Nach ihrem für den Polaris Prize nominierten Debüt "Mascarade" (2023) meldet sich die kanadische, in Lissabon lebende Künstlerin Gayance mit "roaming" zurück. Als klangliches Reisetagebuch, das den Bogen von haitianischen Wurzeln über den Londoner Broken Beat bis zur rhythmischen Hitze Brasiliens spannt, ist das neue Album ein Meisterwerk diasporischer Erzählkunst. Indem es energiegeladenen 90er House mit Boogie-Elementen, französischen Texten und spirituellem Widerstand verbindet, zeichnet "roaming" ein Jahrzehnt des Unterwegsseins und der radikalen Selbstbehauptung nach. Es ist eine trotzige und zugleich feierliche Rückgewinnung der eigenen Handlungsmacht einer prägenden Gestalt der globalen elektronischen Musikszene. Mit Gastbeiträgen von Judith Little D, Waahli, Magi Merlin, NARCY und De.Ville.

Der ultimative Weihnachtsklang: Legendärer Chorgesang aus dem King’s College auf Vinyl Erleben Sie mit dieser Vinyl den Inbegriff weihnachtlicher Musik. Sie wurde in der atemberaubenden Akustik der Kapelle des King’s College in Cambridge aufgenommen. Diese LP vereint den legendären Choir of King’s College, Cambridge – den wohl weltweit berühmtesten Weihnachtschor – unter der Leitung von drei seiner bekanntesten Dirigenten: Sir David Willcocks, Philip Ledger und Stephen Cleobury. Von der festlichen Erhabenheit von „Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” und „O Come, All Ye Faithful” bis zur intimen, ergreifenden Schönheit von John Taveners „The Lamb” und Harold Darkes „In the Bleak Midwinter” fängt diese Sammlung den reinen Zauber der Weihnachtszeit im warmen Klang des Vinyl-Formats ein.
Martini Shot is the new album from Danny Scott Lane-a catchy, nostalgic and slightly manic collection that feels a little like one drink too many. Moving between lounge, soul, indie pop and exotica, the record plays more like a mixtape than a single idea, with a distinctly '90s streak running through it.
Lane sings on seven of the album's ten songs, a departure from his largely instrumental past work, and plays drums and percussion for the first time alongside his usual synths, keyboards, guitar and bass. Longtime collaborator David Lackner contributes flute, joined by new collaborators Logan Hone on flute and Katie Jacoby on violin.
Martini Shot marks Lane's second release with Records We Release, following the well-received House of Alice. The result is loose, romantic, restless and a little unpredictable.

Nearly a decade after the acclaimed 2017 release of Hometown, Victor, the mind behind Module One is back with his highly anticipated follow-up album, dropping early November.
Now settled in Berlin, Victor's sound deeply reflects his integration into the city's vibrant cultural cosmos. Moving beyond earlier blueprints, his music has matured into a nuanced, fully developed aesthetic based on the personal reflections, artistic environment of the city, and live performances played and heard. Adding an intimate, personal dimension to the project, Soela and D'Loive lend their delicate vocal touch, weaving seamless melodic textures into Victor's refined production.
The upcoming Album HOMETOWN II stands as both a personal milestone and a captivating new chapter for Module One. Vinyl Tastes Better…
I SPLIT MY ORGAN IN TWOS - a sonic world where animals could speak and parents would never grow old. Music is playing beneath the trees. Creeks are flowing towards the treehouse. Bears are singing and Owls are sailing through the wind like miniature spaceships. Solitude is a chosen path of clarity. And when this world collapses, all memories will vanish. Left behind is the Sting that keeps us separated from the insane.
The debut album I SPLIT MY ORGAN IN TWOS by Munich indie project plainhead is a freak folk inspired rockrecord fusing key aspects of 00s experimental indie with 90s indie rock.
The organic soundscapes remind of yetto-be-refined the Microphones from the album It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water (2000). Acoustic Guitars fuse with the sound of fuzz and distortion. Clarinets and pianos can be found somewhere buried beneath the noise,
while the vocals remain dry and tired in the front. The 18-track double LP features easy-listenable songs such as the single Ghost / Smoke, short playful instrumentals named after animals and long ever-evolving operas such as River and Sunsick. The album was released on Munich local DIY recording label new basement.
