Review: No, not that Sade is the first thing to note or you will very much be in for a shock. This Sade is a gloomy metal band made up of Andrew Pozzy on vocals, guitars, piano, synth, Silvia on bass, backing vocals and Matt Sade on drums and pads with Maurizio Baggio also going for some additional guitar and synth work. This album has been informed by the pandemic and brings all new darkness to the band's sound. Dark-wave and goth moods pervade the tracks which all lay out a pessimistic and nihilistic view of the human condition.

Good Humor (25th Anniversary Edition) (180 gram translucent green & white splattered vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: HVNLP 71C. Rel: 09 Feb 23
Balearic/Downtempo
Review: Saint Etienne's cult classic Good Humor marks its quarter-of-a-century anniversary with this special splatter vinyl reissue edition. It comes with the original artwork and inner sleeve that was used back in 1998 when it first dropped and it has aged fantastically well. The title is an intentional US spelling to kick back against the 'quintessentially English' tag the band often got given. It also found them leaving behind indie dance and serving up some extra acoustic and orchestral elements with plenty of synth-pop hooks and dance grooves.

Plunge (limited translucent water blue vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: 691835 885636. Rel: 21 Mar 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: "No-one knew the songs or what the plan was. We kept it loose and fun. This was the spirit of the sessions. No headphones, no playback, minimal overdubs, or bleed. Fast and loose," says Sam Evian of his latest record, the first to grace his new imprint, Thirty Tigers. If that's not enough to make you balk with jealously at not being invited, then the idea of Big Thief's Adrian Lenker and Sufjan Stevens, among others, debasing to Evian's house in the Catskills to examine a revamped studio, complete with vintage tape deck and console, then going wild swimming at midnight, just as snow fell, might seal the deal. The following day, work began on Plunge, a record with no real fixed direction or plan. In the end, it will - or, at least, it should - be remembered among Evian's finest offerings. A stunning collection of folk-leaning rock 'n' roll, Americana and jangly indie, you can almost smell upstate New York.

Stay What You Are (reissue) (limited hand-numbered gatefold splattered vinyl 2x10" LP + insert)
Cat: HOFFVR 25V19. Rel: 25 Jan 24
Punk/Hardcore
Review: Over two decades since its initial release, the third full-length from emo veterans, Saves The Day, is still heralded as a high watermark for the pop-punk/post-hardcore scene of the 21st century. Switching out acclaimed producer, Steve Evetts, who manned the desks of their first two albums, Elliot Smith collaborator Rob Schnapf was enlisted to help the band channel their dynamic influences and conflicting emotions into an exceptional work of alternative, melancholic beauty. 'Stay What You Are', is often regarded as one of the focal points of the emo movement arriving on more accessible shores, and you'd be hard-pressed to find any self-respecting list of genre essentials that omits the project. Influencing a myriad of today's most prevalent and dynamic acts, this scene staple belongs on the shelf of any self-proclaimed, unashamed lover of emo.

Cupid & Psyche 85 (reissue) (LP + insert in embossed sleeve)

Indie/Alternative
Review: Scritti Politti made three albums for Virgin and all of them are now being reissued by band leader Green Gartside's current record label, Rough Trade, this year. Cupid & Psyche 85 first came in 1985 and is now presented with new sleeve notes that reunite Gartside with keyboardist and co-producer David Gamson. These are the first reissues of any kind from Scritti Politti, and it coincides with a forthcoming tour that runs in autumn and celebrates 35 years of Cupid & Psyche 85. Politti's brand of alternative indie is close to as sweet as it gets on this record, with plenty of sensuality and sweet but never sickly pop tropes.

Anomie & Bonhomie (reissue) (gatefold 2xLP + insert)
Cat: RTRADLP 697. Rel: 30 Jul 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: If you've never been to Leeds then let's put it like this i Scritti Politti make a lot of sense if you know the city well enough. Long before 'the first Harvey Nichols outside London' and the refurbishment of the historic arcades there was dereliction and squats. If you look hard enough, you'll still find them, but it's out of that 1970s economic woe that Scritti Politti emerged, kicking, screaming and squatting while blending various spheres of influence into a punk framework.
Within a decade, though, they would leave that rough and ready remit behind, at least in part, and adopt a more mainstream pop approach. Anomie & Bonhomie, released in 1999 after no less than an 11 year hiatus, marries both chart friendliness with an alternative edge, in moments sounding like Let Loose, at other times the forgotten Kid Rock demos.

