The first of this week\u2019s hot six is Day-Glo<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 an unexpected album, featuring 10 brand-new Erasure<\/strong> songs, each track created using elements from The Neon<\/em>\u2019s universe. Familiar but unexpected, the songs bear little resemblance to the original album, although echoes of The Neon<\/em> can be heard from time to time. The album is an alternative look at Vince and Andy\u2019s world, and marks the closure of this chapter of The Neon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A fiery, confident kick-back against convention, Pale Waves<\/strong>\u2019 third record, Unwanted<\/em><\/strong>, sees the group building on the promise of last year\u2019s UK Top 3 album Who Am I?<\/em> and staking their claim as British rock\u2019s most dynamic young group.<\/p>\n

Cheat Codes<\/em><\/strong> is Danger Mouse<\/strong>\u2019s first hip-hop album since his 2005 DangerDOOM<\/em> collaboration with the late, great MF DOOM, and Black Thought<\/strong>\u2019s only full-length collaboration beyond his pioneering music in The Roots. Danger Mouse\u2019s soulful, freewheeling production serves as the perfect backdrop to Black Thought\u2019s metronomic, pin-sharp and chorus-free lyrical deluge. The result is a dizzying, thrilling album from two of contemporary music\u2019s most respected artists.<\/p>\n

Of Kasabian<\/strong>\u2019s new album, The Alchemist\u2019s Euphoria<\/em><\/strong>, the band\u2019s seventh, Serge Pizzorno says: \u201cOne thing about this record I feel over the other ones is it definitely feels like a body of work that belongs together. It was a beautiful moment in mastering hearing it as a piece. I think it really holds up in our seven albums\u2026. The Magnificent Seven.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Smash-cut to Kiwi Jr.<\/strong>\u2019s third album, Chopper<\/em><\/strong>, overseen by trusted pilot Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs) on the renowned Sub Pop label. Turning nocturnal with necks mock turtle, our Local Kiwi Jr. takes neon flight off the digital cliff \u2013 like The Monkees starring in Blade Runner; like Michael Mann directs Encino Man. Ten songs with synth shimmer, zen gongs with yard strimmer. The signs along the highway read \u201cLESS BAR, MORE NOIR AHEAD.\u201d Ah, those late summer, Joe Strummer, Home on the Range Rover Blues. There\u2019s a melancholy to all forms of flight, and the view out the Chopper is as hazy as it gets: mission-oriented, both stealth and self-realised. This album is decidedly (yet almost secretly) anti-patio-sunscreen-Beach Boys bachelor-cruise sing-a-long.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from Osees<\/strong>, who don\u2019t seem to mutate or morph so much as remain extraordinarily open to what they are moved to do next, and remain capable of making music that\u2019s consistently good. What motivated the band to turn loose the hyperconcentrated slightly less than 22-minute burst of meteor density somewhat punkazoidal music that is A Foul Form<\/em><\/strong>? When it comes to Osees, that\u2019s a pointless question as they just do the next thing \u2013 genre, prevailing tastes or whatever influence might guide a lesser unit are not even a consideration for them.<\/p>\n
