Yazoo
Upstairs At Eric's
Upstairs At Eric’s was the debut album by pop duo, Yazoo. The band featured ex-Depeche Mode synth guy Vince Clarke and singer Alison Moyet, very much the Adele of her day. The album included the hits Only You and Don’t Go. The duo made one more album before Vince Clarke formed Erasure with Andy Bell and Alison Moyet embarked on a successful solo career. This album was originally released in 1982. Their influence has rumbled through the world of pop ever since.

ERR REC Library Vol.2 Science & Technology
People really love library music. There's something about the idea of music that wasn't created for mass consumption that creates a sense of purity. Some people are so in love with the idea that they've decided to emulate the sound. On ERR REC Library Vol.2 Science & Technology, 11 French composers do just this.

Sunn O)))
Life Metal
Here they come again, churning away. This time slo-mo metallers Sunn O))) have recorded with grumpy recording engineer Steve Albini who, when answering the phone from the big hairy guys said "Sure, this will be fun". And fun it was as the band drafted in violin ace Hildur Guðnadóttir (Mum, Pan Sonic) to add textures and all sorts to the ever expanding brew. Also Anthony Pateras guests on pipe organ.

Fontaines D.C.
Dogrel
I've never heard of them. Seriously, I've never heard of them. They made four hotly received double A-side singles last year which I never knew about and got airplay on Steve Lamacq (which I never heard) and have played sold out shows across Europe which I never attended. Turns out they play snotty indie/post-punk with vocals that seem to sit somewhere between Mark E. Smith and Cathal Coughlan. But what do I know?

Adam Winchester
Muutto
Now dwelling in the more avant-garde hinterlands of electronica having begun his career associated with the Bristol dubstep scene, Muutto is the latest album from Berlin-based (because where else?) composer Adam Winchester. It's also the first ever vinyl release for Scottish independent electronic label a quiet RIOT.

Mildlife
How Long Does It Take? / Baldelli & Dionigi Remixes
Mildlife drop a new single, and it’s a peak time club banger if ever we heard one. ‘How Long Does It Take?’ is one of those melodious and buoyant house jams that groups like Hot Chip and Galaxians make regular mincemeat outta. No wonder Italo-Disco legends Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionogi fancied having a crack at remixing it. They dice the thing two ways to bulk out the How Long Does It Take? EP.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Fishing For Fishies
What’s the point in releasing an album every 2-3 years? Why not just release stuff all the time? This certainly seems to be the approach of the weed-fueled Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Fishing For Fishes is their thirteenth album in 7 years. Imagine how many they’ll release if their career lasts as long as The Rolling Stones? Keep it up, guys! On Flightless.

DJ Nate
Take Off Mode
With Take Off Mode, DJ Nate bookends the Tens with two of its finest footwork collections. As with 2010’s Da Trak Genious, this LP compiles some of the juke and battle trax that the Chicago native has laid down in the intervening decade. Given that this period includes the years in which Nate was temporarily paralysed from the neck down, Take Off Mode also stands as something of a triumphant return. Tense, explosive tunes in the Teklife vein.

Dana Gavanski
One By One
Wouldn't it be nice to be so productive that a visit to Belgrade could lead to releasing a 7". Sadly we can't all be Dana Gavanski, who wrote One By One one autumn in the Serbian capital. A moving song about the euphoria of rebuilding after some catastrophe. The b-side features the song 'Do You?' Possibly also written in Belgrade.

Letha Rodman Melchior
Mare Australe
Letha Rodman Melchior was a musician and artist. Sadly, she died in 2014. She only released one album, Handbook For Mortals, in her lifetime. Mare Australe is her third album and second posthumous release. She makes extraordinary sound collages from disparate sounds. Despite the oddness, her recordings retain a warmth only a special artist can create. LP on Feeding Tube Records. Limited edition of 250 copies.

Maryanne Amacher
Petra
Incredibly, this release marks the first commercial availability of an instrumental work by the late Maryanne Amacher, the late renowned sound artist, and the first time anything of hers has been around on vinyl. This interpretation of her 1991 piece Petra was recorded two years ago at a church in New York with pianists Stefan Tcherepnin and Marianne Schroeder.

