Here are the week\u2019s hottest new releases! In a changing, unpredictable and turbulent world, something we can always rely on is a new Orb<\/strong> album, with the next holiday-for-the-head never far away. On what is quite possibly the millionth long-player helmed by electronic lifer Alex Paterson, partnered with the now firmly entrenched boy wonder Michael Rendall, the inspirationally productive outfit yet again deliver the goods, with Buddhist Hipsters<\/strong> being one of their best yet.<\/p>\n

Twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Madi Diaz <\/strong>is known for searing explorations of romance and has created her most powerful statement so far with Fatal Optimist<\/em><\/strong>. Madi and producer Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, Zach Bryan) set out to strip these songs back, relying on her pure performance and writing. The result is a classic and timeless indie-folk album.<\/p>\n

On their new album, The Besnard Lakes are the Ghost Nation<\/em><\/strong>, the Montreal band add a lightness and optimism to their post-rock psych. Unique among their furrow-browed peers, The Besnard Lakes<\/strong> are unafraid to marry textured, questing headphone sonics to the honeyed pleasure of radio hits past: the rapture of My Bloody Valentine entwined with the romance of Fleetwood Mac. Imagine dreamy Beach House pop riding Led Zeppelin dynamics with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies: a melodic yet mountainous sound world.<\/p>\n

Dropkick Murphys<\/strong>\u2019 new album shows courage and confidence, speaking up against the injustices happening in the United States and doing so with a strength and power that harks back to their earliest punk-rock roots. For the People<\/em><\/strong> is more than a title: it\u2019s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is, and who they\u2019ve always been. It\u2019s an expression of humanity at a time of relentless dehumanisation; a promise of hope in an era fuelled by fear-mongering; a declaration of solidarity in an age of disunion; a defiant rebuttal to the charlatans and demagogues who seek to divide us for their own power.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Public Works and Utilities<\/em><\/strong>, the sixth album from Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan<\/strong>, which continues to explore the demise of the post-war consensus. This time Gordon Chapman-Fox\u2019s gaze falls on our public services that have been starved of cash or privatised since 1980. His anger continues to power his desire to make Warrington-Runcorn a statement for the here and now, rather than an exercise in rose-tinted nostalgia. The People Matter, as side two\u2019s sole track attests.<\/p>\n
