We kick off this week\u2019s gems with Waysides<\/em><\/strong>, the third collection of songs from Los Angeles-based folk singer\/songwriter Azniv Korkejian, who performs and records as Bedouine<\/strong>. The album summarises her creative headspace over the past year and a half, comprising some older material and a cover and tying together many songwriting threads that act as a prologue of sorts. \u201cIt feels like going back in time, uncovering little capsules,<\/em>\u201d she explained. \u201cI would never have gotten to do this if I didn\u2019t have this abundance of time at home. It was my silver lining in this mess and gave me purpose.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The Versions<\/em><\/strong> is a collaboration album of covers from Neneh Cherry<\/strong>\u2019s extensive catalogue by some of the most exciting and revered female artists of our time, including superstar songwriter Sia\u2019s version of Neneh\u2019s hit \u2018Manchild\u2019 plus versions of other classic tracks including \u2018Buffalo Stance\u2019, \u2018Woman\u2019 and \u2018Buddy X\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ultraviolet Battle Hymns And True Confessions<\/em><\/strong>, the brand-new album from The Dream Syndicate<\/strong>, blends vintage Krautrock, Eno-like ambience, Neu-inspired rhythmic groove and a Californian sheen sun-baked into their classic psychedelic, melodic hue. The Dream Syndicate have moved well past their early Velvet Underground influences and taken on British glam, German prog and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe <\/em>Gold Rush Kid<\/em><\/strong>? That\u2019s me,<\/em>\u201d says George Ezra<\/strong>, reflecting on the title of his third record \u2013 a 12-strong suite of marvellous, transporting, elevational songs that, more than anything, \u201csound like me. That\u2019s what ties them together.<\/em>\u201d After two blockbuster albums \u2013 Wanted On Voyage<\/em> (2014) and Staying At Tamara\u2019s<\/em> (2018), both of which reached number 1 in the UK and sold millions around the world, and the latter of which earned him his first number 1 single in \u2018Shotgun\u2019 and won him the 2019 Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist \u2013 it was time to return to heart and hearth, with an album written and produced entirely in London with longstanding collaborator Joel Pott.<\/p>\n

Shearwater<\/strong>\u2019s seventh studio album, The Great Awakening<\/em><\/strong>, shows us where its wandering frontman has been. While the thundering songs of the band\u2019s 2016 LP Jet Plane And Oxbow<\/em> were filled with fears for what the United States was becoming under the previous presidential administration, Jonathan Meiburg resolved to find a new approach for their new album. \u201cI felt hopeless,<\/em>\u201d he admits. \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t want to make hopeless music.<\/em>\u201d As a result, The Great Awakening<\/em>, which was produced by the band and Dan Duszynski (Loma), is a soulful and immersive travelogue of grand atmospheres and intimate landscapes, decorated with field recordings from Meiburg\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler<\/strong>, who have joined forces on For All Our Days That Tear The Heart<\/em><\/strong>, a collection of twelve mesmerising new songs. The meeting of an Academy Award-nominated actress and singer with a Brit Award-winning producer and musician feels like the tale of two distant stars coming together and forming their own constellation. As they say: \u201cThe album should be discovered by the world as if they have tripped across a box of photographs in the back of their closet they didn\u2019t know was there<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