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge & Carl Abrahamsson
Loyalty Does Not End With Death
Loyalty Does Not End With Death is the final instalment of a spoken-word trilogy of albums by Swedish film director Carl Abrahamsson and Throbbing Gristle’s Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, the first part of which, incredibly, dates back to 1990. Recorded in New York and Stockholm over the last couple of years, it matches warm ambience with dark poetry.

Guided By Voices
Warp and Woof
And Another! As Alan Partridge might say. Warp And Woof is Guided By Voices’ ultra-speedy follow-up to February’s double offering, Zeppelin Over China. Robert Pollard and co. have taken their already prolific nature and turbo charged it. This one prides itself on cramming lots of songs into less that 40 minutes, a similar feat to the band’s ‘90s classic Alien Lanes. Let's hope it matches it in quality too. On Guided By Voices Inc.

Kelly Finnigan
The Tales People Tell
Extremely Daptone-y debut soul album from Kelly Finnigan. After half a life time of working in just about every position in the music industry, Finnigan is taking the lead on The Tales People Tell. His is an incredibly soulful voice, imbued with pain and passion, and makes for a very deep listen. The sort of songs you assume must be classics. On Colemine.

Josh Ritter
Fever Breaks
All-American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter has teamed up with Jason Isbell for new LP Fever Breaks. The Idaho native’s tenth LP is a record of countrified Americana - or is it Americana-fied country? - with designs on the big leagues. Sounds expensive either way. Fever Breaks is one for the Springsteen fanatic in all of us.

Helms Alee
Noctiluca
Sargent House (Deafheaven, Dylan Carson) drop the latest LP from Seattle noise-rock lifers Helms Alee. Five full-lengths in the band continue to make one hell of a racket for a three piece. There’s a nice sort of Nirvana-gone-math vibe to Noctiluca’s heavier moments - opener ‘Interachnid’, for instance. At its most melodic Noctiluca gives off a bit of an early-R.E.M. vibe - but if R.E.M. were, like, Shellac instead.

Edson Frederico
Edson Frederico E A Transa
If you're one of the 585 people who want this on discogs but don't want to pay the £494 asking price, you're in luck. Music On Vinyl have reissued Edson Frederico's E A Transa, one of the few albums Frederico ever release.

Ian Brown
Unfinished Monkey Business
Everyone thinks he looks like a monkey anyway so Ian Brown ran with the theme for his first solo album. After the disaster that was the Stone Roses last few years, Unfinished Monkey Business was way better than it had any right to be and includes Brown's possible solo high water mark 'Corpses In Their Mouths' amongst other lo-fi and funky songs.

Art Of Noise
In No Sense? Nonsense!
In No Sense? Nonsense! by Art Of Noise was the band's third album and released in 1987. By this time the band were a duo of Anne Dudley, the only constant member, and J.J. Jeczalik with Paul Morley, Trevor Horn and Gary Langan having left. The band were influential on the world of electronic music. 'Ransom In The Sand' was sampled by Leftfield on the track 'Melt' from Leftism. On Music On Vinyl.

Miles Davis
Miles In The Sky
Miles In The Sky by Miles Davis was originally released in 1968. It was the first time Davis introduced rock to jazz thus creating fusion. His band at this point was pretty amazing with Wayne Shorter on sax, Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams on drums, Herbie Hancock on keyboards and George Benson on guitar. Sheeesh! 180g vinyl reissue on Music On Vinyl.

UT
Conviction
Reissue of UT's debut album Conviction. By 1986 the band had left behind no-wave New York for post-punk London. On the album the trio of Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young, explore the shared space between no-wave, post-punk and even the more improvisational space of free jazz to create songs that are simultaneous taut and expansive.

Sleeparchive
Revised Recordings
Sleeparchive returns to Tresor after six years away. To celebrate the occasion the one born Roger Semsroth has come through with a bumper collection of tools on new EP Revised Recordings. The high-octane techno tracks ‘Frost’, ‘Wood’ and ‘Trust (V.2)’ are classic Tresor fare - think Jeff Mills and Robert Hood. The EP also includes the six ‘Sleep Cycles’ locked grooves, all of which can be blended together in a variety of intriguing ways. Revised Recordings is one for the adventurous DJ in you.

