The first of this week\u2019s six smashers is Deeper Well<\/em><\/strong>, the fifth album from six-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves<\/strong>, whose music is almost chimeric, with rolling acoustic guitars, puffy clouds of strings and synth, warm bass punctuations, layered harmonies, moments of Celtic melody and plenty of room on the tracks for Musgraves\u2019 silvery vocals. On the bright, almost folky title track, the 30-something songstress surveys her life and priorities, recognising what feeds her, drains her and even examining the childhood she\u2019s left behind on her way to now.<\/p>\n

In just six days and \u201cwithout overthinking anything,\u201d Noah Kahan<\/strong> completed the five-track Cape Elizabeth<\/em><\/strong> EP, which features fan-favourite songs \u2018A Troubled Mind\u2019, \u2018Glue Myself Shut\u2019 and \u2018Maine\u2019 and has amassed 200m streams. It now gets its first physical release as Noah\u2019s thank-you to the fans who stuck around, went to shows, watched his livestreams and listened. Noah says \u201cThe EP in particular is such a special story, because it was right at the beginning of the pandemic, and I just made it with my neighbour, a friend of mine, who\u2019s an amazing producer. We worked on it for a week, and we didn\u2019t really promote it too much \u2013 and it kind of became \u2018Stick Season\u2019 before \u2018Stick Season\u2019 in a lot of ways. It was a study on a place and a relationship in a place, and it was the first time I\u2019d experimented with telling a story that felt like it had an overarching narrative.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Timeless. Explosive. Romantic. Inspiring. How else to characterize Blue Electric Light<\/em><\/strong>, the 12th studio album by Lenny Kravitz<\/strong>? Kravitz\u2019s mastery of deep-soul rock\u2019n\u2019roll is a long-established fact. As a relentless creative force \u2013 musician, writer, producer, actor, author, designer \u2013 he continues to be a global dynamic presence throughout music, art and culture. Blue Electric Light<\/em> is an impassioned suite of songs that broadens this distinction and is the latest contribution of a man whose music \u2013 not to mention his singular style \u2013 continues to inspire millions all over the world. On the album, Kravitz\u2019s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist resonate as he wrote and played most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross.<\/p>\n

The cheekiest band in the land, The Dandy Warhols<\/strong>, return with Rockmaker<\/em><\/strong>, their 12th studio album. Produced and recorded by the band at their studio\/funhouse The Odditorium in Portland, Oregon, Rockmaker<\/em> sees the \u2018Bohemian Like You\u2019 hitmakers celebrate their 30th year together with a sprinkle of glitter on their grime. Accompanied by guests Debbie Harry, Slash and Pixies\u2019 Frank Black, The Dandy Warhols wrangle paranoia, untangle anxious discontent, and lust after life while the dance grooves go deeper, heady drones get weirder and riffage fit for bong rips hammers. Rockmaker<\/em> is the Dandy\u2019s clearest statement yet, at no sacrifice to their outr\u00e9 leanings. This is the sound of outsider alt-psych fixtures looking in as the walls come down.<\/p>\n

Originally released in 1986, Brutal<\/em><\/strong> has never been reissued on vinyl until now. It features a dream cast: Sly & Robbie as Black Uhuru<\/strong>\u2019s leaders, Junior Reid on vocals, Tyrone Downie (Roots Radics) on keyboards, all mixed at Lion & Fox by Ras Records fetish engineer Jim Fox. The original audio has been remastered for both vinyl and CD to give this legendary album even more sparkle.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week comes from The Black Crowes<\/strong>, who return after 5 years with their 10th studio album, Happiness Bastards<\/em><\/strong>. The project might have been several tumultuous years in the making, but it\u2019s arriving at just the right time. Whether it\u2019s fraternal love or music destiny that brought the Robinson brothers back together, the highly anticipated record consecrating the reunion of this legendary band just may be the thing that saves rock\u2019n\u2019roll. In a time where the art form is buried beneath the corporate sheen of its successors, The Black Crowes are biting back with the angst of words left unsaid penned on paper and electrified by guitar strings, revealing stripped, bare-boned rock\u2019n\u2019roll. No gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at it\u2019s very best \u2013 gritty, loud, and in your face.<\/p>\n
