Krauss is a 27-time Grammy winner who was inducted into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2021. The band now make their long-awaited return with <strong><em>Arcadia<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 their first album since the critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award-winning 2011 masterpiece <em>Paper Airplane<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dreams on Toast<\/em><\/strong> marks a bold new chapter for <strong>The Darkness<\/strong>. With their signature blend of flamboyant rock anthems and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, this album cements the band\u2019s place at the pinnacle of British rock. Expect soaring guitar riffs, infectious hooks and a nostalgic yet fresh take on the genre that will resonate with long-time fans and new listeners alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Wherever You Are<\/em><\/strong> is a new solo piano album composed and performed by <strong>John Foxx<\/strong>. Most of the recordings were made at Foxx\u2019s home in the early hours in the weeks following his rare live performance at Kings Place, London in October 2023 as part of the BBC Radio 3 \u2019Night Tracks\u2019 event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lucy Dacus<\/strong>, widely regarded as one of the best songwriters of her generation, returns with <strong><em>Forever Is a Feeling<\/em><\/strong>. Following a career-defining run with boygenius that earned her three Grammy Awards, her fourth solo studio album explores falling in and out of love, the tumult of desire and larger-than-life romance. Across 13 tracks that range from lush arrangements to simple declarations, Dacus makes a serious inquiry into what it looks like to dedicate one\u2019s life to true love, and a valiant attempt to capture the elusive, fleeting feeling of forever.<\/p>\n<p>Grammy and Brit award winners <strong>Mumford &amp; Sons<\/strong> return with their fifth studio album, <strong><em>Rushmere<\/em><\/strong>. The 10-track album is a triumphant return to form, with upbeat foot-stompers \u2018Rushmere\u2019, \u2018Truth\u2019 and \u2018Caroline\u2019 alongside tender ballads such as \u2018Monochrome\u2019 and \u2018Where It Belongs\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Our release of the week comes from three of the most renowned and respected musicians of their generation: Norman Blake the centrifugal force in Teenage Fanclub; Bernard Butler renowned for his solo work and ouput with Suede and McAlmont Butler; and James Grant for his work both solo and with Love and Money. Following a handful of hugely well received shows in which the trio performed a selection of each other\u2019s songs, the collective reconvened to write new material together. The result is an errant joy: each of the guys taking vocal turns with simpatico input from their co-players. <strong><em>Butler, Blake &amp; Grant<\/em><\/strong> oozes with natural camaraderie and beautifully crafted tunes, filled with melody, harmony and impeccable guitar chops.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs_6\"><a title=\"Butler, Blake &amp; Grant - \" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/butler-blake-grant-butler-blake-grant\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Butler, Blake &amp; Grant - Butler, Blake &amp; Grant\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/ButlerBlakeGrant.jpg\" alt=\"Butler, Blake &amp; Grant - Butler, Blake &amp; Grant\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station - Arcadia\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/alison-krauss-union-station-arcadia\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station - Arcadia\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/AlisonKraussUnionStation.jpg\" alt=\"Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station - Arcadia\" \/><\/a><a title=\"The Darkness - Dreams on Toast\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/darkness-the-dreams-on-toast\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"The Darkness - Dreams on Toast\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/Darkness.jpg\" alt=\"The Darkness - Dreams on Toast\" \/><\/a><a title=\"John Foxx - Wherever You Are\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/john-foxx-wherever-you-are\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"John Foxx - Wherever You Are\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/JohnFoxx.jpg\" alt=\"John Foxx - Wherever You Are\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Lucy Dacus - Forever Is a Feeling\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/lucy-dacus-forever-is-a-feeling\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Lucy Dacus - Forever Is a Feeling\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/LucyDacus.jpg\" alt=\"Lucy Dacus - Forever Is a Feeling\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Mumford &amp; Sons - Rushmere\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/mumford-sons-rushmere\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover3 alignnone\" title=\"Mumford &amp; Sons - Rushmere\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/250328\/MumfordSons.jpg\" alt=\"Mumford &amp; Sons - Rushmere\" \/><\/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 our magical musical moments for this week comes from Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station, who are known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock &amp; roll and pop.
