This week\u2019s six sizzlers open up with BC Camplight<\/strong> (Brian Christinzio). Is there a curse that says he cannot move forward without being knocked back? That the greatest material is born out of emotional trauma? While making his new album, The Last Rotation of Earth<\/em><\/strong>, Christinzio\u2019s relationship with his fianc\u00e9 crumbled after nine inseparable years. The album follows this break-up amid long-term struggles with addiction and declining mental health. The outcome is an extraordinary record, with Christinzio describing it as \u201cmore cinematic, sophisticated, and nuanced than anything I\u2019ve done before. And more desperate.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Digging further into his catalogue, Moby<\/strong> has reimagined fifteen of his most iconic tracks for Resound NYC<\/em><\/strong>, These new versions of tracks that he wrote between 1994 and 2010 while living in New York City feature a vibrant, brass-heavy sound. From the sublime desperation of \u2018When It\u2019s Cold I\u2019d Like to Die\u2019 to the manic stomp of \u2018Extreme Ways\u2019 (best known as the theme from the Jason Bourne film franchise), the reworked tracks burst forth with boundless energy. Guest vocalists on Resound NYC<\/em> include Nicole Scherzinger, Gregory Porter, Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Mylene Farmer, Amythyst Kiah, Lady Blackbird, Dougy Mandagi (The Temper Trap) and more.<\/p>\n

Each meticulously curated release by Craven Faults<\/strong> moves their story forward \u2013 each one a self-contained analogue electronic journey across northern Britain, viewed through the lens of a century in popular music. Studios, venues and movements. Technology and ingenuity. Vibrations. Lines drawn to connect those moments of inspiration. On Standers<\/em><\/strong>, there\u2019s a sonic shift. A new palette to paint from and further refinement of the craft.<\/p>\n

Animal Collective<\/strong> are reissuing their very first record, Spirit They\u2019re Gone, Spirit They\u2019ve Vanished<\/em><\/strong>. Originally released in a very small CD-only pressing on their own Animal label in August 2000 and credited to Avey Tare & Panda Bear prior to the full collective band name being used on releases, the album has been praised by Vulture<\/em> for its \u201cstarry-eyed sense of songcraft\u201d and described by Pitchfork as \u201ca masterful piece of electro-acoustic fairy-tale music; yet its squealing electronics, and vitrified rhythms suggest something darker. Like a Snickers bar with a razor blade in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okemah Rising<\/em><\/strong> is the final instalment of the Woody Guthrie \/ Dropkick Murphys<\/strong> collaboration, so the band wanted to bring it home with a bang. Whereas the goal of This Machine Still Kills Fascists<\/em> was to raise consciousness, Okemah Rising<\/em> intends to raise the roof. Sure, it has one or two tender moments, but all in all it\u2019s much more of a party than TMSKF<\/em>. Even a party record can have a message though, and the band felt that on the road over the last few months as they played Okemah Rising<\/em> songs \u2018Gotta Get to Peekskill\u2019 and \u2018I Know How It Feels\u2019 on tour all over the world. Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody\u2019s words, his steadfast defence of the working class and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from Alison Goldfrapp<\/strong>, who has set a towering bar for British synth-pop in the 21st century and she\u2019s only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter and producer\u2019s seven albums with Goldfrapp were fuelled by an unfailing modernity and a sixth sense for sounds that were more timeless than any trend. With the release of her debut solo album, The Love Invention<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 an electrifying dance-pop suite \u2013 her multi-faceted musicianship reaches a new peak.<\/p>\n
