Latest new releases
The first of 22 March’s sublime 6 comes from Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee, whose Tigers Blood is a confident album of lush alt-tinged country, her voice honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting: determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell whoever will listen. Julia Holter’s sixth album, Something in the Room She Moves, takes its inspiration from the complexity and transformability of our bodies: it’s fluid-sounding, evoking the body’s internal sound world with gliding vocal melodies, glissing synth lines and warm winds and reeds. In 2022, Big Thief frontwoman Adrianne Lenker took a risk by inviting three musicians who didn’t know each other to record with her, and the magical result became Bright Future, a 12-track telling of a journeyed heart. Aoife O’Donovan’s latest, All My Friends, is a set of songs looking at women’s suffrage, and the sonic soundscape – expansive orchestral arrangements, choral vocals and a variety of instruments – is beyond anything she has done in the past. Glasgow Eyes marks 40 years of The Jesus And Mary Chain, their maelstrom of melody, feedback and controlled chaos now informed more audibly by their love for Suicide and Kraftwerk and the less disciplined attitudes found in jazz – but don’t worry, this isn’t ‘the Mary Chain goes jazz’!
Our release of the week is Elbow’s tenth studio album, Audio Vertigo, which marks a significant step change for the group: built from “gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garagy rooms”, it’s both more direct and more sonically varied than its predecessor.

The first of 15 March’s smashers is Deeper Well, the fifth album from six-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves, whose chimeric music features rolling acoustic guitars, puffy clouds of strings and synth, warm bass punctuations, layered harmonies and moments of Celtic melody complement Musgraves’ silvery vocals. In just six days and “without overthinking anything,” Noah Kahan completed the five-track Cape Elizabeth EP, which amassed 200m streams and now gets its first physical release as Noah’s thank-you to his loyal fans. Blue Electric Light, the latest studio album by Lenny Kravitz, is an impassioned suite of songs that is timeless, explosive, romantic and inspiring and a testament to the talent of the man. The cheekiest band in the land, The Dandy Warhols, return with Rockmaker, adding a sprinkle of glitter on their grime with guests Debbie Harry, Slash and Pixies’ Frank Black: the dance grooves go deeper, heady drones get weirder and riffage fit for bong rips hammers. Black Uhuru’s killer all-star 1986 album Brutal gets a welcome reissue – its first ever on vinyl – and has been specially remastered for both vinyl and CD to give this legendary album even more sparkle.
Our release of the week is Happiness Bastards, the new album from The Black Crowes, which was several tumultuous years in the making but is arriving at just the right time, and this highly anticipated record is bare-boned rock’n’roll: no gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at it’s very best – gritty, loud, and in your face.
