Now the summer holidays are over, the release schedule has picked up and there\u2019s a huge number of releases coming out on 5th September<\/strong>. Click here for the full list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our pick of the bunch starts with Chosen<\/em><\/strong>, the latest album from Glenn Hughes<\/strong>, who rose to fame in the early 1970s with the band Trapeze before joining Deep Purple in 1973. He later launched a prolific solo run and formed several notable bands, including Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa), California Breed and The Dead Daisies. Chosen<\/em> is a hard-hitting album that presents him at his most explosive and inspired. Produced by longtime collaborator S\u00f8ren Andersen, it is a masterclass in powerful songwriting and production. This is Glenn Hughes at the peak of his craft: bold, loud and unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Saint Etienne<\/strong>\u2019s new album, International<\/em><\/strong>, is the group\u2019s final album-length statement after a 35-year excursion through pop. A dreamlike drift with friends and collaborators, International<\/em> features cameos from the higher echelons of pop \u2013 from Vince Clarke to Nick Heyward, Confidence Man to Erol Alkan, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Doves and Xenomania. Saint Etienne are the \u201990s band who never left us, never imploded and never adhered to clich\u00e9d excess. They are a testament to getting along, getting on with creating something new \u2013 and, of course, getting away with it.<\/p>\n

Cutthroat<\/em><\/strong> is Shame<\/strong> at their blistering best: an unapologetic album that\u2019s souped-up and supercharged. It\u2019s exactly where you want Shame to be, with ambitious sonic ideas and the technical chops to execute them. Stamped throughout with Shame\u2019s trademark sense of humour, the album takes on the big issues of today and gleefully toys with them \u2013 casting a merciless eye on themes of conflict and corruption, hunger and desire, lust, envy and the omnipresent shadow of cowardice. Musically, too, the record plays with visceral new ideas: electronic loops made on tour for fun have found their place on the album. Cutthroat<\/em> shows with a resounding flourish that, right now, Shame have never sounded better.<\/p>\n

Who Is the Sky?<\/em><\/strong>, the first new album from David Byrne<\/strong> since 2018\u2019s acclaimed and award-winning American Utopia<\/em>, incluldes contributions from musical friends old and new, including St. Vincent, Paramore\u2019s Hayley Williams, drummer Tom Skinner (The Smile) and percussionist Mauro Refoscow. The album was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus) and features intimate orchestral arrangement by members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Double Infinity<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the follow-up to 2022\u2019s Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You<\/em> \u2013 was recorded last winter at the Power Station, New York City. For three solid weeks, Big Thief<\/strong> rode bicycles along frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power\u2019s Station\u2019s warm wood-panelled room, where they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together \u2013 simultaneously \u2013 improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Antidepressants<\/em><\/strong>, a milestone achievement that sees Suede<\/strong> at the top of their game, translating their approach to playing in front of a live audience directly into this recording. \u201cIf Autofiction was our punk record, Antidepressants is our post-punk record,<\/em>\u201d says frontman Brett Anderson. \u201cIt\u2019s about the tensions of modern life, the paranoia, the anxiety, the neurosis. We are all striving for connection in a disconnected world. This was the feel I wanted the songs to have. This is broken music for broken people.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
