We kick off this week\u2019s new releases with Earth To Dora<\/em><\/strong>, the highly anticipated new album from Los Angeles indie rock outfit Eels<\/strong>. \u201cThese songs came about just before the pandemic hit and changed everything,<\/em>\u201d said Mark Oliver Everett, also known as E. \u201cI\u2019m hoping they can be, maybe kind of soothing or something. To hear songs dealing with things we are dreaming about getting back to. Or maybe people are dealing with some of the topics right now as well. Just one song was done in the thick of the early pandemic days, \u2018Are We Alright Again\u2019, which is kind of a quarantine daydream I desperately needed to have.<\/em>\u201d The album was recorded at the band\u2019s studio in Los Feliz, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Since her debut album arrived in 1968, Joni Mitchell<\/strong>\u2019s songs have been embraced across generations, inspired multitudes of artists around the world and earned every conceivable accolade. She is now opening her vault for the first time to create the Joni Mitchell Archives, a new series of boxed-set releases that will span the next several years, featuring deep dives in to unreleased content from different eras of her storied career. Mitchell has been intimately involved in producing the archive series, lending her vision and personal touch to every element of the project. The series debuts with Archives Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963\u20131967)<\/em><\/strong>, which features nearly six hours of unreleased home, live and radio recordings that flow chronologically to paint a rich portrait of Mitchell\u2019s rapid growth as a performer and songwriter during the period leading up to her debut album. This treasure trove of unheard audio includes 29 original Mitchell compositions that have never before been released with her vocals. Looking back, Mitchell reflects on her early label of \u201cfolk singer\u201d: \u201cThe early stuff, I shouldn\u2019t be such a snob against it. A lot of these songs, I just lost them. They fell away. They only exist in these recordings. For so long I rebelled against the term: \u2018I was never a folk-singer.\u2019 I would get pissed off if they put that label on me. I didn\u2019t think it was a good description of what I was. And then I listened and\u2026it was beautiful. It made me forgive my beginnings. And I had this realization \u2026 I <\/em>was a folk singer!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A companion piece, Live At Canterbury House 1967<\/em><\/strong>, includes Joni\u2019s entire, previously unreleased three-set performance from 27 October 1967, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and limited to 10,000 copies. Bob Franke, who was covering Mitchell\u2019s show at Canterbury House for the Michigan Daily<\/em> while also moonlighting as a doorman at the club, pens the liners for Live At Canterbury House<\/em>. His original review for the Michigan Daily<\/em> is also included.<\/p>\n

East London-born music legend and all-round boundary-breaking innovator Dizzee Rascal<\/strong> brings us his 7th studio album, entitled E3 AF<\/em><\/strong>, which includes the hot new single \u2018L.L.L.L (Love Life Live Large)\u2019. This new release marks the genesis of a new era for Dizzee and is the first album of his in more than a decade to be wholly written, recorded and produced in the UK. E3 AF<\/em> is a 10-track layered, purposeful statement of intent, rooted in Dizzee\u2019s indelible ties to both east London and Black British music\u2019s legacy. His sound is sharper, stronger and more self-assured than ever, and it is obvious that he has poured the creative energy of the past few years into E3 AF<\/em> as a body of work.<\/p>\n

The end of 2019 was soundtracked by one of the most unanimously critically acclaimed film scores of recent history, Daniel Lopatin\u2019s anxiety-driven joyride paired to the Safdie Brothers\u2019 noir thriller Uncut Gems. Unknowingly, Lopatin had captured a universal feeling of dread that cuts even deeper in the current state of world affairs. And now, just as many artists are leaning into a newly discovered darkness as this year closes, Lopatin turns his dial towards a frequency of profound self-awareness on an even deeper journey inwards towards peace. With the backdrop of re-imagined programming for a soft rock-era format that symbolically spans from morning drive into late night hours, Magic Oneohtrix Point Never<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the name a reference to a misheard play on words of Boston\u2019s Magic 106.7 \u2013 is a nostalgic and self-referential career-defining body of work, collaging maximalist baroque within atmospheric glitter. Here Lopatin has mastered his own autobiography; an ornate musical double entendre from an artist making the most enlightened music of his career.<\/p>\n

A remastered reissue celebrates the 20th anniversary of U2<\/strong>\u2019s 10th studio album All That You Can\u2019t Leave Behind<\/em><\/strong>, which was released on 30th October 2000 and reached Number 1 in 32 countries. The album brought us the hit singles \u2018Beautiful Day\u2019, \u2018Stuck In A Moment You Can\u2019t Get Out Of\u2019, \u2018Elevation\u2019 and \u2018Walk On\u2019 and has sold over 12 million copies to date. Produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, it was recorded in Dublin (HQ, Windmill Lane, Westland and Totally Wired) and the South of France. It won 7 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album, and is the only album in history to have multiple tracks win the award for Record Of The Year (\u2018Beautiful Day\u2019 in 2001 and \u2018Walk On\u2019 in 2002).<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from the Grammy- and Brit Award-winning artist Elvis Costello<\/strong>, whose new album, Hey Clockface<\/em><\/strong>, was recorded during a weekend session at Les Studios Saint Germain in Paris. \u201cI sang live on the studio floor, directing from the vocal booth. We cut nine songs in two days. We spoke very little. Almost everything the musicians played was a spontaneous response to the song I was singing. I\u2019d had a dream of recording in Paris like this, one day.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
