ACR:EPR (limited grey vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: 12MUTE 633. Rel: 13 Aug 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: Let's face facts, the trilogy of releases that ACR:EPR completes have helped win over a new generation of fans for the band while reassuring established followers that A Certain Ratio can still do the business. They've been heartfelt and honest, truly innovative and - when all is said and done, at some point in the near future - destined to be considered collector's items.
The final chapter is certainly winding things up triumphantly. '$ouls In The City' seems to go straight for the mind's eye, an enrapturing track that chugs its way through layers of funk groove, with acid details just about audible on top. 'Night People' is a far more sticky, treacly affair, while 'Big Boy Pants' ushers in a kind of nocturnal seduction, brass and rolling breakbeats setting the scene perfectly for the ska-infused melodies of 'Downtime Vibes' that follow.

Review: The album 1982 stands out as one of the finest moments in A Certain Ratio's story. When you're talking about a band that started half a decade before the year 1982, that's saying something. Following on from the landmark ACR Loco, the outfit's 2023 record is packed with multidimensionality - dipping toes into everything from gritty post punk (a sound from whence they first came) to Afrobeat, all realised with exceptional attention to detail and the highest possible standards. 2023 EP, as the title suggests, builds on the impact of that latest long-from release. Opening on the jazzy late night club workout 'Day By Day', a brand new number, the package then jumps into work from the aforementioned LP, redone by contemporary dons. So that's Werkha on a stepping, garage-hued version of 'SAMO', Emperor Machine emphasising the exotic disco grooves of 'Constant Curve', and Jade Parker offering a highly percussive cosmic take on 'Waiting On A Train'.

Review: Soon to be followed by two more from the mighty Ratio - ACR:EPC and ACR:EPR - EPA is the opening chapter in a triptych born from nothing. Or at least no fixed plan or specific agenda. A day spent jamming in the studio with close friend of the band and regular vocal collaborator, Denise Johnson, the recordings here and on the pair still to come represent the work they did that day, shortly before the world lost the woman in question forever.
Passing away in July 2020, well before her time, this is ACR paying tribute to another integral part of the Manchester music Factory. From the hypnotic and woozy 'Wonderland', where Donna Summer meets acid jazz, to the more straight-laced disco material - delivered with an edge you'd expect in terms of instrumentation and vocals - EPA is a fitting way to honour her legacy.

Review: RECOMMENDED
Anyone could be forgiven for already tiring of the 'recorded during the pandemic' back story, but our money is on the fact we've barely scratched the surface of what was and still is being made in and among isolation, paranoia, and social awkwardness. In this case, though, the setting is relevant for more reasons than lyrical themes and catalysts alone, with A Mountain of One managing to record this latest track over Skype, Mo Morris checking in from Bali and Zeben Jameson in London.
The process is as unique as the track itself, which is all we ever expected from A Mountain. It's melodic without being twee, adventurous without running off into such obscure soundscapes the listener is left wondering about their taxi home. It's half standing in the electronic ultra world outfits like The Orb took us to, and yet firmly placed in the live alt-rock-pop-whatever realm. It's special stuff.

Bridge To Quiet EP (heavyweight vinyl 12" + MP3 download code)
Cat: RUG 1170T. Rel: 05 Feb 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: The traditional album and EP formats have been on the wane for many years now - we don't consume music in the same was as we once did, that's for true. But in the era of quarantines, forgetting what month it is (let alone the day), and endless attempts to stay entertained, those frameworks make even less sense. Or at least that's what Animal Collective seem to think.
So while this can be filed under Extended Play, it's actually a more complex work befitting out time. Wildly experimental, think a jam session painted in psychedelic hues, where rhythms and ideas converge in a strange, thick soup-like arrangement that evolves, reinvents itself and - perhaps most importantly - keeps ears glued to the speaker for its duration. You'll need to go a long way to find a better source of aural pleasure right now.

Coldwave/Synth
Review: The story of this one revolves around San Diego native Anthony "Antone" Williams. He was one day alone in a studio, messing about with the gear and before he knew he it lay down the haunting rhythm that underpins the tune now presented here by the good folks at Athens of the North. It's a sinister, restless one that got released as a hugely limited 7" on Unity Records with otherworldly soul production and a pained vocal up top. Post punk soul, some call it, and that's a fitting descriptor. A remix appears on the flip but the allure of the original is hard to beat.