Review: Factory Records has retained a cult following well into the 21st Century. The imprint lent at least part of its name to a L250million arts centre in its Manchester hometown, opened in 2023, and those famous yellow and black stripes from the Hacienda appear everywhere from property developers to cookie cutter bars in the city. Section 25 may not be the first band that springs to mind when thinking about that legacy, but in many ways represent just how deep the talent ran through the roster. Outliving Factory itself, the Preston, Lancashire group reformed after a 13-year-hiatus in 2001, partly driven by just how much interest there was in their back catalogue. In 2007, they releases Part-Primitiv, a spellbinding collection of weird electronica, spooky synthdom, Roland pop, and forward-punching post-punk. A vital reminder of the outfit's quality, the impact remains on this reissue.

Review: Whirlybird is a documentary which demanded a different sort of sound from Ty Segall,. He departs for his usual rock vibe and took on this challenge with an all new vibe. The resulting soundtrack is crafted from a variety of synth sounds, electric keyboards, drums, percussion and saxophones and off course, some of his signature guitars, It is sorry telling instrumental music with a real sense of its own narrative and perfectly frames the film's compulsive themes and images. It stands alone as a fine listen and a great testament to Ty's versatility.

Review: Ty Segall's first album in two years takes the artist into rather new and unexpected musical territory. The production has had a whole redesign and come out the other side with a synthtastic sound but there remains a load of keys and guitars, too. As such Harmonizer sounds new and fresh with plenty of bursts of transcendent energy. The Freedom Band were called upon during the origin of this album and so appear all throughout it, but often one at a time. This intense record is a grown up soul sound that gets more and more compelling with each listen as fresh details keep on revealing themselves.

Review: In 2024 urban and club are often interchangeable terms. Both are also painfully reductive, but that's a point for another time. Los Angeles-based vocalist and producer serpentwithfeet is a case in point, an artist who deftly weaves together sexy and seductive with nightlife energy, proving not only the breadth of each canon but also how much ground they can share. While this may not be unfamiliar, it's relatively new ground for the man with the mic in question, whose previous exploits have often been rooted in gospel tones, nodding to his own upbringing in a religious household. GRIP is musically revelatory in that sense, then, and impeccably crafted.

Food For Worms (limited translucent purple vinyl LP)

Indie/Alternative
Review: Five years after their debut album made big moves back in 2018, and two after its successor Drunk Tank Pink re-invented them as proper highbrow new wavers, Shame are back with their third Food For Worms. It's tinged with a certain sense of morbidity but also looks outwards and tries to celebrate life. "I don't think you can be in your own head forever," said frontman Charlie Sheen of the writing process. He also declares this to be "the Lamborghini of Shame records" and we are inclined to agree. Fuelled by a love of playing live, this record is one of the fast the band has ever written and so brims with vitality and energy as they cast out their post-punk roots in favour of a more eclectic sound. And what a great result.

Hope (Deluxe Edition) (reissue) (limited gatefold green vinyl LP)
Cat: LPKRS 739X. Rel: 06 Apr 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: It's hard to know where to begin with Shamir's second album. Or at least it was in 2017. The music? The context? Maybe both: the difficult follow up to one of that decade's finest pop records marked an about turn for the artist, and an almost vulnerable level of honesty, rejecting any preconceptions about his earlier effort and exploring a very different end of the emotional noise spectrum.
While last time round things had been incredibly polished and hook-driven, almost sing-along pop, on Hope we're taken to a rougher, rawer, perhaps grittier side of Shamir. Recorded in just one weekend, originally released for free, it's a grungy, lo-fi, punk-y, garage rock 'n' roll experiment that keeps on delivering across all 12 tracks. A brave change of course and one that we hope will continue.