Mr Ben & the Bens
Nova Scotia
I do hope that Mr. Ben and The Bens take their name from my favourite ‘70s kids show. Although, the Lancaster band are a rather young looking bunch and one of them is called Ben, so I’m guessing not. Their new single, Nova Scotia, was inspired by YouTube footage of a music festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia attended by people from literally everywhere and the idea of small places becoming centres for great things happening.

The band is a vehicle for the songwriting talents of Matt Rendon. He has also released a one-off psychedelic album under the name Butterscotch Cathedral. On Trouble In Mind.

Their music takes its cues from the spacey weirdness of Todd Rundgren, the experimental lounge jazz of Gary Wilson and the comforting sounds of Broadcast. After starting as a duo with no aspirations other than to please themselves, members were added and they became a band, hitting the road with STRFKR, Cults and Of Montreal. On Captured Tracks.

They've been doing pretty well for themselves (even playing at Quincy Jones birthday) and there's always room for one jazz album in the Mercury Prize. This will probably have a good a shout as any.

Violent Femmes
Hallowed Ground
Following up a classic like the Violent Femmes debut was always going to be a big ask. However, Gordon Gano had saved some classics for Hallowed Ground, such as Country Death Song, which he wrote in 10th Grade. Gano did use Hollowed Ground to display some of his Christian beliefs, lyrically taking the band in a different direction.

Claude Fontaine
Claude Fontaine
Claude Fontaine - a woman who sounds like her parents used a ‘French names’ bot to generate her birth certificate - clearly loves Jamaican music. She seems to be particularly partial to the golden-age rocksteady, ska and reggae of early Trojan and Studio One. In fact, she’s so enthralled with the scene that she’s made sure her eponymous debut LP sounds like it was cut several decades ago. Over saturated riddims Fontaine coos in a breathy voice that recalls Jane Birkin. All of this makes for an extremely chic listen.

Rather than presenting the sort of ambient/concrete vignettes they've become known for, C.H.R.O.N.O.S. is comprised of five lengthy tracks that are generally richer and prettier than what Arovane & Hatami have come up with in the past. Recent records from Suplington and bvdub spring to mind.

Deadbeat

That approach lead Monteith to creating Waking Life an album whose main purpose is to get things heated at your local dub techno club night. On BLKRTZ.

D'Arcangelo
Somewhere In Time
Suction Records have been combing the archives of Roman braindance legends D’Arcangelo recently, reissuing their eponymous 1996 EP as well as putting out a record of contemporaneous, largely unreleased material entitled II. Somewhere In Time collects those two vinyl on one CD as well as opening and closing with exclusives. As such, the release shows the pair running the full gamut of their sound, from brain-bending industrial electronics to warm, friendly synth-pop.

Serwed
Serwed
Serwed is the eponymous debut from electronic producer OL and Flaty, both of whom are associated with the Gost Zvuk label which releases electronic music from Russia and post-Soviet countries. Asyncro was launched by OL and this LP's mix of dark techno and broken-beat is a great way to kick things off for the label.

Karenn (Blawan & Pariah)
Kind of Green
Producers Blawan and Pariah rejoin forces under their Karenn moniker for a new EP on the Voam imprint. After not releasing for almost 5 years they are back with vigor and a futurist glance on techno. From filthy pounders 'Rek' and 'Salz', to skippier breaks that smack of broken machines whirring into life.

Ruf Dug
Ruf Dug presents The Committee
On this genre-blending five-track EP of dub, soul and jazz, Manchester-based record store owner and producer Ruf Dug assembles a cast of friends and musical fellow-travellers to present The Committee. Recorded in less than a fortnight at the collective’s own studio in South London, this short but immensely fun collection is a testament to the powers of collaboration.

