This week\u2019s new releases open with Aoife O\u2019Donovan<\/strong>, co-founder of the trio I\u2019m With Her, who continues her passion for collaboration on Age Of Apathy<\/em><\/strong>, an album that includes guest appearances by Madison Cunningham and Allison Russell. The album\u2019s singles include \u2018Phoenix\u2019, \u2018Passengers\u2019 and \u2018Prodigal Daughter\u2019.<\/p>\n

Formed in 2019, Yard Act<\/strong> began life when friends Ryan Needham (bass) and James Smith (vocals) started creating minimalist rock tracks using a primitive drum machine and a borrowed bass guitar. They later drafted in George Townend on drums and Sammy Robinson on guitars, who they met at their spiritual home The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. The quartet have only played three gigs but have already released two superb singles, and their debut album, The Overload<\/em><\/strong>, pulses with post-punk indie dance, their creativity thriving despite reduced circumstances this last year.<\/p>\n

While the rest of the world was put on hold, alt-rock stalwarts The Sherlocks<\/strong> were undergoing a rebirth, with the Davidson brothers Josh and Andy stepping down and two new band members, Alex Proctor (guitar) and Trent Jackson (bass), joining Kiaran Crook (vocals) and Brandon Crook (drums). Working closely alongside Manic Street Preachers producer Dave Eringa, World I Understand<\/em><\/strong> stands as The Sherlocks\u2019 most unshackled and ambitious album to date.<\/p>\n

Jake Xerxes Fussell<\/strong>\u2019s fourth album, Good And Green Again<\/em><\/strong>, finds the acclaimed guitarist, singer and interpreter of folk songs navigating fresh sonic and compositional landscapes on the most conceptually focused, breathtakingly rendered and enigmatically poignant record of his wondrous catalogue. Produced by James Elkington and featuring formidable players both familiar (Casey Toll, Libby Rodenbough) and new (Joe Westerlund, Bonnie \u2018Prince\u2019 Billy), it includes Jake\u2019s first original compositions and atmospheric arrangements with pedal steel, horns, and strings.<\/p>\n

Ludovico Einaudi<\/strong> returns to the ivories for his first solo piano record of new material in 20 years, since I Giorni<\/em> in 2001. Underwater<\/em><\/strong> was written with \u201csongwriting, not composing. A fresh approach<\/em>\u201d in mind, which can be heard in its memorable melodies. Ludovico says: \u201ca song is like a breath, it needs nothing more. The album is a place to freely reflect, a place without boundaries.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Things Are Great<\/em><\/strong>, the sixth studio album from Band Of Horses<\/strong> and their first record in more than five years. Sonically, the album is a return to their earlier work and the kind of raw ethos that lies at the heart of Band Of Horses. Emotionally intense, both on a personal and elemental level, on Things Are Great<\/em> we find the band\u2019s founder Ben Bridwell more autobiographical than he\u2019s ever been on record, detailing the nebulous frustrations and quiet indignities of relationship changes and what a person will do to make things right.<\/p>\n
