by husband and wife acclaimed guitarist Derek Trucks (member of The Allman Brothers Band) and guitarist\/vocalist Susan Tedeschi, Tedeschi Trucks Band<\/strong> is a group intent on moving forwards. Their fourth album, Signs<\/em><\/strong>, spotlights this Grammy Award-winning act\u2019s ability to expand musical boundaries while delivering heartfelt song-writing with conviction. Put simply, Signs<\/em> showcases the band at its best \u2013 combining inventive musicality and provocative lyrics.<\/p>\n

Funk queen Chaka Khan<\/strong> is back with a new album, Hello Happiness<\/em><\/strong>. The legendary singer\u2019s first record since 2007 is produced by Switch, formerly of Major Lazer. Its production appeals to both past and present. Chaka sings over a hand-picked selection of her favourite Switch-made tracks, which include moments that span R&B, \u201970s New York disco and modern minimalist grooves.<\/p>\n

Florida Georgia Line<\/strong> won\u2019t look back on their new album, Can\u2019t Say I Ain\u2019t Country<\/em><\/strong>: instead, Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard mark new territory and find a balance between high-energy songs and those that dig deep. To stay true to the album\u2019s title, Florida Georgia Line have stirred traditional country elements into the production along with honest story-telling to create an authentic country sound.<\/p>\n

Symphonic metal titans Avantasia<\/strong> return with phase four of their epic journey, Moonglow<\/em><\/strong>. This metal opera spaceship is piloted by Tobias Sammett. Rather than telling a story from beginning to end, this album follows a theme, but without losing the power-metal flavour that made Avantasia\u2019s previous albums so successful.<\/p>\n

Our album of the week can only be Psychedelic Country Soul<\/em><\/strong>, the first new album in over thirty years from the founders of alt-country, The Long Ryders<\/strong>! The classic line-up of Sid Griffin, Stephen McCarthy, Tom Stevens and Greg Sowders has reformed, but this is a Long Ryders for the 21st century. You can still hear their personal connection with the music of the 1960s, but as ever The Long Ryders aren\u2019t a band who live in the past. Psychedelic Country Soul<\/em> is a great testament to that, featuring 11 songs performed with precision and fire. The guitars weave and harmonicas build and ebb, and this album is set to spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n