Review: Arlo Parks is now a hugely successful indie artist with many great tunes to her name. One of them came back in 2019 in the form of her Cola EP back when she was just 18 years old. It showcased her smoky, soulful and mournful vocal skills with gentle guitar accoutrements and plenty of dusty vinyl crackle for added authenticity. That title tune is here in all its tender glory while on the flip is 'George' which is yet another standout single that has slightly more upbeat lyrics and prouder production. What a talent she is.

Judge Jury & Executioner
SAD
Review: By now, you should all know the story of Atoms for Peace, the new all-star leftfield rock outfit founded by Thom Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. Amok is the five-piece's full-length debut, following a couple of well-received singles on XL and 50 Weapons. While there are obvious similarities with the path Radiohead have taken over recent years - curious beats influenced by dubstep and IDM, haunting soundscapes and intoxicating compositions - there's far greater warmth and vibrancy to the songs than some of Yorke's other projects. Ultimately, it sounds like what it is: a bunch of experimental-minded mates getting together to make music. It comes highly recommended.

Before Your Very Eyes
Magic Beanz
Review: XL Recordings return to Amok, the debut album from Thom Yorke and company's Atoms For Peace, culling yet another cut for 12" release in the shape of "Before Your Eyes". The opening track from the five piece's much anticipated LP retains its dramatic impact removed from what follows, with the insistent rhythmics and off kilter basslines likely to appeal to the more adventurous selectors out there. Indeed it worked very well within the context of James Holden's recent Resident Advisor podcast. Thom, Nigel and the gang appease their rabid fanbase with the inclusion of exclusive B Side "Magic Beanz".

Deep House
Review: To complement Dark Was The Night, the latest excellent commercial mix of Optimo's storied discography, Mule Musiq have pulled four considered highlights from the CD for this 12" sampler. Listening to the four tracks featured here in isolation from Dark Was The Night only magnifies what accomplished DJs JD Twitch and JG Wilkes are, and highlights their digging skills with the period in which the music originally surfaced covering the late seventies and very early 90s. "I Won't Hurt You" from QX-1 is sleazy, suggestive deep house from the early 90s that will appeal to fans of same era K Alexi Shelby, whilst "Psychodalek Nightmares" is a killer new wave from The Freeze. Odori's "Number One" is super rare deep house from '91 with a killer S&M drum snap and a surfeit of new age samples whilst "Dream Baby Dream" from Angel Corpus Christi has last track written indelibly into it's DNA - no surprise then that it closes the mix!

Funk
Review: A Certain Ratio's core trio of drummer Donald Johnson, bassist/vocalist Jez Kerr, and multi-instrumentalist Martin Moscrop make ACR Loco a perfectly fluid and funk album. In fact, on this, their first album in more than ten years, the Manchester post-punk outfit are as funky as they have ever been. Their tried and tested sound gets nicely updated with modern beat driven sounds and plenty of redefines to today's political strife in the lyrics. There are plenty of smooth and cool synth led grooves like 'Get A Grip' and messages of unity on 'Family' that we can all relate to.

Review: The revival of celebrated space rock, kosmiche and downtempo fusionists A Mountain of One continues apace. Having returned to action last year after a decade away with two tidy singles, the London-based combo has served up another sublime single. 'Black Apple Pink Apple' contains plenty of bold, ear-catching piano work, alongside a rolling, dancefloor-ready space rock groove and some suitably hazy, emotive vocals. The obligatory dancefloor translation is provided by the king of wonkiness, Ricardo Villalobos, who successfully strips things back and creates one of his sparse-but-rubbery workouts out of little more than the band's beats, rubbery bassline and snippets of vocal.

Review: Adia Victoria makes a thoroughly welcome return with her third album, A Southern Gothic. From her unmistakable vocal twang to the scratchy tone of her guitar and the bottleneck lurches behind her, she embodies the south of the USA with undeniable flair. Doubling down on that idea for her third record, she conjures up another stellar run of blues with acerbic wit and confessional intimacy woven together in potent fashion. Featuring the likes of Kyahona and Margo Price on 'You Was Born To Die' and Stone Jack Jones on 'My Oh My', this might just be her best album yet.

