This week\u2019s zingers start with Torpedo<\/em><\/strong>, which signals a band refreshed, inspired by the new and not resting on the strength of their considerable successes. Like so many of Feeder<\/strong>\u2019s high points, Torpedo<\/em> is a communal experience that considers the processes through which we deal with what\u2019s in front of us. Musically it acts as a connecting thread between all they\u2019ve journeyed through to date and all they can still become in the future.<\/p>\n

Cypress Hill<\/strong> shifts culture. Since releasing its eponymous debut album in 1991, the California rap group has regularly revolutionised rap, and B-Real and Sen Dog\u2019s innovative lyrics, distinctive voices and poignant street-centred subject matter catapulted the group to superstar status. That debut sold more than 2 million units and the follow-up, 1993\u2019s Black Sunday<\/em>, outdid even that thanks to the Grammy-nominated singles \u2018Insane In The Brain\u2019 and \u2018I Ain\u2019t Goin\u2019 Out Like That\u2019. Back In Black<\/em><\/strong>, the group\u2019s forthcoming tenth studio project, finds the group flexing its musical muscles and pushing itself creatively, with a mesmerising mix of celebratory, confrontational, inspirational, reflective and rugged songs.<\/p>\n

King Rocker<\/em><\/strong>, a documentary by Stewart Lee spotlighting The Nightingales<\/strong> as one of the best bands in Britain, proved to be one of 2021\u2019s break-out successes. This special deluxe bookback DVD+CD package includes the full-length feature film plus over 90 minutes of extras and unseen footage, alongside the soundtrack. This collector\u2019s edition is beautifully encased with 20 pages of unreleased behind-the-scenes photos and liner notes from Michael Cumming and Stewart Lee. The LP is available on limited-edition red vinyl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Georgia Gothic<\/em><\/strong>, a magic third in Mattiel<\/strong>\u2019s run of full-length albums, was shaped in the quiet seclusion of a woodland cabin in the north of the Atlanta duo\u2019s mother-state; \u201cSome faraway place that just Jonah and I could go where there would be no distractions, nothing else going on, and we could turn everything off and only focus on writing songs,<\/em>\u201d reflects Atina Mattiel Brown. Where 2017\u2019s self-titled debut and its 2019 sequel, Satis Factory<\/em>, were written with what Jonah Swilley refers to as a \u2018hands-off\u2019 approach \u2013 he arranging the music and Brown the lyrics and vocals, the two working largely separately \u2013 the making of Georgia Gothic<\/em> was, for the first time, a truly collaborative undertaking.<\/p>\n

Island Family<\/em><\/strong> is the fifth album from Isle-of-Eigg-dwelling electro-acoustic psych-pop wonder Pictish Trail<\/strong>, a.k.a. Johnny Lynch. A strange, unpredictable, sardonic and yet deeply personal record inspired by everything from Fever Ray to The Flaming Lips, Liars, Mercury Rev and Beck, Island Family<\/em> is Pictish Trail\u2019s contrarian view of arcadia; a search for the euphoric in the bucolic, bound up in sometimes conflicting ideas and feelings around nature and environment, sincerity and artifice, escapism and belonging. It\u2019s an album about how no man can remain an island, however hard he might try.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is For The Sake Of Bethel Woods<\/em><\/strong>, an album of immersive warmth and mystery from Midlake<\/strong>, a band of ardent seekers, one of our generation\u2019s finest: a band once feared lost themselves by fans, perhaps, but here revivified with freshness and constancy of intent. Loss and hope, isolation and communion, the cessation and renewal of purpose; timeless and salient, these themes echo throughout the band\u2019s fifth album, their first since Antiphon<\/em> in 2013, which has been produced to layered, loving perfection by John Congleton.<\/p>\n
