This week\u2019s six scorchers start with Special Powers<\/em><\/strong>, the fifth studio album from North Sea Radio Orchestra<\/strong> (NSRO), which features a mix of songs and instrumentals both large and small from the psych\/chamber\/folk\/pop world that bandleader Craig Fortnam has lived in for a while now. There is a strong emphasis on melody and chord combined with a clear rhythmic sense, a mixed palette of guitars, strings, wind, various keyboard instruments and percussion.<\/p>\n

On The Party Is Over<\/em><\/strong>, the follow-up to 2024\u2019s acclaimed Obsessed<\/em>, Morgan Wade<\/strong> continues the intense exploration of her psyche\u2019s recesses. As ever, the results are thrilling. The album\u2019s title track is a crashing anthem about attraction that lingers long after the intoxicants wear off, while lead single \u2018East Coast\u2019 takes those fixations to an extreme in its depiction of a relationship that pushes someone to the edge.<\/p>\n

Richard Hawley<\/strong>\u2019s widely revered 2005 album, Coles Corner<\/em><\/strong>, gets a special half-speed master edition for its 20th anniversary. Coles Corner<\/em> was Hawley\u2019s third studio album and his first for Mute Records. After five years of garnering praise for his songwriting talents and heart-melting baritone voice, and steadily building a solid fan base through his outstanding live performances, hard work paid off on an album regarded by many as his best.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9e Rapp<\/strong>\u2019s latest album, Bite Me<\/em><\/strong>, encourages listeners to embrace every facet of their personality, the chaotic and the confident, and to be authentically, unapologetically themselves. It\u2019s a raw, unfiltered, vulnerable album about self-acceptance in its truest form, and \u2013 like Rapp herself \u2013 it creates a community for unfiltered self-expression.<\/p>\n

At 24, Texas songwriter Travis Roberts <\/strong>has already battled addiction, buried friends and been homeless. It should be no surprise, then, that he comes out swinging on his blistering debut, Rebel Rose<\/em><\/strong>, which blurs the lines between roots, punk, folk and power pop. The writing is visceral and the performances are nothing short of explosive, propelled by a relentless rhythm section, searing guitars and infectious melodic hooks.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is the 25th anniversary pressing of Glastonbury 2000<\/em><\/strong>, which documents the full 21-song set of David Bowie<\/strong>\u2019s legendary Sunday-night headline performance at the most famous festival on Earth, including many of his greatest hits. The sleeve features a photo of Bowie dressed in a frock coat designed by Alexander McQueen with a pattern echoing the famous \u2018bipperty-bopperty hat\u2019 worn by David at his Glastonbury Fayre debut in 1971.<\/p>\n

There are also reissues from Sabres of Paradise<\/a>, Shaboozey<\/a>, Elvis Presley<\/a>, Buddy Guy<\/a> and Anathema<\/a>, plus a live 4-LP, 2-CD and Blu-ray from sometime Romsey boy Roger Waters<\/a>!<\/p>\n