Royal Blood, eine der wichtigsten britischen Rockbands ihrer Generation, melden sich heute mit der explosiven neuen Single „Ten Over Ten“ zurück und kündigen ihr lang ersehntes fünftes Studioalbum „Dead Company“ an, das am 6. November bei Warner Records erscheint. „Dead Company“ leitet ein kraftvolles neues Kapitel für das Duo ein, das zuletzt 2023 ein Album veröffentlichte. Nach einer Auszeit vom Rampenlicht gingen Mike Kerr und Ben Thatcher 2025 ins Studio – ohne Deadline, ohne Ablenkungen und mit einem einfachen Ziel: herauszufinden, was mit zwei Personen, 12 Tönen und unendlichen Möglichkeiten machbar ist. Von Royal Blood selbst produziert – oder vielmehr „anti-produziert“ – war es ihr Anliegen, ein Album zu schaffen, das so roh, menschlich und gewaltig wie möglich klingt. „Dead Company“ reduziert alles auf den Kern. Unmittelbar und kompromisslos zeigt es Royal Blood von ihrer kraftvollsten Seite. Die Band ergänzt: „Nachdem wir den Motor von Royal Blood für ein paar Jahre im Leerlauf hatten, haben wir die Drehzahl wieder hochgejagt und spielen mit diesem Album schneller und härter denn je. Geschrieben und aufgenommen mit Blick auf die Bühne, können wir es kaum erwarten, die Songs jahrelang live zu spielen.“ Der erste enthüllte Track, „Ten Over Ten“, ist ein bedrohliches Wüstenrock-Monster im Stil von Motörhead. Text und Vibe wurden dadurch inspiriert, dass der Frontmann für einen Marathon trainierte – es dreht sich somit alles um Ausdauer und das Überwinden der eigenen Grenzen.
Limitierte Vinyl-Prachtausgabe mit umfangreichem Archivmaterial auf 6 LPs. - 31 unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen aus Demos und Sessions. - 33 seltene Bonus-Tracks erstmals auf Vinyl. - Hochpreisiges Sammlerstück für den Indie-Handel.

Some records suggest another version of themselves.
STRIKER SECRET SERVICE is an anonymous white-label series built around that possibility.
For SSS001, Hardrock Striker takes “I Feel So Free” into different territory. Across twelve minutes, the track is dismantled and rebuilt around the pulse of late-'70s electronic disco: sequenced bass, repetition, tension and gradual release. Familiar elements remain, but the arrangement opens out, the machinery takes over and the vocal slowly becomes part of the rhythm itself.
On the reverse, the full instrumental reveals the machinery underneath : an extended DJ tool built for long blends, layering and late-night sets.

Acid Pauli's new album "Mystic Meltdown" is hypnotic mystery, textural mastery, all hurtling through your system at peak velocity, unrelenting yet full of mischief and spirit.
The first full-length Acid Pauli album since 2020's MOD, here the artist, Martin Gretschmann, who you might also remember from Console and The Notwist, reaches out to collaborators, unearths new sounds through travel and then brings it all together with one long, sweeping breath - an album to take in as a whole, to ride its compulsive energy to the end and then back to the start, over and over again.
While the album's been brewing for some time, "It took months and months to find the coherency and the story that this album is telling," Gretschmann recalls, "Arranging the pacing, feeling how the tracks come together into one album", it reads as effortless. It draws from Gretschmann's various musical languages, from the techno, house and ambient of Acid Pauli, even reaching back to the electronica of Console, but it places them in new contexts, at new speeds and in rich, giddy contrasts. Mystic Meltdown feels like endless pleasure, unflagging energy.