Indie/Alternative
Review: Patrick Shiroishi might bleed pure saxophone if you cut him deeply enough. At times cacophonous and pained, in other moments distorted and almost unrecognisable, then there are sections of pure bliss. With this four track EP the man in question might struggle to win new fans quickly - 'Once There Was Only Dark' and 'Tomorrow Is Almost Over' run to over seven and nine-minutes respectively - but he's certainly showing off his instrumental abilities and progressive approach to arrangements. A true jazz record, then, even if pedants could argue in favour of a different label. It has all the beguiling qualities, that sense of grand but loose experimentation, albeit here there's more nuances of white noise groups and drone ambience than the avant-garde movement of the 1950s and 60s. The point being those looking for sounds that engage the mind and soul by way of bold aural ideas should stay for a while.

Review: We can only begin to image how Silverchair felt taking to the stage at Chicago's legendary Cabaret Metro. It's 1994, and the band aren't even old enough to buy a drink (members are still only 15), but their spectacular debut, Frogstomp, has already positioned them as Australia's great post-grunge hope, meaning a venue famed for seminal shows by scene deities like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins - among others - would mean the world to the young upstarts.
Live was the resulting album, initially released on promotional CD only, packing seven tracks of pure on-stage energy, cacophony, and guitar-first dirt, alongside a special bonus bit at the end. Available now for the first time ever on black plastic, with just 5000 copies pressed, it's what you might call a veritable piece of 1990s rock history.

Review: Catharsis runs through the debut solo album from Oliver Sim, best known to most of us as the bassist-singer from The XX. A record that's about pulling back the curtain to reveal who he really is - surprising, considering The XX's output always felt heart-on-sleeve - even the vocal delivery feels more honest, less whispered, no longer hidden beneath effects and subtle textures.
Hideous Bastard is in many ways also less produced, more human. And by that we mean theatric, dramatic, packed with artistic ideas, and the feeling of someone coming of age to finally feel comfortable in their own skin letting us in. Inventive to the last, it's forward thinking alternative electronic-pop-rock-indie fare but, more significantly, it's an act of sharing - from his own HIV diagnosis at 17 (the first time he has publicly discussed the illness) to thoughts about the industry and society itself.

Review: RECOMMENDED
Three acclaimed musicians, one incredible way to start your 2022 music collection. With members boasting heritage including the mighty FM Belfast and mum, we shouldn't need to explain there's real pedigree here, and in generous, beautifully sung, emotionally captivating spades. From the tender quiet of 'Afterparty', to the more rousing, chart-worthy 'Where The Maps Run Out', one thing is clear from the off - song craft is rarely so well accomplished.
For the most part, concerned with hushed atmospheres and subtle but effective technique, highlights for us include the gentile vocal harmonies of 'Shame', the swooning neo-journeyman sound of 'Tell Your New Lovers', and the unassuming but unarguably infectious 'Today I Wrote Nothing', but ultimately this one is about diving in and fully immersing yourself in the complete package.

Mantaray (half speed remastered) (limited translucent red vinyl LP)

Indie/Alternative
Review: Siouxsie Sioux is easily one of the most iconic musical artists of the 20th Century. By the time Mantaray arrived, circa 2007, she'd been in the game for more than 30 years, a career that erupted as the first sparks began to ignite the fires of punk, and one that still continues to this day. Like many with such longevity, her various projects, from The Banshees to The Creatures, grew increasingly artistic over the years. In many ways, this - her first solo album under Siouxsie, or Siouxsie Sioux - represented a move back towards more mainstream fare, albeit that's comparatively speaking and important to make clear we mean mainstream for Sioux. Nevertheless, as was acknowledged at the time, this is closer to pop than anything else, but still comes with the trappings of alternative, from dark twisted balladry to uptempo wildness.

Several of them had not been on any album by then despite them clocking up four long players already.

Review: Siouxsie and the Banshees' Demos 1977-1978 album offers a captivating glimpse into the early creative evolution of the iconic original punks turned post-punk explorers. These raw and unpolished recordings showcase the band's formative years, capturing the essence of their experimental sound. Siouxsie Sioux's haunting vocals and the Banshees' avant-garde approach lay the foundation for the influential musical path they would later tread. The demos reveal a primal energy - check their cover of T-Rex's '20th Century Boy' for further evidence - and provide a rare and intimate look at the band's artistic genesis. It's a must-listen for enthusiasts eager to explore the roots of one of post-punk's pioneering and enduring acts.

