The first of this week\u2019s bangers is Exploding Trees and Airplane Screams<\/em><\/strong>, the first solo record in over a decade from Patterson Hood<\/strong>. The album was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and, during Hood\u2019s solo tours, made tentative plans to one day make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano, marking a bigger departure from Hood\u2019s work with Drive-By Truckers than his prior solo efforts. There are guest appearances from Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless.<\/p>\n

Killswitch Engage<\/strong> is celebrating an astonishing 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the \u201900s. The band continues its incredible legacy by unleashing This Consequence<\/em><\/strong>, a masterfully executed record that captures the band\u2019s signature sound while levelling up on teeth-baring tracks like \u2018Forever Aligned\u2019, \u2018I Believe\u2019 and \u2018Collusion\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Fried, Julian Cope<\/strong>, has brung forth 12 brand-new humdingers on Friar Tuck<\/em><\/strong>: all hummable and lyrically compelling and replete with wah-acoustic guitars and beautiful orchestrations of Mellotron 400 from Liverpool\u2019s Blondest. So inhale the garage-fuzz dub of \u2018R in the Hood\u2019, the mantric powerdrive of \u2018Four Jehovahs in a Volvo Estate\u2019, the sentimental Pete Burns lamentations of \u2018In Spungent Mansions\u2019 \u2026 and who could resist the affectionate micro-trolling of \u2018Will Sergeant\u2019s Blues\u2019?<\/p>\n

The eponymous 11-song album Motorpsycho<\/em><\/strong> has exactly as much variety and diversity, accord and discord as you\u2019d expect from a band that these days must be regarded as an institution in European rock. From concise 3-minute pop-rockers to 20-minute-plus progressive epics via acoustic intimacies and psychedelic wig-outs, this is concentrated Motorpsychosis: commenced Rebis, countdown initiated. Ever closer \u2026 ever sharper \u2026<\/p>\n

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Oasi<\/strong>s<\/strong>\u2019s seminal single Whatever<\/em><\/strong> is being reissued as a limited-edition numbered 7″ pressed on pink-and-blue splatter vinyl and featuring remastered audio of the classic song paired with its original B-side, \u2018(It\u2019s Good) to Be Free\u2019.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is People Watching<\/em><\/strong>, the third studio album from this year\u2019s RSD ambassador, Sam Fender<\/strong>. The album was written over the last 3 years and recorded in London and LA, co-produced by Sam alongside Marcus Dravs and The War on Drugs\u2019 Adam Grancuciel.<\/p>\n
