The first of this week\u2019s crackers comes from Barry Can\u2019t Swim<\/strong>, whose rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Following the success of his debut album, When Will We Land?<\/em>, Barry has continued to solidify himself as one of the most exciting names in electronic music today. His hotly anticipated second album, Loner<\/em><\/strong>, is the sound of the summer 2025: uplifting, joyous and addictive.<\/p>\n

Is This What You\u2019ve Been Waiting For?<\/em><\/strong> is the new album from Amy Macdonald<\/strong>, who has achieved huge international success while resolutely doing things her own way. World tours in front of 5 million people, over a billion streams, two #1 albums in the UK, six million album sales and the landmark hit \u2018This Is The Life\u2019, which topped the charts in ten countries and had a TikTok viral resurgence in 2023 with hundreds of thousands of creations bringing her to a new audience. She has cemented her reputation as a female Springsteen with cross-generational and international appeal.<\/p>\n

Before they became Black Sabbath, the Birmingham quartet were known as Earth<\/strong> \u2013 a blues-driven powerhouse already making a name for themselves in the late \u201960s. The Legendary Lost Tapes 1969<\/em><\/strong> presents rare recordings from that era, remastered from long-lost tapes and acetates. Featuring previously unheard tracks, demos and alternative takes, the collection captures Earth\u2019s evolution as they pushed toward the heavy metal sound that would soon change rock music forever.<\/p>\n

Utopia<\/em><\/strong>, the first album that Gwenno<\/strong> has sung predominantly in English after three albums in Welsh and Cornish, presents a very different side to her life and songwriting. On the new album, she focuses on the now, capturing a time of self-determination and experimentation. The songs range from floor-fillers to piano ballads, with contributions from Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favourite Edrica Huws poem and the Number 73 bus. Utopia<\/em> is Gwenno\u2019s finest work to date.<\/p>\n

Poor Creature<\/strong> is Ruth Clinton, Cormac MacDiarmada and John Dermody, (members of Landless and Lankum, respectively), who have built a large following by re-interpreting songs from the past. But Poor Creature\u2019s sound offers something unique: on All Smiles Tonight<\/em><\/strong> there\u2019s the gauzy, underwater, almost psychedelic seams of \u2018Bury Me Not\u2019 and \u2018Adieu Lovely Erin\u2019, while \u2018All Smiles Tonight\u2019 and \u2018Hicks\u2019 Farewell\u2019 nod to the influence of American folk\/bluegrass acts like Doc Watson and the Louvin Brothers.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is moisturizer<\/em><\/strong>, the bold second album from Wet Leg<\/strong>. The band has spent the past few years on the road, evolving into a feral, electrifying live force, and this record captures that energy, delivering a sound that\u2019s tighter, bolder and more self-assured, yet still brimming with the same quick wit and raw, unrefined energy. While their 2022 debut topped charts and earned Grammy wins, moisturizer<\/em> brings the bite: brash guitars, heavy beats and a fearless devotion to feeling everything \u2013 all at once.<\/p>\n