The sounds here are brilliantly thrilling and high octane across a first record in five years. 26 years after this group formed they still find new heights and fresh sounds as they reference greats like Warren Zevon, Prince, and Zeppelin while also adding their own love of soul and R&B. Frontman Greg Dulli is in typical swaggering and dynamic form on the mic as he leads this one from the front.

Review: RECOMMENDED
It's the sixth studio album by English rock greats the Alan Parsons Project, with both the eponymous man and his partner in crime Eric Woolfson are on particularly fine form. Originally released in 1982, the fact it was nominated for Best Engineered Album at the GRAMMY Awards a year on, and then won the GRAMMY for Best Immersive Audio Album in 2019 tells you everything there is to know about how well produced this is.
Nevertheless, critics at the time weren't so quick to laud praise on the record, with one Philadelphia Inquirer write-up labelling the release "hopelessly banal", and likening the instrumentation to Paul Mccartney as a manic depressive. Skip forward a few years, though, and it was heralded as a soft pop triumph, combining artistic lyricism with immediate chart accessibility.

Review: At times it borders on twee, in other moments it has that anger slant of a pure renegade. At no point does it sound in anything short of sweet. In many ways, Warm Chris isn't so much an artist album as it is an album by an artist determined not to sound like themselves, with New Zealander Harding interpreting no less than ten personalities on this latest record.
In theory, that might sound disjointed and lacking in direction, but in truth nothing could be further from the mark. From the lilt of 'Bubbles' to the subtly rousing 'Passion Babe', this is a place where borderline fantastical folk meets alternative rock without sharp edges, but nevertheless packed with personality. In short, album number four and things just keep getting better.

Review: For people of a certain age, their teenage years were defined by the edgy grunge, alt and punk rock sounds of bands like Alice in Chains. Three decades later their seminal sophomore effort, Dirt sounds as good as it ever did and gets an anniversary reissue to mark the occasion. It comes with plenty of powerful drums and big-ass basslines as well as yelping vocals and fuzzy textures that take in a range of emotions and even bigger riffs. This issue features a special insert and comes across four sides of vinyl so it's nice and loud, just as intended.

Review: Arguably one of the most integral tentpoles of the grunge movement, Alice In Chains' seminal sophomore effort, Dirt, changed the game upon its release in 1992. Featuring some of the band's most classic cuts such as, 'Them Bones', 'Down In A Hole', 'Rooster', and, 'Junkhead', to name but a few; the incomparable dynamic of Wayne Staley's iconic vocals and cryptic, yet brutally honest lyricism combined with guitarist Jerry Cantrell's mammoth riffs and delicate nuance, still resides high in the echelons of alternative rock three decades on. For lifers and newcomers alike, this 30-year anniversary edition serves as an ideal opportunity to revisit a genuine classic, far murkier and riddled with antagonistic depths than any of its would-be peers.

Review: Is there a more hard-working pair of party-starters than the Allergies' Rackabeat and DJ Moneyshot? The Bristol-based duo have been prolific over the last few years, yet the quality of their work seemingly hasn't suffered. Promised Land, their fifth album, is another invigorating, thrill-a-minute ride through hip-hop/funk/soul/rock/breakbeat fusion, where almost every cut is ripe for dancefloor plays. Highlights include the bluesy breakbeat bustle of 'Working On Me', the scratch-happy, Fatboy Slim-esque fun of 'Jumping Off', growling Dynamite MC hook-up 'Lean On You' (which reminded us a little of Plantlife), soul stomper 'Love Somebody' and 'Are You Ready', where Ugly Duckling's Andy Cooper and singer Marietta Smith both make their mark.

Coldwave/Synth
Review: Canadian singer, songwriter and visual artists Allie X - real name Alexandra Ashley Hughes - is a great representative for the resurgent live electro-synth scene. Emerging from the Toronto indie circuit in the mid-2000s, it was a relocation to Los Angeles, a heartland for neon sounds, and early work with producers Circuit and Billboard that first saw an identity begin to form, which is as retro as it is futuristic, picking up scores of fans along the way, including Katie Perry no less. Girl With No Face is her latest long form, and sees the artist again stick her flag confidently in the ground. Tunes bounce, track, soar, step, pump and - at times - fall apart, emotionally speaking, with clear references to the likes of Ladyhawke, Madonna, Kraftwerk, Cocteau Twins and a-Ha, among others. Definitely one to watch, if you're not already.

