Our soaraway six for 27 November<\/strong> starts with the 14-song collection No Fun Mondays<\/em><\/strong>, which sees Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong<\/strong> putting his signature melodic-punk spin on the songs that have formed the soundtrack to his life, including classics by John Lennon, Billy Bragg and Johnny Thunders. The No Fun Mondays series launched in March on Green Day\u2019s YouTube channel. Like many musicians, Armstrong expected to spend much of this year on the road, touring in support of Green Day\u2019s chart-topping February album, Father of All\u2026<\/em> However, once the Covid-19 pandemic forced him to put those plans on pause, Armstrong got busy with a different kind of work. \u201cWhile we\u2019ve all been in quarantine I\u2019ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life: family, friends, and, of course, music,<\/em>\u201d he says. \u201cI figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunset Remixes <\/em><\/strong>is a very special limited-edition heavyweight 12″ featuring 5 remixes of stand-out tracks from Paul Weller<\/strong>\u2019s recent critically acclaimed No 1 album. This eclectic collection was selected by Paul himself, with each reworking creating a fresh twist on the original track. One of the singles originally taken from On Sunset<\/em>, the sublime \u2018More\u2019, is given a dreamy, other-worldly remix by Skeleton Key, which is an alias for James Skelly of Liverpool band The Coral. Senegalese drummer Seckou Keita creates a beautifully stripped back version of \u2018Rockets\u2019 featuring his added vocals and sparkling delicate strings, whilst acclaimed psych-folk singer Jane Weaver also plays with \u2018Rockets\u2019 but gives it a completely different mind-bending trippy feel. Welsh songstress and synth player Gwenno contructs a minimalist and atmospheric sound on \u2018Old Father Thyme\u2019, creating a trance-like and abstract version. Le SuperHomard \u2013 whose singer, Julie Gros, appeared as guest vocalist on \u2018More\u2019 \u2013 give the album\u2019s title track their own special French je ne sais quoi<\/em>, conjuring up disco balls in plush nightclubs.<\/p>\n

Distant Memories: Live in London<\/em><\/strong> brings together selections from 2019\u2019s Distance Over Time<\/em>, in concert with the complete performance of 1999\u2019s Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory<\/em>, in what was one of the most anticipated and historic evenings in Dream Theater<\/strong> history, ultimately becoming this instant classic. The entirety of the band\u2019s \u2018The Distance Over Time Tour: Celebrating 20 Years of Scenes From a Memory\u2019 is a testament to their fans\u2019 long-term appreciation and love for the band. As the band explain: \u201cWhether you had a chance to see this tour in person and want to relive what was hopefully an awesome concert experience, or are enjoying the performance on video for the first time, Distant Memories very accurately and very beautifully captures the energy and excitement we all felt together at the Apollo this past February. We are beyond proud to offer this release with brilliant sound, visuals and artistic presentation, thanks to our talented mix engineer, director, visual artist and art director who we all value beyond words.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Folklore<\/em><\/strong> is the eighth studio album by the American phenomenon that is Taylor Swift<\/strong>. The album was created in isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic, with production from Aaron Dessner (The National), Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and Swift herself. Departing from the mainstream pop sound of Swift\u2019s previous releases, Folklore<\/em> is an indie-folk, alternative-rock, electro-folk and chamber-pop album driven by pianos and guitars.<\/p>\n

Sunny Side Up<\/em><\/strong> is the second studio album from Scottish singer-songwriter Paulo Nutini<\/strong> and his band The Vipers, which debuted at number one in the UK charts. It\u2019s now getting a reissue on yellow vinyl.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is CYR<\/em><\/strong>, the new album from Grammy Award-winning alternative-rock luminaries The Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong>. The 20-track album was produced by front-man Billy Corgan and recorded in Chicago, and features founding members Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Corgan said that the song \u2018Cyr\u2019 is \u201cdystopic folly, one soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn\u2019t possible with faith.<\/em>\u201d Global praise continues to pour in since the release of their current single and album namesake \u2018Cyr\u2019 \u2013 which was #1 most added at Alternative Radio first week of release \u2013 and \u2018The Colour Of Love,\u2019 both from the album. Variety<\/em> applauded the songs for remaining \u201crooted in the now,<\/em>\u201d and for \u201ceffortlessly taking their place alongside a catalog of cherished Smashing Pumpkins classics,<\/em>\u201d while Billboard<\/em> exclaimed \u201cThe Smashing Pumpkins are getting ready to smash it up once more.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
