This week\u2019s super six starts with Lorde<\/strong>, who describes her new album, Solar Power<\/em><\/strong>, as \u201ca celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I\u2019m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I\u2019ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by such classic concept albums as Willie Nelson\u2019s Red-Headed Stranger<\/em>, The Ballad Of Dood & Juanita<\/em><\/strong> is Grammy-winning singer\/songwriter Sturgill Simpson<\/strong>\u2019s third album in twelve months, and his most ambitious project to date.<\/p>\n

Over the course of their first ten years, Deafheaven<\/strong> tempered harmonic rage with tormented beauty, their music a hybrid of black metal\u2019s malice and shoegaze\u2019s sublime wall-of-sound. But they are no longer toying with pitting metallic abrasion against swirling grandeur. Quite the opposite: their fifth album, Infinite Granite<\/em><\/strong>, is a bold and brave leap forward, a gorgeous and invigorating album brimming with style and splendour.<\/p>\n

Shannon And The Clams<\/strong>, fronted by Shannon Shaw and Cody Blanchard, wrote and recorded Year Of The Spider<\/em><\/strong> with Grammy award-winning producer Dan Auerbach at his legendary Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville during the past year. It is an endlessly vivacious, ebullient, and clever album from the kings and queen of the Bay Area garage-punk scene.<\/p>\n

Chrissie Hynde<\/strong> and her Pretenders bandmate James Walbourne started playing around with the music of Bob Dylan to help get them through lockdown. The Dylan songs on Standing In The Doorway<\/em><\/strong> were recorded almost entirely by text message: James would record an initial idea on his phone and send it off to Chrissie to add her vocal, and the album developed from there.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from that beguiling performer and songwriter Martha Wainwright<\/strong>, who makes a most welcome return with Love Will Be Reborn<\/em><\/strong>. It\u2019s her first new album in five years, since 2016\u2019s Goodnight City<\/em>, and the first since 2012\u2019s acclaimed Come Home To Mama<\/em> to feature so much original material.<\/p>\n