Review: Pulsar saw Gianluca Salvadori and Leonardo Ceccanti return to Claremont 56 with a second LP of sanguine and psychedelic dub disco under the Almunia name. Arriving roughly two years after Salvadori and Ceccanti served up the sublime Almunia debut long player New Moon, this new album sees the pair of tracks released as singles (the excellent title track and 'The Magician') complemented by six all new productions. From the heavenly acoustic strumming of opening track 'The Awakening' Almunia remain locked in a mood where refined instrumentation is balanced perfectly with a chugging soft edged disco sensibility with the buoyant 'Views From A Blue Train' a particular highlight.

Review: 2012 feels like a very long way back indeed. Nevertheless, we still remember when An Awesome Wave dropped and took the UK, and later a good chunk of Europe, by storm. Alt-J's debut album remains a call to arms for outsiders to take on the mainstream, and a case of setting out your stall to show exactly what you're made of, and how much business you mean.
Straddling folktronica, electronic pop, art rock, and indie, while merging genres and distancing oneself from standard tropes is in itself nothing new, it's the elements that were picked to stay, and those that got removed from each of the styles that made this stand out. The result is a complex, innovative mix that stops short of oppressive intellectualism, and instead just sounds really original.

Hooting, flatuing and honking comes the lead single 'U&ME', in which Joe Newman sings of personal oppression and stress - "pressing down on my face" - to the tune of woodblocks, metal pangs and strong bass licks.

Review: Toronto's Alvvays return for a much anticipated third album five years after their breakthrough record, Antisocialite. As the story goes for so many bands, the last few years have thrown a number of curveballs their way, but they stepped into the studio with Shawn Everett in October 2021 and laid down their new tracks in immediate, urgent fashion. You can hear Everett's touch all over the production, bringing vibrant textures and subtle details into their sound, but at the heart this remains a vehicle for shimmering, electrically-charged songwriting. On Blue Rev Alvvays stake their claim in the premier league of modern day indie rock, and on the strength of these fourteen songs, who are we to argue?

Review: You can't help wondering what Atlantic Records were thinking when they rejected Little Earthquakes. Tori Amos' debut album, which finally saw the light of day in 1992, reaching 14 in the UK long form charts at a time when competition in the Top anything was ridiculously fierce, the record stands up very well on its own, trapped in your own listening capsule. More so, it marked the arrival of a truly unique voice who would go on to inspire a bunch of alt-pop sirens.
Of course, the finished article garnered praise from across the critical board, proving that what label executives don't know is often what the rest of us do - originality has far more longevity than a guaranteed number one.

Review: You don't get to call your band Amyl & The Sniffers if the music is anything short of corrosive, in the best possible way.

But the Melbourne, Australia band's second LP is far from a simple rehash of the first, which we could have also described in similar terms to those you just read above. This time round things feel more thoughtful, perhaps even patient in certain moments. Of course they still wear 'weirdos' on their sleeves, tongues often firmly placed in cheeks. But there's a depth here to the songwriting, a retro and introspective feeling that reveals far more than the debut album let us hear.

Review: Long before shoegaze and goth were even things, And Also The Trees from Inkberrow in Worcestershire were touching on both genres, building a fan base that included perhaps most notably Robert Smith of The Cure, who invited the band on tour with them and co-produced some of their work. More than four decades on from their first show in 1980, they have a new album that shows not only are they capable of summoning their atmospheric self with ease, but also that they're still evolving musically. Songs like 'The Book Burners' and 'The Seven Skies' see them experimenting with quirky rhythms and a Scott Walker-esque storytelling narrative, although at other moments - see 'Across The Divide' - it's still about setting the guitar pedals to stun and gliding serenely along. Diehard fans will be enthralled, no doubt, but chances are they'll be picking up quite a few new ones with this as well.

