Releases for 26 June 2026
- Muse The WOW! Signal
- The Devon trio return! Their run of albums from Showbiz through to Black Holes & Revelations is excellent. The tracks available so far from the new album sound great, and I’m looking forward to hearing it in full.
- Lunatic Soul Transition II
- The solo project of Mariusz Duda, previously the main man behind Polish prog band Riverside, is more instrumental – in places ambient, in places folky, in places rock – and very much influenced by Mike Oldfield. The epic title track has been condensed down to 23 mins from 28 mins to fit on a side of vinyl. I love Lunatic Soul – you should too.
- Beth Orton The Ground Above
- If the three tracks available now are anything to go by, this will be played a lot in the shop. Great vocals and top-notch song-writing.
- Matt Berry Trio Everything’s Peachy
- The second release in Acid Jazz Records’ Jazz Sessions series sees actor and musician Matt Berry in a jazz trio. If you have heard any of Matt’s previous music, which often features in his programmes, you’ll be familiar with his sound. It’s got a laid-back jazz groove that I’m liking.
- Fluke The Second Bite
- A reimagining of previous tracks by electronic pioneers Fluke, who have remixed the likes of Björk, Talk Talk, New Order and The Rolling Stones.
- Air Pocket Symphony
- You may be surprised to hear that Air are one of my favourite bands. Moon Safari is a top ten album for me. This is their fifth album finally getting a reissue, and it’s full of their usual gorgeous chilled electronic and gentle guitar sounds – cinematic in feel. It even has a guest vocal from Jarvis Cocker, and makes you feel relaxed and good about things. Buy it!
Releases for 19 June 2026
- The Hanging Stars Just a Day
- A summery sound featuring harmonies and chiming 12-string guitars, and full of well crafted pop songs.
- Joe Bonamassa The Spirit of Rory – Live from Cork
- Current blues maestro does late blues maestro in his home town. One of my good friends attended all 3 nights and had a wonderful time.
- Graham Coxon Castle Park
- Occasional member and songwriter with Duran Duran releases an album of material from 2011, unreleased until now. Guess you could say it’s all a ‘blur’ after this time. I’ve already got my coat.
- Hard-Fi Sweating Somebody Else’s Fever
- First new album in 15 years from the indie rockers. I’m liking the three tracks currently available.
- Pye Corner Audio More Songs About the Sun
- Excellent blissed-out electronic / guitar tunes, featuring appearances from Andy Bell (Ride, Oasis) and author Ian Rankin.
- Placebo Placebo RE:CREATED
- For its 30th anniversary, their self-titled debut it has been revisited and, as the title says, re:created by the band. ‘Nancy Boy’ is still a banger of a tune.
Releases for 12 June 2026
- Angine de Poitrine Vol. II
- Do you like bonkers-looking bands and music featuring microtonal guitar tunings and weird time signatures (think King Crimson or even King Gizzard)? You do? I certainly do! Then this is for you. Having recently taken the internet by storm they release their second album, with their first being reissued on the same day. Is it prog? Is it art rock? Is it in fact shite? You decide.
- Embrace Avalanche
- 30 years into their career, Embrace release a new album. 30 years is good going. I liked one of their songs from 30 years ago.
- Mono Snowdrop
- The band don’t particularly like the ‘post-rock’ label, but in spite of that this is essentially instrumental post-rock with an added orchestra. The two tracks released so far are very good.
- Yes Aurora
- I flipping love Yes, but I stopped listening to them after Jon Anderson was hoofed out. Several of their albums are, however, utterly essential so this goes on the list because of that legacy. Also Steve Howe is still around.
- Olivia Rodrigo You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love
- From what I saw of her Glastonbury set last year, Miss Rodrigo knows her way around a song. She had a great band around her and then there was Robert Smith, so she gets included this week. Will definitely be popular.
- Look Outside Your Window Look Outside Your Window
- Four members of Slipknot started knocking songs together in between recording a Slipknot album in 2008. This was not a Slipknot album and never saw the light of day until this year’s RSD. It was hugely popular on the day, with horror stories of it fetching up to 10 times its retail price. Now it has a general release you can see for yourself if it was worth the wait.
Releases for 5 June 2026
- Slift Fantasia
- Bonkers psychedelic rock from France. Their album Ummon is essential.
- Jalen Ngonda Doctrine of Love
- Pop sensibilities and a soulful groove.