Review: A band who never stood still from the moment they emerged in the punk explosion, Siouxsie & The Banshees were a vital force in alternative British music whose legacy is still being understood now. By the time they reached their final album, 1995's The Rapture, they had assimilated punk, goth, pop and chamber music into a compelling whole which gave producer John Cale plenty to work with. One listen to the epic scope of the album's title track proves the point on a stirring 11-minute arc of orchestration and unsettling undercurrents. If it was a lot to take in on release, it's aged beautifully and now sees reissue as a double blue vinyl edition for National Album Day 2023.

Review: The Sisters of Mercy had been touting their wares on tour and through a stream of singles by the time they headlined the legendary Teatro Espero in Rome. But 1985 - the year of the performance - was a pivotal one for the English band. Debut album First and Last and Always had just landed to critical acclaim, confirming what the outfit could do on a long-form record. Of course, in many ways, we already knew it - the group's live shows had garnered a reputation for inimitable and epic experiences, regardless of how big the room was. 1985's tour was something of a culmination of both sides, then, and judging by this account-on-album the results were as captivating as they were commanding.

Review: Hardly The Same Snake is the second album from Skinny Pelembe and this version comes via Partisan on limited translucent red vinyl. The Johannesburg-born, Doncaster-raised artist Doya Beardmore really comes of age here, finding his own unique voice and putting it front and centre. Its gravelly baritone is unique and delivers what the artist says he would have done first time around on his debut had he been brave enough. Observations made at design exhibitions are the jumping-off point for the songs which are both visceral yet soulful as they muse on life, death, family, religion and major milestones in between.

Review: Sleater Kinney continue to show us why they rank among America's finest modern rock bands. Little Rope certainly does its best to occupy a space in your mind, long after the hooks, distorted harmonies and heartfelt, almost desperate vocals of 'Say It Like You Mean It' have faded - perhaps the catchiest and most memorable, certainly the most radio-friendly, mainstream-sounding track on this record. To say it's the standout moment would be misleading, though. The torment and sorrow on 'Hell', which flits between crumpled on the floor hopelessness and blind, loud, synth-guitar rage, is just one example of how much impact the whole thing has, while the demands of 'Dress Yourself' - "Get up, girl, and dress yourself in clothes you love for a world you hate," prove incredible depth. Then you discover singer-guitarist Carrie Brownstein's parents tragically died in a car crash in 2022, and realise just how much has gone into this.

Post Rock/Experimental
Review: In many ways Spiderland is lucky to exist., Slint weren't exactly the most avid studio band in the world, only recording two full length albums during the five years in which they were properly active. They also disbanded around the time this record was released - 1991 - perhaps even shortly before, which could have scuppered any plans for their difficult second even after they managed to emerge from a recording facility with enough tracks.
But what tracks they are. Spiderland is rightly considered an absolute landmark, an LP that captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll in transition. Leaving one decade behind, and the hardcore punk that had dominated the underground guitar scene, while still retaining those ethics, it has one foot in grunge, another in experimental, another in garage and a fourth somewhere else. Enough limbs to mark it out as a real mutant.

Review: The Slow Show are probably the least-Manchester Manchester band we know. Rolling back the years to our first encounter, the mesmerising White Water, we recall stopping dead in tracks as the powerful, somber, and utterly inimitable voice of Rob Goodwin sung out in mournful verse. Love at first sight, anyone who has ever experienced anything even close to loss would have found it impossible to ignore. That was then and this is now. With four albums already under their belt, Subtle Love lands as perhaps the groups poppiest and lightest effort to date, although it is still very much their sound. Minimalist yet epic, summoning elements of northern brass bands, opera, and journeyman blues-rock, tracks here manage to be soft yet commanding, spellbinding and deep enough to dive into and never come back out.

It's been produced by Radiohead's long time go-to guy Nigel Godrich, and it features a full brass section including the likes of Theon and Nathaniel Cross amongst others. Of course you can hear slithers of the 'Head in there, but it's also fascinating to hear Yorke and Greenwood stretching out in a different project without all the years of legacy behind them.