And what songs they are. At times you could almost be listening to Nico, or perhaps some latter day rock 'n' roll femme fatale, such as Cate le Bon. It refuses to adhere to genre norms, dramatically introducing elements of opera and theatre to indie frameworks, invoking the spirit of Bat for Lashes, Kate Bush and many more. We're not sure about labels here, which is why hearing it is so damned essential.

In the summer of 1983, with the help of legendary dub producer Adrian Sherwood, she began work on what would be her first full length which consolidated all of her creative assets at that time. Features members of Crass, Family Fodder and African Head Charge among others. A seminal dub/industrial masterpiece and featuring the original artwork by Eve Libertine. Limited to 500 copies (400 black vinyl / 100 brown vinyl).

Review: Aquilo started out on Island Records in 2017 with their debut album Silhouettes, and they quickly followed that up with the similarly atmospheric ii. After that initial rush, the gentle songsmiths have taken a few years out before returning with A Safe Place To Be. In that time, they've been patient in developing their core sound, and blue-eyed balladry is very much still the core tenet of their sound. Subtly ornamenting tracks like 'Our Bones Turn To Stone' with electronic pulses while keeping their vocal harmonies and piano playing at the forefront, it's a mature and considered album which should keep existing fans very happy indeed.

Review: Last year, post-rock heroes Arab Strap announced their return via the release of a string of archive live albums and a collection of mid-1990s demos. Now they've gone one better and delivered their first new studio album since 2005, As Days Get Dark. The essential ingredients that made the Falkirk duo such an attractive proposition - Aidan Moffat's poetic, kitchen-sink-drama lyrics, delivered in a thick Scottish Burr, and multi-instrumentalist Malcom Middleton's distinctively lo-fi backing tracks- are once again the bedrock of the album, though this time the music is perhaps a little more densely layered and - whisper it quietly -surprisingly polished. One esteemed music publication described the album as a "career highlight', and it's hard to disagree.

WE (limited 180 gram vinyl LP + poster in embossed spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: 194399 71221. Rel: 13 May 22
Indie/Alternative
Review: This sixth studio album by Arcade Fire is as anticipated as any in the seminal indie band's long career. It was produced by esteemed Radiohead associate Nigel Godrich in many different locations around the world from El Paso to New Orleans. The band say it was the longest they have ever spent writing together and is focused on the forces that threaten to pull the world apart and how we must resist. WE has a big narrative arc that makes for a real rollercoaster of seven tunes that go from light to dark and back and with plenty of joy expressed amongst the tensions.

Her (Soundtrack) (limited white vinyl LP in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: 194398 32641. Rel: 19 Mar 21
Soundtracks
Review: Spike Jonze's Her is, quite frankly, one of the most profoundly moving movies of the last decade. Posing the question we should all be asking - what happens when people, in this case a writer who is paid to pen personal letters from clients to their loved ones, start falling in love with their computer operating systems? The answer is an existential journey through the greatest unanswerable quandaries of all time; what makes us human? At what point do we become conscious? How long until Siri becomes truly useful?
The soundtrack probably didn't stand out to as many people as the plot and the cinematography, but as this hugely accomplished album version proves, Arcade Fire and Owen Pallet did an incredible job with creating an original score of music that lives up to the ambition of the film - through soft piano sonatas, spiralling synthesised crescendos, and achingly beautiful strings you can see the gamut of human emotions.

The Car (custard vinyl LP + MP3 download code (indie exclusive))
Cat: WIGLP 455X. Rel: 21 Oct 22
Indie/Alternative
Review: One of Britain's best-loved and most accomplished pop-rock bands are back with another highly anticipated album. The Car is epic on every level with its adventurously designed tunes, lots of grand orchestration and plenty of easy-to-enjoy and enigmatic songs of love but also doubt. The Sheffield outfit's seventh long player was written by frontman Turner at his home in LA and mixes indie and psychedelic rock, baroque, glam and orchestral rock with production largely taken care of by frequent collaborator James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco fame. The title is a nod to the fact that - guess what - there are many references to cars throughout the lyrics.

