We\u2019ve got some crackers for you this week, starting with black midi<\/strong>\u2019s new album, Hellfire<\/em><\/strong>, which is their most thematically cohesive and intentional album yet, building on the melodic and harmonic elements of last year\u2019s Cavalcade<\/em> while expanding the brutality and intensity of their debut, Schlagenheim<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Full of songs created in the shadow of terror and loss but that crackle and pop with defiance, Fear Fear<\/em><\/strong> is a record made for agitating and dancing, for heart and soul, for here, now and tomorrow. It\u2019s a record that explores juxtaposition: that of life and death, acceptance and isolation, environment and humanity, hope and despair, the real world and the digital world. That top-to-bottom rigour, that complete vision, is what makes the second album from Working Men\u2019s Club<\/strong> such a stunning and unique achievement.<\/p>\n

Kathryn Williams<\/strong>\u2019s first official album since Hypoxia<\/em> in 2015, Night Drives<\/em><\/strong>, opens with some of her most immediate electronic tracks to date, such as the nihilistic \u2018Human\u2019, big ballad \u2018Answer In The Dark\u2019 \u2013 with all its bold, layered production \u2013 and the dynamic, infectious \u2018Radioactive\u2019. Elsewhere, on the likes of \u2018Moon Karaoke\u2019, \u2018Magnets\u2019 and \u2018The Brightest\u2019, she explores a more cinematic sound, slowly unravelling stories backed by delicate acoustics and elated, emotive string pieces. \u2018Put The Needle On The Record\u2019 and joint closers \u2018Starry Heavens\u2019 and \u2018I Am Rich In All That I\u2019ve Lost\u2019 are relaxed and fall into the more traditional world of folk-inspired melancholia. Kathryn\u2019s inimitable charm colours the whole album with emotion and affection: occasionally brooding, always likeable.<\/p>\n

A stupendous new 2-CD \/ 4-LP box set celebrates 30 years of Orbital<\/strong> with a wealth of new editions containing reworks, remakes, remixes and re-imaginings of landmark tracks based on the duo\u2019s unrivalled live show. The pandemic caused Orbital to miss their actual thirtieth anniversary, but it gave Paul and Phil Hartnoll space to think and find a way to celebrate their past that was actually about the future, and 30 Something<\/em><\/strong> was born. The set includes remixes by Yotto, ANNA, Jon Hopkins, Dusky, Joris Voorn, Logo 1000, Eli Brown and Shanti Celeste.<\/p>\n

Special<\/em><\/strong> is the highly anticipated new album from 3-time Grammy-winning global superstar Lizzo<\/strong>, which follows her multi-platinum top-10 2019 debut album, Cuz I Love You<\/em>. The album features her irresistible new single \u2018About Damn Time\u2019. Cuz I Love You<\/em> spent 24 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 while \u2018Truth Hurts\u2019 also became the longest-running #1 in history by a solo female rap artist after spending seven weeks atop the charts.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is The Other Side Of Make-Believe<\/em><\/strong> from Interpol<\/strong>. When lockdown clamped in March 2020, Interpol quickly got into a productive mood. Coming from a group whose early work was populated by Polish knife-wielders and incarcerated serial killers, you might expect Interpol\u2019s pandemic record to be an emotional tar pit \u2013 doubly so, given the presence of towering producer\u2013engineer duo Flood and Moulder on the boards. But singer Paul Banks felt the call to push in a \u2018counterbalancing\u2019 direction, and The Other Side Of Make-Believe<\/em> features paeans to mental resilience and the quiet power of going easy. \u201cThe nobility of the human spirit is to recover and rebound,<\/em>\u201d he says. \u201cYeah, I could focus on how fucked everything is, but I feel now is the time when being hopeful is necessary, and a still-believable emotion within what makes Interpol Interpol.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
