On <strong><em>Indoor Safari<\/em><\/strong>, backed on every track by his trusted collaborators Los Straitjackets, Nick exhibits his razor-sharp songwriting ability through a multitude of sonic environments. With his signature wit on display for grooving numbers like \u2018Went to a Party\u2019 and \u2018Don\u2019t Be Nice to Me\u2019 to the heartfelt sentiment on \u2018Blue on Blue\u2019 and \u2018Jet Pac Boomerang\u2019, and topped with Nick breathing new life into hidden gems of the \u201960s like \u2018Raincoat in the River\u2019 and \u2018A Quiet Place\u2019, <em>Indoor Safari<\/em> demonstrates how Nick Lowe continues to make his mark as a performer, songwriter and producer over a half-century after his start in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tindersticks<\/strong>\u2019 14th album, <strong><em>Soft Tissue<\/em><\/strong>, showcases their exploratory spirit, mixing intimate songwriting with experimental soundscapes. The album evolves from their previous work, balancing introspective lyrics with innovative musical textures. Band members, including singer Stuart Staples, emphasise the collaborative nature of the creation process, fostering a dynamic dialogue that shapes their music. Key tracks like \u2018New World\u2019 and \u2018Always a Stranger\u2019 highlight this blend of personal reflection and sonic exploration, underscoring the band\u2019s enduring ambition and versatility.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most exciting musicians today, <strong>Nil\u00fcfer Yanya<\/strong>, returns with a brand-new studio album, <strong><em>My Method Actor<\/em><\/strong>. With a unique blend of soulful melodies, indie rock grit and jazz influences, Yanya\u2019s music continues to captivate audiences worldwide. This new body of work is a development and evolution from her previous sound. Her first album, <em>Miss Universe<\/em>, and its 2022 follow-up, <em>Painless<\/em>, cemented her as one to watch and a staple in the indie scene, lauded by critics on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Greatest Love<\/em><\/strong> follows British trio <strong>London Grammar<\/strong>\u2019s critically acclaimed number 1 album <em>Californian Soil<\/em>, which was released in 2021 and earned the band their second Brit nomination for Best British Group. Arriving over a decade since the trio first entered the industry, the new album is a celebration: the sound of a band laying to rest the past and realising a newfound sense of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Over a catalogue of six albums, <strong>Native Harrow<\/strong> have produced a discography of \u201crich, engrossing records\u201d and \u201cinstant classics\u201d while single-mindedly following their own artistic code, acquiescing only to the exigence of the song: each song its own world with its own rules. Their music has been described as \u201c<em>beautifully soaring \u2026 rolling grooves ground languid and dreamy clearwater shimmers of sound<\/em>\u201d. Their latest album, <strong><em>Divided Kind<\/em><\/strong>, is set to continue this legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Our release of the week comes from <strong>Lady Blackbird<\/strong>, who has taken charge of her own life and her own sound and is walking a new path, making each note on <strong><em>Slang Spirituals<\/em><\/strong> a step in a radically different direction. Across 11 tracks Lady Blackbird puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the soulful orchestral fanfares of \u2018Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)\u2019 to the finger-picking folk storytelling of \u2018Man on a Boat\u2019, the euphoric gospel empowerment of \u2018Like a Woman\u2019 and the seven-minute psychedelic soul instrumental of \u2018When the Game Is Played on You\u2019.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs_6\"><a title=\"Lady Blackbird - Slang Spirituals\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/lady-blackbird-slang-spirituals\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Lady Blackbird - Slang Spirituals\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/LadyBlackbird.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Blackbird - Slang Spirituals\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Nick Lowe - Indoor Safari\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/nick-lowe-indoor-safari\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Nick Lowe - Indoor Safari\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/NickLowe.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Lowe - Indoor Safari\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Tindersticks - Soft Tissue\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/tindersticks-soft-tissue\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Tindersticks - Soft Tissue\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/Tindersticks.jpg\" alt=\"Tindersticks - Soft Tissue\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Nil\u00fcfer Yanya - Soft Tissue\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/nilufer-yanya-my-method-actor\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Nil\u00fcfer Yanya - My Method Actor\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/NiluferYanya.jpg\" alt=\"Nil\u00fcfer Yanya - My Method Actor\" \/><\/a><a title=\"London Grammar - The Greatest Love\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/london-grammar-the-greatest-love\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"London Grammar - The Greatest Love\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/LondonGrammar.jpg\" alt=\"London Grammar - The Greatest Love\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Native Harrow - Divided Kind\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/native-harrow-divided-kind\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Native Harrow - Divided Kind\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/240913\/NativeHarrow.jpg\" alt=\"Native Harrow - Divided Kind\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Click on an image to order your copy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first of this week\u2019s gems comes from the iconic Nick Lowe, who returns with his first studio album in over a decade.