- Pink Floyd 8-Tracks
- Essential tracks from Pink Floyd’s 1971–79 catalogue, with added Steven Wilson sprinkled over it. Who wouldn’t want that?
- Death Cab for Cutie I Built You a Tower
- 11th album from the revered indie band.
- Ryan Adams The Suicide Handbook
- Legendary bootleg album finally gets an official release.
- Niall Horan Dinner Party
- All I’ve got is that he’s Harry Styles’ mate, and bound to be popular!
Releases for 29 May 2026
- Devin Townsend The Moth
- To say I am excited about this is a massive understatement. The man is a genius as far as I am concerned. Expect all sorts for this one, he has been working towards this for a long time. Cannot wait.
- Paul McCartney The Boys of Dungeon Lane
- The living legend reflects on pre-Beatles memories.
- Elder Through Zero
- Excellent psychedelic rock from the Berlin-based band. Highly recommended.
- Boards of Canada Inferno
- First album in 13 years from the electronic pioneers. There’s a bit of a buzz surrounding this one.
- All Them Witches House of Mirrors
- Psychedelic blues rock. That sounds ok to me!
- Shinedown Ei8ht
- They write great songs and always put on a great show. Alix loves them so they are included.
Releases for 15 May 2026
- Bruce Soord Ghosts in the Park
- Written while touring with The Pineapple Thief, this reflects on loss, memory and the quiet spaces that reveal themselves when life continues to move while everything else appears to stop.
- Peter Frampton Carry the Light
- 50 years since Frampton Comes Alive, the legendary song-writer and guitar god releases his first album of original songs in 16 years.
- Crown Lands Apocalypse
- Crafted with the classic album format in mind as a complete two-sided narrative experience, with a sprawling 19-minute epic at its heart.
- Dove Ellis Blizzard
- The striking debut by the young Irish balladeer is heavy on the drama, letting moments of anthemic beauty peak through his cryptic delivery.
- Port Noir The Dark We Keep
- Port Noir tease a more aggressive, intense sound, with their signature blend of alternative metal and progressive influences pushed to new extremes.
- Jasmine Myra Where Light Settles
- Nine beautiful, powerfully grounded ruminations on life, growth and progression, powered by those bittersweet moments that are heart-breaking but so important.
Releases for 8 May 2026
- Aldous Harding Train on the Island
- Co-produced by long-time collaborator John Parish at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth and featuring Joe Harvey-Whyte, Mali Llywelyn, Thomas Poli, Seb Rochford and Huw Evans.
- Submotion Orchestra Passed Me By
- A journey into memory, creativity and the passing of time that shows the band continuing to push their signature electronic sound forward to some of the boldest and most emotional territory of their career.
- Brother Wallace Electric Love
- Less a debut than a revelation, fuelled by gospel roots and classic soul lineage while avoiding nostalgia: heartbreak without defeat, joy without naïveté, vulnerability without apology.
- Midge Ure A Man of Two Worlds
- A formidable collection of outstanding music consisting of eight instrumental pieces and eight vocal songs, partly inspired by Midge’s time listening to instrumental music during lockdown.
- Hurray for the Riff Raff Live Forever
- Captured live over the course of two sold-out summer nights in Chicago, with a set including a selection of the band’s show-stopping, set-defining staples.
- Caterina Barbieri & Bendik Giske At Source
- A self-contained collaboration by two acclaimed musicians between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound.
Releases for 1 May 2026
- The Black Keys Peaches!
- The Akron duo’s 14th studio album is a visceral and raw 10-song collection recorded in a similar DIY spirit to their 2002 debut, with all musicians playing in the same room with few overdubs.
- Cage Fight Exuvia
- This is my personal highlight of the week: heavy, full of riffs, brutal in places and featuring the extraordinary death vocals of Rachel Aspe, which challenge any of the genre’s male vocalists.
- Tori Amos In Time of Dragons
- A metaphorical story about the current abhorrent non-accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’.
- Kacey Musgraves Middle of Nowhere
- Fresh yet familiar, this is classically Kacey: humorous takes on the human condition that are honest, fearless, immersive, and always ready to wink at life’s twists and turns.
- Jesca Hoop Long Wave Home
- Staying true to her folk roots, though never purely, Hoop delivers strikingly original songwriting – her innovative vocals augmented by imaginative arrangements.
- Claypool Lennon Delirium The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy
- This elaborate concept record reflects on morality, the dangers of AI and the slippery slope of optimisation without empathy, and simply oozes classic psych/prog stylings.