Review: It's Lindsey Jordan's second album under the Snail Mail guise. And, just like the namesake service, it's not rushed, at times feels a little unpredictable, and has an air of familiarity that's bound to put listeners at ease. Not that the immediately inviting, often-sweet soft rock instrumentation should be taken at face value. Valentine is an ode to love in a multitude of definitions, but the vast majority of them are in dire need of a little TLC. Not broken, just unkept and taken for granted.
Well, OK, in some instances things are beyond repair - at least one song here is concerned with the horrific feeling of finding out your former-love is now with a current love, which isn't you. On the whole, though, there's a theme of redemption running through the music on this record. That, and the realities of coming of age in the lens of the music and lifestyle press after debut LP Hush exploded before you turned 20.

Review: The last time we heard from Sophie Regina Allison was two years ago, when Color Theory arrived as a follow up to the well-received debut, Clean. Born into a very different world to the one we're living in today, pre-pandemic (the WHO had yet to describe Covid-19 in those terms), before the outbreak of all-out war on the border of NATO's defensive territory, when things were affordable, and while the idea of a national strike in Britain was unthinkable.

Sometimes Forever (limited pink & black splattered vinyl LP)
Cat: LVR 2754. Rel: 20 Jul 22
Indie/Alternative
Review: Forgive the cheap joke, but Sometimes Forever marks a hat trick for Soccer Mommy, with this arguably the most technically and dramatically impressive of all three albums to date. Sophie Allison is quickly becoming our favourite alternative rock player, managing to conjure incredible levels of atmosphere, distilling a wealth of different ideas, and presenting the lot with enviable artistry.
In this instance, then, we veer between many of the waypoints we've experienced in the past - damaged and unfinished grungy trip hop that could almost be early Portishead, swoon-worthy yet underproduced indie anthems, electronic-disco-tinged downbeat beauty, fragile balladry - only with more emotional impact than ever before. A legend in the making, again.

Review: When Soccer Mommy dropped 2022's Sometimes Forever, we made the rather painful dad joke that the third album represented a hat trick for the band with a football-influenced name. Let's start by offering another apology to you and the group for the cheap penmanship, and move on. Now presenting LP number four, let's avoid the temptation to us words like 'haul' (or, considering these guys are US-based, 'hambone'... oops) and cut straight to the chase. Or at least the tunes.
Another year, another great collection of alternative rock stunners that are at once spiky yet easy going, disaffected but hopeful, sparse but musically packed. 'Blossom', for example, pits the ever-incredible voice of Sophie Allison with gliding, mournful strings, and a background quiet so powerful you can hear fingers sliding down the guitar neck. Next in line, 'Last Girl' ushers in an uptempo, bouncing rock 'n' roll vibe, before 'Skin' looks to shoegaze for at least some of its inspiration. Excellent stuff, we could go on.

Review: Soft Cell's Non Stop Erotic Cabaret & Other Stories: Live is a different and thrilling way to experience the band's iconic debut album. Recorded during their farewell concert at London's 02 in 2018, the album - with superb neon artwork - captures the essence of their groundbreaking synth-pop sound with electrifying live performances.

Review: Luis Vasquez is the artist behind The Soft Moon and on his latest album we find him in his most confessional and self-reflective mood to date. An array of his inner most feelings are laid bare here for all to wallow in on this cathartic and soothing fifth full-length album. It brings all new emotion to post-punk industrial with two standout collaborations with fish narc and Alli Logout of Special Interest adding further greatness to this instant classic. It is now 12 years since Luis debuted his first album, but this might be his best work yet.

Trust (gatefold red vinyl LP in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: 4AD 0517LP. Rel: 17 Nov 22
Indie/Alternative
Review: 'Trust' is the London-born, Catalonia-based producer SOHN's folktronic meditation on the fear and trust involved in fatherhood. Made after a relocation to Spain, and a personal welcoming of new life into the world, it captures a change in mindset through humbled sonics. "I couldn't do it alone anymore," says the artist, "as I was missing community and friendship and life in the creative process." Such an ego-loss is paramount to any artist's development of self; 'M.I.A.' is one such example of this, describing the artist looking back on his past self through the other side of a nervous breakdown.