Logos
Imperial Flood
Logos first solo LP for a fair few years is the logical next step after 2013's already legendary Cold Mission. After helping to create the concept of 'weightless' club music, Imperial Flood is a turn toward a watery ambient rave style. It’s an eerie and spectral affair, one that has shades of Plaid and The Caretaker to it. Imperial Flood is an intriguing evolution for Logos, and one that we hope heralds an exciting new chapter in his career.

MIS+RESS
Dispellers
The sophomore record from Brain Wenckebach’s MIS+RESS project arrives courtesy of Sound In Silence (yndi halda, The Gentleman Losers). As it was with 2017’s eponymous LP, Dispellers is a collection of delicate and delightful compositions. This is ambient music that pulls from several of the style’s sub-genres - foggy drones, squiggly electronica and post-rockish loops all crop up across the album. As is always the case with a Sound In Silence release, Dispellers is beautifully packaged.

Sumabörn (Summer Children)
Time Released Sound are releasing the soundtrack for the recent Icelandic film 'Sumarbörn' composed by Kira Kira and Hermigervill. A film that plays with the tension between the real and the imagined, the music very much follows suit in the way that its both playful and dramatic but always beautiful.

Western Edges
Prowess
Listen up, Normanites, this is something you’ll want to hear: Western Edges is the new project from Richard Adams of Hood, The Declining Winter, and Memory Drawings. Prowess, the project's debut, sees him exploring the world of ambient and electronic music and is comparable to bvdub, Aphex Twin and the beatless bits of Boards of Canada. It also soundtracks the area around Saltaire...and we love Saltaire here at Normans! It is his third release on Sound Is Silence following two albums in 2015 by The Declining Winter and Great Panoptique Winter.

Craig Finn
I Need A New War
Third solo outing from Craig Finn, the songwriter who made his name with good-times rock band The Hold Steady. Their material has always been very lyrical, and Finn’s solo material simply allows more space for his words to spread out just the way they need to. I Need A New War has lots of fine new Finn characters, although with less of a specifically American focus that usual. On Partisan Records.

Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation
Sacred Dreams
Psychedelic stalwarts Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation used to call beautiful Stockholm their home but now they've relocated to stinking London and developed round them a gang of London hotshots. It will be interesting to hear how this has affected their sound - Josefin herself goes rambling all over the place trying to explain what is at the hub of the record. I'm still no clearer - safe to say though that we'll hear plenty of deep space rock vibes and vintage electronic pulses.

Prelude / Murder (From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Psycho)
On 7" vinyl comes a wee taster of the iconic soundtrack to big murder event Psycho, including the prelude and the main course itself. Pressed from the original master tapes onto 1960 copies as a weird reference to the year that Hitchcock's classic hit the silver screen, you can now experience those slicing strings in glorious vinyl quality.

JJ Cale
Stay Around
JJ Cale died in 2013. Stay Around the first album of new material to be released posthumously. Cale mastered the art of laid-back blues rock early on, and Stay Around is no exception to that formula. Indeed, lead single, Chasing You, is a typical slice of JJ Cale. He was a huge influence on Eric Clapton who covered two of his songs: Cocaine and After Midnight, but don’t let that put you off.

Droneflower
An odd pairing on paper, but the dreamy indie-folk falsetto of Marissa Nadler and the post-hardcore guitar landscaping of Stephen Brodsky (of Mutoid Man and Cave In among others) makes for one of 2019’s most intriguing collaboration albums. Striking contrasts of light and darkness make for a cinematic experience that’s both beautiful and unsettling.

This time she's stripped it back to a more lo-fi sound. Could be interesting.

When I tell you that So that you might hear me, the third LP from the plum-throated men known collectively as Bear’s Den, will be one of the biggest records of 2019 - well, let’s just say I’m more of an observer at this particular feast.

2018 flick Destroyer was scored by Theodore Shapiro, the composer who had also done the music for Blades Of Glory, Ghostbusters (the new one) and Marley & Me (mercifully the only one). Shapiro paints with watercolours here - many of the tracks feature a single fiddle bedding down in mists of strings, not unlike Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. The Mondo and Lakeshore labels have teamed up to issue the Destroyer OST, a pairing so right that it’s kind of surprising it didn’t happen sooner.