It's also an album rich with multiplicity. There are many voices that visit us at the Mystic Meltdown, from Hani Mojtahedy's Kurdish vocal on "Goman (Remix)", through to Lhasa de Sela's "Con Toda Palabra" in Spanish. A sample of Kingdom Molongi's voices opens the title track and returns on "Mystic Feedback" - this feels like a particularly profound connection, given the inspiration that Gretschmann has gleaned from the musical community surrounding the Nyege Nyege Tapes label and organisation over the years. He's also appeared at one of their festivals, by all accounts a revelatory experience.
Sometimes Gretschmann reaches back yet further. "Yes, Caroline" hints at an abstract relationship with the Beach Boys' pop masterpiece, Pet Sounds. Yet the way he draws these various influences into his own music always displays more than a touch of transmutation. Releasing the album on his own label All Is Acid which has recently been undertaking a reissue program of some of Acid Pauli's earlier works, "Mystic Meltdown" feels like a complete expression for Gretschmann; from beginning to end, from creation to reflection. "Building up, going into different spheres and emotions," Gretschmann concludes. "Working through some darker shades, trying to find light. Pouring in to get through."
Bekannt für ihre lebendige, von Gothic geprägte Erzählweise, gleicht das zweite Album der englischen Indie-Folk-Singer/Songwriterin einem Kuriositätenkabinett: Das Übernatürliche verbirgt sich im Alltäglichen, Schönheit existiert Seite an Seite mit dem Grotesken. Musikalisch setzt "Myself and Other Monsters" auf traumartige Arrangements und cineastische Crescendos; die Produktion von Bill Ryder-Jones wechselt zwischen theatralischen Bläserklängen, melancholischen Streichern und eindringlichen Harmonien. Amelia besitzt die Gabe, Ungewöhnliches zeitlos klingen zu lassen. Inspiriert von Gothic-Literatur und der geheimnisvollen Aura alter Horrorfilme, wohnt vielen ihrer Songs eine gewisse Dunkelheit inne.

Amira Elfeky releases her highly anticipated debut album, It Was Only A Dream, via Atlantic Records. The album features her latest single “Breakdown” and follows her acclaimed EPs – Surrender and Skin To Skin – as well as her recent collaboration with I Prevail on “Paradise.”
Love or its absence dominates the intimate songs on the new album from ARBORIST – the musical outlet of Mark McCambridge. Looking For Love, Arborist’s fourth album of exquisitely inventive Americana, places us firmly in his hometown of Belfast, allowing it to act as a microcosm of the wider-world, with all its foibles and charms. We find fictional protagonists scouring the dark corners of the city, wiling-away afternoons in strip clubs, wandering the streets in all weather and reflecting on the harsh reality of modern society, all in search of an elusive love – emphasising our need for it now more than ever.
Looking for Love is ARBORIST’s first album to be self-produced by McCambridge, largely from his home studio in Belfast – and at times it feels like we are in the room with him. It’s a different kind of record for him as previously he has always sought collaboration; whether it be with Kim Deal who chose to sing intertwined harmony on his debut single “Twisted Arrow”, or recording in The Curfew Tower owned by The KLF’s Bill Drummond who described Mark’s songwriting as being “riven with more loss than any record since Leonard Cohen quit this world”, and who Matthew E White and his Spacebomb band collaborated with to such astonishing effect on the previous Arborist LP, 2023’s An Endless Sequence of Dead Zeros, winner of the prestigious Northern Ireland Music Prize. This time, with no outside producer steering the way, McCambridge found that the quiet hours were where he felt most at ease, despite periods of trial and error, and, by his own admission, moments of feeling genuinely lost in it all.
Despite playing many of the parts himself, McCambridge still called upon old friends from the community around him; Spacebomb’s resident bassist Cameron Ralston (Bonnie Light Horseman, Hiss Golden Messenger) again features throughout the record, alongside Eamon Ferris (The Waterboys) on drums, with the great and the good from Belfast’s vibrant music scene. Grainne Meyer plays concert harp and Aga Olek plays violin for the quasi-title track “Looking 4 Love” – an off-kilter love-letter to Belfast. Meilana Gillard provides a sleazy saxophone on “Bye Bye Johnny Cash” – a seedy tale of a man obsessively visiting a dancer in a club, and The Larne Community Youth Choir provide backing vocals for “Go Kill The Fatted Calf” – a song Mark wrote about his son growing up, a take on the parable of the prodigal son, with Jonny Ashe’s blistering guitar solo adding an album highlight. The Errigal Ensemble String Quartet and Aisling Agnew’s breathtaking flute solo feature on “What Is It You’re Asking” – a song about love, or its absence, both personally and universally in these times.