Much Against Everyones Advice (Love Record Stores 2021) (limited gatefold blue vinyl LP)
Cat: PIASB 010LP. Rel: 12 Jan 22
Indie/Alternative
Review: Soulwax are nothing short of Belgian enigmas. In the dance music world, people still consider As Heard on Radio Soulwax as a landmark mix album, utilising upwards of 110 elements of tunes to piece together a wild soundtrack to a house party in 2003 - packing electroclash, hip hop, e-funk, synth, house, and more. But then a lot of those listeners haven't explored the core project these music makers are involved with, Soulwax, an alternative rock outfit in the truest sense.
Much Against Everyones Advice was the record that first got them properly noticed, even if it didn't necessarily resonate with the electronic crew back in 1998, when it originally hit shelves. How useful, then, to find it being reissued so we can make amends there, and dive into its resolutely funky but tough, intelligent but direct tones, spanning lackadaisical numbers like 'Proverbial Pants' to rowdier affairs like the riff-heavy 'Scream'.

Review: Liverpool's indie rock band Space released their much vaunted debut album Spiders in September 1996. It went straight to number 5 in the UK albums charts and was widely acclaimed for its unique sound. The lyrics also came with plenty of humour, which stand the record apart, and musically its take sin plenty of weird and wonderful references from classic indie to pop. Big singles like 'Female Of The Species', 'Neighbourhood', 'Me and You Versus the World' and 'Dark Clouds' all sound as good now as ever and this 25th anniversary edition comes pressed on heavyweight 180g translucent yellow vinyl.

Review: English alternative-garage psyche rockers (and that barely comes close) Spacemen 3 had a serious reputation for their live shows. Inducing the kind of trance-like states in their audiences we more commonly associate with the endless spirals of dance music, for some the trio are godfathers of shoegaze, writing the book on that epic guitar opera long before people really knew what to call it, helping set the tone for the more exploratory side of 1980s rock. Simply put, they were a group you'd feel lucky to have experienced live, and even this five track opus of mind-melting rhythms, discordance and pent up energy is a pretty incredible thing to behold. Recorded live at Melkweg, Amsterdam, and originally released in 1989, once you've lost a few minutes in the refrains, builds, and crescendos you'll understand the cult status of this release - thankfully now repressed.

Lazer Guided Melodies (Special Edition) (gatefold 180 gram vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: FP 17511. Rel: 23 Apr 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: There's nothing like taking time with something. Take this record, for example. While many bands may have felt a compulsion to get their first long form out and heard ASAP - especially given the hype surrounding Spiritualized at the time - Lazer Guided Melodies, the outfit's debut LP, only landed in shops two years after recording started. Proving very much worth the wait, although it would be a few albums until the group really defined their niche, this was as good an inaugural adventure as anyone could ask for.
Setting the stall out in the space rock territory, while still keeping one foot rooted in the baggy-trousered indie rock attitude of the day, Spiritualized's debut long form foretells of the lush, cosmic vibes that would become cornerstones of their work, incorporating elements of Kraut, folk, and rave, all of which ensured we took notice then, and are still paying attention three decades on.

Review: Originally intended as a second companion disc to the And Nothing Hurt album in 2018, Everything Was Beautiful became its own beast and now marks the latest step on for Jason Pierce's long and winding travels as Spiritualized. Pierce took the bits and pieces from that intended bonus disc and developed an album which has become one of the band's most emotive, engrossing works in recent times, perhaps responding to the universal changes the world has gone through in the past few years. It's still very much the band you've loved since the 90s, but there's a sense of space and maturity in the songwriting which seems set to lodge this as one of the classics in Spiritualized's mammoth oeuvre.

Review: Spiritualized fans have been in heaven this last year as their most classic first four albums have all been reissued. Now they are back with a brand new long player, Everything Was Beautiful, written in lockdown and reflects Jason Spaceman's fondness for insolation. He plays 16 different instruments on the record in 11 different studios and also called upon over 30 musicians and singers for help. The list includes his daughter Poppy, long-time collaborator and friend John Coxon, plus string and brass sections, choirs and finger bells and chimes. It makes for a dense, rich album, but would you expect anything else?

