The first of this week\u2019s treasures was recorded on The Rolling Stones<\/strong>\u2019 40th anniversary Licks World Tour in 2002 & 2003, with the band performing in arenas and stadiums in addition to the occasional theatre. In November 2002, the Stones arrived in Los Angeles to perform at a packed Wiltern Theatre, treating fans to a set heavy on rarities that feel right at home in such an intimate setting. While the band did perform some of their hits, this night at the Wiltern is notable for the rarely played classics, including \u2018Stray Cat Blues\u2019, \u2018No Expectations\u2019 and a cover of \u2018Everybody Needs Somebody to Love\u2019 featuring a guest spot by the legendary Solomon Burke, who opened the show that night.<\/p>\n

On a Golden Shore<\/em><\/strong> arrives as The Hanging Stars<\/strong> reflect on a year of triumphs, spearheading the UK\u2019s Cosmic Americana cohort. Their new album finds them definitively themselves and presents a set of disparate songs whose fundamental linkage is the band that made them. On a Golden Shore<\/em> is ultimately an album of sensation as much as thought, filled with fleeting moments of blissful excess and stumbling, rushing flutters of sound; its evanescent psychedelia, divine choruses and shards of strings combine into an infectious, compelling cosmic heartbreak boogie.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s two years since Connectivity<\/em> (2021) smashed into the top 40 and debuted at #1 in the UK download chart, propelling the fiercely independent voice of Grace Petrie<\/strong> from critics\u2019 choice to the main stages of major festivals across the UK and Ireland, Australia and Canada. Recorded raw and unflinchingly with folk-punk legend Frank Turner in the producer\u2019s seat, Build Something Better<\/em><\/strong> is a return to blistering protest form for Britain\u2019s most relevant political songwriter, a decade after being hailed as \u201ca powerful new voice\u201d (The Guardian<\/em>) and \u201ca millennial\u2019s Billy Bragg\u201d (Huffington Post<\/em>). In a world that seems to make less sense than ever, these are songs made both to holler along to from the crowd barrier and to tear up with on a lonely late-night train. A record for everyone whose broken heart beats for, and whose boots stomp in time with, the hope of a brighter tomorrow.<\/p>\n

After a phenomenal 18-month period during which they released two critically acclaimed studio albums, New Long Leg<\/em> (2021) and Stumpwork<\/em> (2022), and became one of the most talked-about bands in Britain, Dry Cleaning<\/strong> reissue their first two EPs, Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks \/ Sweet Princess<\/em><\/strong>. The two EPs, remastered and presented here on a single disc, share a similar pent-up energy, unsurprising given they came to life in the same environment, an environment that had a huge influence on the band during those formative years.<\/p>\n

Between 1988 and 1991, Pixies<\/strong> recorded six sessions for the BBC: five for John Peel and one for Mark Goodier. Catching the raw energy of the band\u2019s live performances, these sessions felt immediately noteworthy, timestamping a moment when Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering were motoring out front. Among the twenty-four tracks they recorded in this period are favourites from mini-album Come on Pilgrim<\/em> and three of their four 4AD studio albums. Also recorded were three covers: reworks of The Beatles\u2019 \u2018Wild Honey Pie\u2019, \u2018In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)\u2019 from the film Eraserhead<\/em> and The Beach Boys\u2019 \u2018Hang On To Your Ego\u2019, a track Black Francis covered a few years later on his debut solo album.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is The Collective<\/em><\/strong>, the second solo album from musician and visual artist Kim Gordon<\/strong>. The new album follows her 2019 solo debut, No Home Record<\/em>, and continues her collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor). It was recorded in Gordon\u2019s native Los Angeles and advances their joint world-building, with Raisin\u2019s damaged, blown-out dub and trap constructions playing the foil to Gordon\u2019s intuitive word collages and hooky mantras, conjuring communication, commercial sublimation and sensory overload.<\/p>\n
