Latest new releases

We kick off 31 May’s set of smashers with an unexpected delight: a whole album of obscure, rare and unreleased tracks by Rory Gallagher; unearthed from the family’s tape archive, Blues displays Rory’s love of the genre throughout his solo career from 1971 right through to 1994, and mmm, it sounds lovely! Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan releases his first solo album in 20 years, Tenderness, which was driven by the idea of conflict: its manifestations and sometimes its resolution, and highlights the fact that history repeats itself over and over, and that we will all get past this, together. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the young Louisiana gunslinger who erupted onto the early ’90s scene with his burn-it-down guitar solos and gut-punch songcraft, is still pushing his Fender Strat where others fear to fret, diving deep on The Traveller into human truths and global concerns with an honesty that only comes with age. Thomas Rhett has described his fourth album, Center Point Road as going back to his roots; well, if his roots are great country-inflected pop songs, he is dead right! Skepta is one of the most significant British artists of the age, a Mercury Prize winner and BRIT Award nominee with a diverse audience, who now brings us his new album, Ignorance Is Bliss.

Our album of the week is Further, the eighth studio album from the Sheffield Sinatra himself, Richard Hawley. He has said of the album: “I really wanted to challenge myself to try to keep things relatively up-tempo and keep the songs to about three minutes long. I was asking myself: ‘Can you get your message across like a bullet? Can you still do that?’ It’s quite a tough question to ask.”

We’ve got a blistering sextet for you this week, starting with The Waterboys’ new album, Where The Action Is, a testament to the enduring talents of the band’s founder and frontman, Mike Scott, one of the finest British songwriters of the past four decades. Earth’s ninth studio album, Full Upon Her Burning Lips, purges the embellishment and panache of previous releases and deconstructs dynamic of guitar/bass and drums over hulking, drone-driven opuses. Space-rock psych warriors Black Mountain’s new album, Destroyer, is imbued with the wild mix of freedom and fear that comes with one’s first time behind the wheel – it’s exhilarating, spirited and dangerous. Amyl And The Sniffers are an Australian punk band who set out to have as much fun as possible, and you can hear this clearly on their self-titled debut album. Flamagra, the first album from Flying Lotus in 5 years, draws on hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz, global dance music, and even IDM, and is perhaps the definitive FlyLo record.

Our release of the week is of course Honeyblood’s latest, In Plain Sight. This indie rock project led by Stina Tweedale goes from strength to strength, and any fears about the ‘difficult’ third album are allayed: the clear focus, wit and sparkling identity of the songwriting make this an instant classic.
