Our first recommendation of the week is actually out the week before! Lines<\/em><\/strong> is a trilogy of song cycles from The Unthanks<\/strong>, each with a very different subject but each using poetry to focus on a different female perspective: actor Maxine Peake has written lines about fishermen\u2019s rights campaigner Lillian Bilocca<\/em><\/strong>; the lines for World War One<\/em><\/strong> were written in 2014 for a centenary project; and poems by Emily Bront\u00eb<\/em><\/strong> have been set to music played on Emily\u2019s own piano in the parsonage in Haworth where she lived and worked.<\/p>\n

Gary Clark Jr.<\/strong> was writing his new album, This Land<\/em><\/strong>, during the US presidential election in November 2016; and, while he didn\u2019t set out to make a political album, there\u2019s an inevitability to the outcome. Gary says: \u201cI don\u2019t wanna make this thing a whole political statement, who\u2019s right or who\u2019s wrong, because people are right and wrong anywhere you go.<\/em>\u201d His desire was to demonstrate and sing about empathy for all.<\/p>\n

Sundara Karma<\/strong> follow up their acclaimed debut, Youth Is Only Fun In Retrospect<\/em>, with Ulfilas Alphabet<\/em><\/strong>. The album continues their primary sound of hook-laden guitar-driven indie music. Frontman Oscar Pollock says: \u201cNormally I\u2019ll have a batch of ideas and I\u2019ll chip away at them for months until something emerges but I was fortunate enough to have that moment where everything fell into place.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

What a 12 months it\u2019s been for Tom Walker<\/strong>! After seeing his single \u2018Leave A Light On\u2019 become an international hit in 2018, the UK\u2019s biggest breakout star has started 2019 with a bang with the release of his much anticipated debut album What A Time To Be Alive<\/em><\/strong>. Add to to that a Brits nomination, then as big as 2018 was, 2019 looks certain to be even bigger for Tom Walker.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s recommended dose of the heavy stuff comes from hard-rock veterans Queensr\u00ffche<\/strong>, one of most respected and celebrated acts in the scene, selling over 30 million albums around the world. The Verdict<\/em><\/strong> is the most metal and the most progressive record that Queensr\u00ffche have made in a long time.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Wasteland, Baby!<\/em><\/strong>, singer-songwriter Hozier<\/strong>\u2019s follow-up to his ridiculously successful eponymous debut album and last autumn\u2019s Nina Cried Power<\/em> EP. Hozier says: \u201cThe album has been over a year in the making and it\u2019s a pleasure to finally turn out my pockets and share the work. I want to sincerely thank fans and listeners for their continued support in between the records. See you out on the road soon.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