My Soft Machine (gatefold transparent green vinyl LP)
Cat: TRANS 700XX. Rel: 25 May 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: A lot can change in two years or so. Not least if 2021 saw you release one of the most celebrated records of the current decade, tackling the mental health crisis head on in the midst of a global pandemic. An album that despaired and threw its hands up, declaring that we, collectively, are not alright and something needs to change, all via staggeringly poetic prose, at times bordering on spoken word. Returning from that triumphant episode, Arlo Parks follows up with The Soft Machine, an LP that lands after most of the dust from that global emergency has settled, and she's relocated to sunny Los Angeles to live with partner and alternative rapper, Ashnikko. To say the result is something that sounds warmer, more appreciative of what you've got rather than focussed on what isn't would be an understatement, but the exquisite songwriting and willingness to speak honestly about major issues remains.

Olafur ARNALDS / VARIOUS
Late Night Tales (limited 180 gram vinyl 2xLP + art print + MP3 download code)
Cat: ALNLP 44. Rel: 20 Jun 16
Balearic/Downtempo
Review: Icelandic classical, experimental and soundtrack composer Olafur Arnalds steps away from the loops and Broadchurch OSTs to conjure yet another sublime LNT saga. Carefully balancing between contemporary odysseys ("Jomsvikingarimur"), dense futuristic electronic weaves ("Last Remnants"), fuzzy 22nd century pop ("A Noise") sludgy cosmic funk ("Jasmine") and introspective soul ("Our Love Comes Back"), Olafur blows wave after woozy wave of soft sonic conjurations in a way that's broad, detailed and cleverly considered. Good night.

Acoustic Hymns Vol 1 (gatefold 180 gram vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: 405053 8676167. Rel: 29 Oct 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: It's been three whole years since we last encountered a new album from the man like Richard Ashcroft. The guy who once told us how the drugs no longer worked, only to then explain how lucky he was. In many ways, Acoustic Hymns Vol.1 is an extension of all that, a record that has come along at a time when he's clearly ready to reflect on the heady days of the Britpop and UK indie explosion detonated in the 1990s.
Whether you'd call this album a covers collection or original, new work is definitely down to opinion. Ashcroft has opted to turn his hand back to tracks released with his seminal band The Verve, and a few of his own solo bits, only reimagined and reappropriated. The latter word is the most accurate, though. Here genuinely new life is breathed back into the likes of 'Bittersweet Symphony', which, considering the scale of that particular hit, is no mean feat.

Review: Astrel K are a band formed by Rhys Edwards of Ulrika Spacek. They're actually based in Stockholm rather than the UK, and it might be our imagination but it feels like you can hear that Scandivanian chill around the edges of their breezy, indie-psych sound on this, their debut album. Flickering i is led by single 'Is It It Or Is It I?', which showcases the accomplished, multi-timbral nature of their sound. They glide between romantic orchestration, jangly guitar and more textural, atmospheric touches for a sound very much not of this earth, albeit rooted in refined songwriting.

Review: Well, it has to be said that Karl 'Regis' O'Connor has a knack for discovering more than just techno. This latest Downwards missile is a mini-LP from the foreboding Autumns, an introspective Irish outfit working on the outskirts of both punk and techno. It's a band which knows how to blend the two, without seeming forced or out of place. "Tired Eyes", for instance, knocks out a gorgeous guitar riff which is moulded and re-shaped thanks to a heap of delay. It might sound simple, but they way Autumns do it different, more challenging on the ear but nonetheless seductive. As new post-punk music goes, thank *&%! for this! Finally a proper EP of two-chord nastiness!

A Beginner's Mind (green vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: AKR 143LPC3. Rel: 15 Oct 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: The blissful, heart wrenching, emotionally captivating Sufjan Stevens teams up with one of California's finest lo-fi indie artists, and a chap who has warmed up for him on a number of occasions; Angelo De Augustine. No doubt you can already picture in the mind's ear what this collaboration will sound like, and you'd be right. But it's far more difficult to figure out where they're coming from with this release.
Allow us to divulge, then. Beginner's Mind is a record at once inspired by some excellent movies, and then also some not-so-excellent ones. Each track on here owes something to the world's foremost visual culture (sorry, gamers), from 'Reach Out' referencing Wings of Desire to 'Lady Macbeth in Chains' nodding to All About Eve. In every case the link is nuanced, rather than direct, but this is only testament to the staggering songwriting at play.
