First out of this week\u2019s box of delights is Jo\u00e3o<\/em><\/strong>, a collection of songs made famous by Bebel Gilberto<\/strong>\u2019s father. Jo\u00e3o Gilberto, widely regarded as the father of bossa nova music, passed away in 2019 after a 70-year career in music. Bebel began singing with him as a small child and the songs she sings on this new album have been with her all her life. Says Bebel: \u201cJo\u00e3o is a love letter to my father. Since my first album I\u2019ve never really covered any of my Dad\u2019s music. Now it\u2019s time to present to the public the songs from Jo\u00e3o Gilberto that have influenced me since I was born \u2013 and even before.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Southern Star<\/em><\/strong> is the brand-new album from Grammy-nominated, critically acclaimed singer\/songwriter Brent Cobb<\/strong>. He explains the album: \u201cYou know how when you\u2019re growing up you\u2019re told that if you ever get lost out there, look for the northern star to help find direction back home? Well, I\u2019m from Georgia, so I always look for the southern star. This album, the songs, the sounds \u2026 it\u2019s all a product of where I\u2019m from both musically and environmentally. Historically and presently that place also happens to be the same place that cultivated a good many of the most influential artists in the whole world of music. Music as we know it would not exist without the American south. It\u2019s funky and sentimental. It\u2019s simple and complex.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Kylie<\/strong>\u2019s brand-new studio album, Tension<\/em><\/strong>, is a record of euphoric, empowered dancefloor bangers and sultry pop cuts \u2013 eleven tracks of unabashedly joyful, pleasure-seeking, seize-the-moment pop tunes \u2013 with the hypnotic electro of \u2018Padam Padam\u2019 opening the album. Discussing Tension<\/em>, Kylie says: \u201cI started this album with an open mind and a blank page. Unlike my last two albums there wasn\u2019t a \u2018theme\u2019; it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song\u2019s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it\u2019s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Flying Wig<\/em><\/strong> is an album of recurrent dualities: a can of paradoxes, a box of worms. The cabin studio, surrounded by redwood and pine trees, in which Devendra Banhart<\/strong> was constantly listening to The Grateful Dead somehow birthed something slick, modernist, city pop-adjacent and Eno-esque. Banhart\u2019s eleventh record is the actualisation of a precious friendship with the acclaimed solo artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and Mexican Summer stable-mate Cate Le Bon \u2013 a coming together prophesied by the mirror-image titles of their early solo albums (Banhart\u2019s 2002 Oh Me Oh My<\/em> to Le Bon\u2019s 2009 Me Oh My<\/em>) and a tenderness built on crude haircuts (\u201cwe finally met, soon after she was cutting my hair with a fork and that was that\u201d) and home-made tattoos \u2013 but never previously translated into the recording studio.<\/p>\n

After forty years of marriage, Buddy & Julie Miller<\/strong> have learned to welcome a song however it arrives, questioning only where the song is taking them rather than where it originated. There\u2019s no process, no assembly-line procedure; just an openness to those bursts of inspiration and those hours of refinement. This means their fourth album together, In the Throes<\/em><\/strong>, sounds lively and diverse, eccentric and slightly askew: a deeply soulful collision of mournful gospel, dusty country, cosmic blues, lusty rockabilly, ecstatic r&b and anything else that crosses their minds.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Teenage Fanclub<\/strong>\u2019s eleventh full studio album, Nothing Lasts Forever<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 a beautifully rich and melodic album that is the sound of a season\u2019s end, of the last warm days of the year as nights begin to draw in and thoughts become reflective and more than a little melancholy. That reflection is everywhere on the record, whether on the autumnal folk-rock of \u2018Tired of Being Alone\u2019 that repositions Laurel Canyon to somewhere deep in the heart of the Wye Valley, the William Blake-quoting \u2018Self-Sedation\u2019 or the song that preceded Nothing Lasts Forever<\/em>\u2019s completion, last year\u2019s \u2018I Left a Light On\u2019, where a spark of hope is kept alight at the end of a relationship.<\/p>\n
