The first of this week\u2019s gems comes from Israel Nash<\/strong> \u2013 hailed as a \u201cmaster of sonic textures\u201d by Rolling Stone<\/em> and a \u201cfolk-rock visionary\u201d by Uncut<\/em> \u2013 who first rose to fame in Europe, where he built a loyal following with a series of critically acclaimed albums that landed him a deal with renowned label Loose Music. As American audiences began to catch on, the Missouri native relocated to Dripping Springs, Texas, where he built his own recording studio on a ranch and embraced a more spacious, psychedelic sound that landed somewhere between Neil Young and Pink Floyd. Nash\u2019s newest record, the rousing Ozarker<\/em><\/strong>, finds him returning to his Midwestern roots, embracing the heartland rock he grew up on with larger-than-life guitars, anthemic melodies and rich character studies.<\/p>\n

Bombay Bicycle Club<\/strong>\u2019s lovingly crafted album number six, My Big Day<\/em><\/strong>, is a powerful, expansive body of work, replete with an irrepressible dose of joy. The band\u2019s studio door was wedged open for a collaborative experience, inviting the likes of Jay Som, Nil\u00fcfer Yanya, Holly Humberstone and Damon Albarn, all of whom feature. On first listen, Bombay Bicycle Club have opened up the curtains and let this revelatory set of vibrant, joyous compositions bask in the sunshine. It\u2019s an album that means business, sculpted by one of Britain\u2019s best guitar bands.<\/p>\n

Coyote<\/em><\/strong> is Dylan LeBlanc<\/strong>\u2019s fifth studio album and his first to be self-produced. Recorded at the iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, it boasts a handpicked ensemble of world-renowned session players including: Fred Eltringham, known for his work with Ringo Starr and Sheryl Crow; pianist Jim \u2018Moose\u2019 Brown, who\u2019s collaborated with Bob Seger; and bassist Seth Kaufman, celebrated for his contributions to Lana Del Rey\u2019s tracks. The album is both semi-autobiographical and a concept album centred on the evocative character of Coyote, a man on the run in pursuit of an ever-elusive freedom from his past.<\/p>\n

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark<\/strong> (OMD) return with their 14th studio album, Bauhaus Staircase<\/em><\/strong>, more than six years after the triumph of The Punishment of Luxury<\/em>. The new album was born from the impetus to kickstart new explorations during lockdown when, as Andy McCluskey admits, he \u201crediscovered the creative power of total boredom\u201d. By rights OMD should be in semi-retirement, performing classics like \u2018Enola Gay\u2019 and \u2018Maid of Orleans\u2019 on the nostalgia festival circuit like so many of their peers. Instead they\u2019ve created a landmark album that ranks among their finest work. Bauhaus Staircase<\/em> is unmistakably the work of a duo who are still perfectly in sync 45 years after their first gig at legendary Liverpool club Eric\u2019s. \u201cI\u2019m very happy with what we\u2019ve done on this record,<\/em>\u201d McCluskey summarises. \u201cI\u2019m comfortable if this is OMD\u2019s last statement.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Renowned Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation<\/strong> captivate fans with their eighth studio album, Bleed Out<\/em><\/strong>, which signifies a bold leap forward, ranging from contemporary, hard-hitting \u2018djenty\u2019 riffs to soaring melodies displaying their symphonic roots. This is an album that is as epic as it is unflinchingly outspoken. Within Temptation have created a sonic journey that fuses diverse musical styles and thought-provoking themes.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week can only be Hackney Diamonds<\/em><\/strong>, the hugely anticipated new album by The Rolling Stones<\/strong>. Following 2016\u2019s Grammy Award-winning Blue and Lonesome<\/em>, which featured brilliant versions of blues tracks that helped shape the band\u2019s sound, Hackney Diamonds<\/em> is the band\u2019s first studio album of original material since 2005\u2019s A Bigger Bang!<\/em> Late drummer Charlie Watts features on two tracks, \u2018Mess It Up\u2019 and \u2018Live by the Sword\u2019, the second of which also features former Stones bassist Bill Wyman. \u2018Sweet Sounds of Heaven\u2019 features vocals from Lady Gaga and keys and piano from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney plays bass on \u2018Bite My Head Off\u2019 and Elton John adds piano on \u2018Get Close\u2019 and \u2018Live by the Sword\u2019.<\/p>\n
