Interpol – Marauder
Release date: 24 August
- For the first time since 2007’s Our Love To Admire, Interpol have opened themselves up to the input of a producer. For two-week spells between December 2017 and April 2018, they travelled to upstate New York to work with Dave Fridmann – famed for his work with Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, MGMT, Spoon, Mogwai, and countless more – to record Marauder.
- In the run-up to writing and recording, drummer Sam Fogarino found himself immersed in soul drummers such as Al Jackson Jr (Otis Redding’s drummer) and ’80s funk producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. “How can I make shit swing?” was the question Sam repeatedly asked himself, and the answer is in the striding gallop of opener ‘If You Really Love Nothing’, the embellished skip ’n’ bounce of ‘Stay in Touch’ and the R&B swagger of closer ‘It Probably Matters’. Interpol have always been world-beaters at creating a feeling, but Marauder is where the feel is just as crucial.
- Paul Banks may have stepped out of the shadows as bassist and singer, but he’s stepping into an even brighter light as a songwriter. On Interpol’s previous albums, he largely kept himself out of his own work, preferring to fill his lyrics with detached thoughts, characters, and observations, often phrased in abstract. But more than 20 years on since forming the band at NYU, the frontman is finally allowing himself to play a role in his own stories.
- “This record is where I feel touching on real things that have happened to me are exciting and evocative to write about,” he explains. “I think in the past, I always felt autobiography was too small a thing for me to reference. I feel like now, I’m able to romanticize parts of my own life.”
- Note: the LP is available on indies-only cream vinyl.

White Denim – Performance
Release date: 24 August
- Performance is the new album from White Denim, a band who have long pulled hard at the parameters of rock & roll, admitting garage punk, soul, psychedelia, prog, jazz and blues while holding onto its vital good-time core. Their up-tempo drive has produced a body of work defined as much by stellar musicianship as off-the-chain exhilaration. Energy and adventurism have always been paramount. There is no other band quite like White Denim – unique in talent and legendarily potent as a live band, they are quite simply a very special band.

Oh Sees – Smote Reverser
Release date: 17 August
- Crack the coffers, Oh Sees have spawned another frothy album of head-destroying psych-epics to rock out to. Notice the fresh dollop of organ and keyboard prowess while the twin drum-corps polyrhythmic pulse continues to astound and pound in equal measure, buttressed by the nimble-fingered shred-heaven fret-frying of John Dwyer, there’s a fresh heavy-prog vibe that fits like a worn-in jean jacket comfortably among hairpin metal turns and the familiar but no less horns-worthy guitar fireworks that Dwyer has made his calling card. Perhaps the most notable thing about Smote Reverser is the artistic restlessness underpinning its flights of fancy. Dwyer refuses to repeat himself and for someone with such a hectic release schedule, that stretching of aesthetic borders and omnivorous appetite seems all the more superhuman!
- Note: the LP is an exclusive indies-only version.

- Note: the deluxe LP version is exclusive to indy shops.

Ólafur Arnalds – Re:member
Release date: 24 August
- Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds returns with his new album, Re:member, recorded using his pioneering Stratus software that operates two self-playing semi-generative player pianos. Mixing the opposing forces of a sweaty dance-floor and the icy ocean, the video sits perfectly alongside the track’s subtle power; twinkly piano sits behind forceful thuds of strings and rises and falls with ease. “This is my breaking-out-of-a-shell album,” Arnalds says of the album. “It’s me taking the raw influences that I have from all these different musical genres and not filtering them. It explores the creative process and how one can manipulate that to get out of the circle of expectations and habit.”

Spiritualized – And Nothing Hurt
Release date: 7 September
- And Nothing Hurt is the eighth album from Spiritualized, the follow up to 2012’s Sweet Heart, Sweet Light. From the opening lullaby of ‘A Perfect Miracle’ through to the fading Morse code at the close of ‘Sail On Through’, it painstakingly wraps layer upon layer of gloriously transcendent sound together to create a mesmerizing and cinematic collection of songs.
- For the listener, the nine tracks on And Nothing Hurt effortlessly replicate the scale and power of Spiritualized’s previous releases, whether it’s the sonic blowback of ‘On The Sunshine’, the last dime in the jukebox love letter of ‘Let’s Dance’ or the swell of an imaginary orchestra that seems to lift ‘Damaged’ towards the heavens as it plays out.
- Note: The LP is available on indies-only white vinyl. The LP in the deluxe box set is on limited orange vinyl, and comes with a 24-page saddle-stitched book.