Indie/Alternative
Review: Watch out for the upcoming Spiritualized album - aka. Jonathan Meades' musical journey through poor self-confidence, narcissism and doubt. In his words, contained and condensed into the sonic foundries of this album are all the attributes of your bog-standard musician: "paranoia, vanity, egoism, selfishness, sycophancy, resentment, moral nullity and more idiot than idiot savant". This LP comes as a standard black vinyl edition, as well as a premium pink vinyl edition; the latter contains a pillbox in the sleeve, revealing a strange Braille-embossed figurine - or "little thing" - as a keepsake.

Indie/Alternative
Review: The Spaceman Reissue Program from Fat Possum Records and Spiritualized now gets the last in the series with Let It Come Down, the band's epic fourth album. This record was the first from a rather new-looking lineup for the band after the previous members melted away following intensive tours around Ladies And Gentlemen.... John Coxon's studio is where the band laid down the initial framework for these tunes before a total of 115 different musicians were reportedly enlisted down at Air and Abbey Road Studios to hone what ended up as these 11 songs. They have always been a widescreen band, but Spiritualized outdid even themselves on this one.

Review: RECCOMENDED
It might have been the album that made us all realise just how incredible the combination of Jason Pierce, Kate Radley and Sean Cook were. Spiritualized's difficult second is easy to fall in love with, produced by Pierce himself and centred around three core members, with previous bandmates Mark Refoy and Jonny Mattock also involved alongside contributions from The Balanescu Quartet.
This vinyl reissue may not glow in the dark like the original CD copies, but it's still an illuminating experience. Huge, commanding, stadium filling tracks like 'Medication', floaty and deeply transient work like 'Let It Flow', and cacophonous masterpieces such as 'These Blues', it's any wonder the troupe didn't go on to become one of most treasured and revered in English rock history. Oh, actually, hold on a second...

Todo Era Bello (Spanish Edition) (limited LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: BELLA 1270VES. Rel: 10 Jul 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: It's hard not to feel that the first time you heard Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space it was a lightbulb moment - one of those life, or at least music-affirming experiences that's hard to come back from. Not the first Spiritualized album, but certainly the most critically acclaimed at the time, and arguably still to this day, it confirmed the Warwickshire band had arrived at the highest level of chart-friendly artistry. That point when a band realise they can do what they want, and it resonates with both niche and mainstream ears. Everything Was Beautiful arrived 25 years later, and emphasised that point. Yes, we're talking about a group that reached full maturity some time ago, rather than a troupe of rising enigmas pushing rock 'n' roll in new directions. Nevertheless, the way in which we are invited back into their world is captivating. Tracks that rouse, inspire, and feel utterly timeless. As a record, this is an exhilarating ride from start to finish, almost seeming to distill all that has come before into one intoxicating brew. Here in a limited Spanish pressing, grab it while you can.

Bright Green Field (gatefold green vinyl 2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: WARPLP 314G. Rel: 07 May 21
Indie/Alternative
Review: It's Squid, but maybe not as you knew them in short form. While musi-cally not a million miles from the earliest samples we had from the band, Bright Green Field is a different place that we find them in. An "imaginary cityscape", as the outfit have apparently put it, which is home to a multitude of things - people, events, movements, memories.
So whereas before things took a pretty intimate, even domesticated lyr-ical slant, here the scope is much greater. Track titles like 'G.S.K.' should be enough to prove the point (a not-so-subtle nod to Big Pharma giant GlaxmoSmithKline). Elsewhere themes range from aggressive propa-ganda of right wing politics to physical space itself. An outfit real-ising what can be done with the reach of their voice (or maybe just fi-nally releasing it), while remaining true to the punk, art rock, jazz fusion you were hoping for from this confident Bristolian debut.

Review: House music exploded in the UK in 1987 and continued to blow up in the ensuing summers. But with all the high energy parties and ever more visceral rave sounds, people needed a break, and so it was that in February of 1990 the KLF invented new slowed down after-sounds on their Chill Out mix. This collection gathers best sub 100bpm cuts form that time, as assembled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley. Fun fact - the artwork for the LP is a picture from the new book on acid house by photographer Dave Swindells which is well worth copping if you can.
