Dub Surgeon
The Lost Future
The tracks in this record are named quite well because they are literally given a number. A number 1 to 13, in fact. I kind of wish more bands would do this because it certainly makes it easier. Anyway, Dub Surgeon has released The Lost Future and it brings us 'an authentic dub experience'. Released on Ark to Ashes and available on vinyl LP.&nbs...view item »
Jason Williamson
Happy Days
Sleaford Mods lead barker Jason Williamson is back with his third book of stories and things after his lyrics book Grammar Wanker and Slabs From Paradise. This time it's about really grim things like dogging places, shit pubs, appalling housing, twats, people fighting, lowlife scum, arses, really bad precincts, ...view item »
Admiral
Cash On The Line
The press release for Cash On The Line, the debut album by Admiral, skirts around the idea in rather waffle-based way that the music contained within is from another world or time. Electric pianos, drones, jazz, funk and tropicalia are mentioned. What we do know for sure is that it’s an LP on Wandering Eye, the label run b...view item »
Omar-S feat. Simon Black
I'll Do It Again
Omar S switches it up a smidgen on his latest drop. ‘I’ll Do It Again’ is definitely still identifiable as the work of the FXHE boss - only Omar can carry off that sort of lo-fi bongo-techno thing with such aplomb. However, ...view item »
Maelstrom
Fragment
More electro from the Central Processing Unit label. This time it's from Maelstrom, who returns to the label after July 2018's ECZO, with the four-track EP Fragment. The bass is as tough as you might expect, and I think I detect a hint of acid? I'm no expert. Most impres...view item »
Audrey Chen
Runt Vigor
Tremendous material from experimental music expert Audrey Chen. Her voice is at the core of much of this material, though extended techniques and electronic augmentation may not make that obvious at times. With cello also in the mix, ...view item »
Grand Blue Heron
Come Again
With Come Again, what started out as a vehicle for Paul Lamont has now bloomed into a fully-fledged band. Lamont, together with collaborator Olivier Wychuyse, are Grand Blue Heron, a band whose influences are of the noisy and hardcore variety, but are also more than capable of holding down a mean melod...view item »
Cromby
Futurola EP
For a while Denis Sulta was using the Sulta Selects label as a vehicle for releasing his own stuff. However, with the new Sulta Selects Silver Service series that appears to be changing. The sub-label kicks off with a release by Irish producer Cromby. Fut...view item »
Lee 'Scratch' Perry
The Black Album
Some things never get old. Like Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry's infectious dub and reggae. Despite the man counting 82 years he's still thumping out dub and reggae bangers. The venerable godfather of dub treating us to his second album with UK producer Danny Boyle, The Black Album--with dub versi...view item »
Insecure Men
Karaoke for One: Vol. 1
As we don't work in the London-based media, we don't get on with all the Fat White Family and related stuff we have been told to like so the likes of Insecure Men have rather passed us by. No doubt the Quietus will be on board with this new album from the toothless wonders as they rattle through covers from the ...view item »
A Certain Ratio
The Graveyard and The Ballroom
The Graveyard and the Ballroom was the very first album released by A Certain Ratio.

Re-issue on Mute. ...view item »
Silicon Teens
Music For Parties
Ok then, Seemingly Endless Stream Of Reissues, what you got for me today? Another soul-jazz record that no-one bought the first time it came out? Some Cream demos? A set of previously-unreleased takes from The Old Grey Whistle Test? Go on, give me your best shot.
Silicon Teens? Never heard of th...view item »
Medicine Boy
Lower
Berlin-based Cape Town duo Medicine Boy are now members of London’s Fuzz Club - just in time for their second LP! This one’s called Lower and positively brims with tension. When not actually tipping over into angsty, swirling noise-pop, the songs often sit anxiously right on the edge, ready to go....view item »
Lindsay Clark
Crystalline
Begat and raised in the Sierra Nevada mountains and now resident of Portland, Oregon, subtle songwriter and nature-lover Lindsay Clark returns with her fourth album.

They took their sweet time about it, but four years on from their breakout mixtape AS Live [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Berlin-based duo Amnesia Scanner have delivered their debut LP.

Janelle Monae
Dirty Computer
Inventive, trend-bending hip-pop soulsmith Janelle Monáe returns with a host of collaborators for Dirty Computer. Her first album in five years finds her celebrating the spectra of sexuality with rubbery pop - some of which co-written by the late Prince himself. The album also hosts the dulcet to...view item »
Pixies
Come On Pilgrim... It's Surfer Rosa
Well there's no doubt that these are two of The Most Important Indie Rock Records Of All Time. Both are absolutely exceptional, in particular 'Surfer Rosa' which pretty much turned everything I knew on its head in my teenage years. 30 years after the event we get this luxury box set of both records plus a live show from the era. No new demos or ...view item »
Exit North
Book of Romance and Dust

ERR REC Library Vol.1 Espaces Urbains
Here’s err, newish label ERR, based in, err, Paris. And the ERR Rec Library Vol.1 compilation is all about those espaces urbaines, so nine contemporary - and pseudonymous - Parisian artists are on board with gear both old (Korg MS-10 etc.) and new (Arturia MiniBrute etc.) to produce very analoguey works largely (though not solely)...view item »

D.U.D.S.
Immediate
Has a record ever been a co-release between three labels before? Well LP on Red Wig / Opal Tapes / Et Mon Cul C'est Du Tofu? are all involved in putting this out but it's the involvement of Opal Tapes that is the headline here.

The Lucid Dream
Actualisation
The Lucid Dream put their bad luck (their gear was all stolen in Paris in 2017) firmly behind them with fourth album Actualisation, a record that could not have come to be without some great fan support.

Tamino
Amir
Tamino is a half-Belgian, half-Egyptian musician who could well do very big things. He has a voice that most people would kill for and makes music akin to that of Jeff Buckley or Radiohead’s more melancholy moments.

The Best Of R.E.M. At The BBC
You'll have to be a pretty big R.E.M fan to wade through the various sessions and live performances on the big bumper CD box set that accompanies this release. So how about this truncated version on both LP and CD - a briefer flit through the best bits of the band's performances over the years at 'Auntie' as Wogan used to ...view item »
KT Tunstall
BBC Live Sessions
Over the years, guitar troubadour KT Tunstall has turned up and recorded at the BBC a few times: revisiting the sessions, some of them sounded quite good, so now here we go with a proper EP release.

Blissful indie-techno producer Geotic, alias of Will Wiesenfield (better-known as Baths), with another album packed with soulful and warm beats.

Willie J Healey
666 Kill
Willie J Healey took a novel approach to writing the songs for his first record of new material since 2017 debut LP People And Their Dogs. As soon as an idea would appear in his head Healey sought to flesh it out without over-elaborating the writing process. The results are these six tracks of plaintive freak-folk that ...view item »

More audio than you could ever need of R.E.M performing at the BBC.

Matthew Dear
Bunny
Dear Matthew, thanks for releasing a new album. I don't know what it sounds like yet. I'm told that it's kinda moody and ominous which would certainly offset the fact that it's named Bunny, because rabbits are incredibly cute.

John Grant
Love Is Magic
John Grant feels that album-by-album his music is becoming a truer reflection of who he is. Judging by the cover of his 4th solo album, Love Is Magic, he’s really coming out of his shell.

This is the first new album from criminally underrated British hip-hop artist Jehst in more than 6 years.