Low – Double Negative
Release date: 14 September
- Low turns twenty-five in 2018. Since 1993, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker – the married couple whose heaven-and-earth harmonies have always held the band’s centre – have pioneered a subgenre, shrugged off its strictures, recorded a Christmas classic, become a magnetic onstage force and emerged as one of music’s most steadfast and vital vehicles for pulling light from our darkest emotional recesses. But Low will not commemorate its first quarter-century with mawkish nostalgia or safe runs through songbook favourites. Instead, in faithfully defiant fashion, the duo releases its most brazen, abrasive (and, paradoxically, most empowering) album ever: Double Negative, an unflinching eleven-song quest through snarling static and shattering beats that somehow culminates in the brightest pop song of Low’s career.
- Double Negative is, indeed, a record perfectly and painfully suited for our time. Loud and contentious and commanding, Low fights for the world by fighting against it. It begins in pure bedlam, with a beat built from a loop of ruptured noise waging war against the paired voices of Sparhawk and Parker the moment they begin to sing during the massive ‘Quorum’. For forty minutes, they indulge the battle, trying to be heard amid the noisy grain, sometimes winning and sometimes being tossed toward oblivion. In spite of the mounting noise, Sparhawk and Parker still sing. Or maybe they sing because of the noise. For Low, has there ever really been a difference?
- Note: The LP is available on indies-only crystal clear vinyl.

Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains The Same
Release date: 7 September
- Led Zeppelin was at the peak of its powers on when the band’s performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden 27–29 July 1973 were recorded for the concert film, The Song Remains The Same. The soundtrack to the film, produced by Jimmy Page, was originally released on Swan Song in 1976.
- This reissue features newly remastered audio. On the 4-LP set, Page made a change to the track sequence, allowing the epic, 29-minute version of ‘Dazed And Confused’ to be featured in its entirety on one side of vinyl for the first time.

Paul Weller – True Meanings
Release date: 14 September
- Put simply, True Meanings, the fourteenth solo album from Paul Weller and the twenty-sixth studio album of his career, is a record unlike any he has ever made before. This is an album characterised by grandiose yet lush, delicate orchestration: an aesthetic to which Paul’s voice, never sounding better and singing some of his most nakedly honest words, is perfectly suited. It’s a dreamy, peaceful, pastoral set of songs to get lost in, both an album that a lot of his faithful audience have been wanting him to make for a long time and an album that many new people outside that audience will relate to.
- On 25 May this year, Paul Weller turned 60: a milestone that has unquestionably had an impact on the feel, both lyrically and musically, of True Meanings. This comes across in the most singer-songwriter-style album he has ever made. However, it is also the most collaborative, with more guests than any record he’s been involved in before: as well as all the members of Weller’s band, featured guests include Rod Argent of The Zombies, folk legends Martin Carthy and Danny Thompson, Little Barrie, Lucy Rose and Tom Doyle of the White Label project. Even Noel Gallagher makes a sneaky appearance!
- Perhaps most surprisingly of all, especially given how personal and introspective True Meanings feels, lyrics for four of the fourteen songs here were written, to Weller’s melodies, by others. Connor O’Brien from Villagers came up with the words to opener ‘The Soul Searchers’, while ‘Bowie’, ‘Wishing Well’ and the closing ‘White Horses’ are all the work, lyrically, of Erland Cooper from Erland & The Carnival.
- The limited, deluxe edition CD is housed in a case-bound book package and includes a 28-page booklet of photos and lyrics.

Elvis Costello And The Imposters – Look Now
Release date: 12 October
- Elvis Costello And The Imposters have made a sensational new album that ranks alongside the best work this singular artist has ever produced.
- Look Now is beautiful in its simplicity, reflective in its lyrical vision, surrounded by melodies and orchestrations that are nothing short of heavenly. It’s the first album Costello has made with The Imposters since 2008’s Momofuku and his first new album of any sort since 2013’s acclaimed Wise Up Ghost.
- During the ‘Imperial Bedroom & Other Chambers’ tour of the USA last summer, Costello realised that the power and sheer musicality of The Imposters had never really been fully captured on one record. It was time for them to return to the studio.
- “I knew if we could make an album with the scope of Imperial Bedroom and some of the beauty and emotion of Painted From Memory, we would really have something,” said Costello. Look Now is an outstanding addition to his song catalogue.