McCambridge was recently honoured with a “Fellowship” by the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's University Belfast where he collaborated with such illustrious names from the literary world as Nick Laird, Caoilinn Hughes and Conor McPherson. Through the University he was given access to the music department's Steinways and pipe organs, and decided to try one out for the album’s centrepiece “I’ve Been A Flaneur”. As Mark explains, "The drone on the pipe organ — and the sound of it starting and stopping — was so visceral that I decided to try a half-written song against it right there and then, and this came out in one take… The song was a breakthrough artistically - I don't think I'll ever record in the same way again after this."
The album was engineered by longtime collaborator Ben McAuley (Van Morrison) and mixed by Jimmy Robertson (Anna Calvi, Beth Gibbons, Fat Dog). The results are staggering, devastating and uplifting in equal measure, calling to mind albums such as Songs Ohia’s Magnolia Electric Co., The Divine Comedy’s Regeneration, The Blue Nile’s Hats and Wilco’s Ode to Joy, as well as early-70s records from John Cale, John Lennon and Bill Fay.
Belfast native Mark McCambridge played his first show as Arborist supporting James Yorkston. A solo tour followed, and impressive performances led to notable support slots alongside Low, Cat Power, Echo & The Bunnymen and Guy Garvey. Arborist's debut single, the Americana-tinged "Twisted Arrow," caught the attention of the critics with an astonishing duet with Kim Deal of The Breeders. The debut album Home Burial (2016) and its follow-up, A Northern View, both received glowing praise, from The Guardian ("instant classic" ----) to MOJO ("devastatingly bleak… upliftingly beautiful" ----) to Uncut (8/10), with BBC 6 Music play from Cerys Matthews, Cillian Murphy, Lauren Laverne, Radcliffe and Maconie and Gideon Coe — and Steve Lamacq calling single "Taxi" "one of those records that makes you immediately stop what you're doing." He went on to even greater success with the 2023 Northern Irish Music Prize winning third LP, An Endless Sequence of Dead Zeroes, which was recorded at SpaceBomb Studios in Virginia with musician and producer Matthew E White. For his fourth LP, Looking For Love, he has signed with Fika Recordings and with a tour approaching in November, 2026 looks set to be a seminal year for the Irish artist.
Doppel-LP, 180g Vinyl. Pearl Flip Horizon. Gatefold Sleeve. BLACK SPACE RIDERS' achtes Studioalbum präsentiert sich als ein scheinender, eklektischer Bastard, der vor Spielfreude, Ideenreichtum und Liebe zum Detail sprüht. Aus dem Besten vieler Genres und unterschiedlicher Jahrzehnte formt die Band eine ganz eigene Klangwelt: psychedelisch, schwer, tanzbar, manchmal zart, manchmal hart, aber stets zutiefst atmosphärisch und drängend, fließend und zugänglich. Konzeptionell fungiert das achte Album als die Kartografie eines schleichenden Zerfalls. Es liefert die Protokolle einer Relaisstation am äußersten Rand - sei es in einer fernen Galaxis oder in den digitalen und sozialen Netzwerken unseres Hier und Jetzt.
Murmuration’ is the low hum made by vast, beautifully choreographed flocks of starlings as they simultaneously flap their wings and take to the sky. Some people say that the frequency of this unique, rumbling, oscillating sound can cure diseases...
One of the most exciting live bands in the UK, British Birds combine the garage-punk energy of Billy Childish, the wry English sophistication of XTC and the witty pop inventiveness of The Lovely Eggs. Like a murmurating flock of starlings, they create a unique sound, and might even be able to cure diseases.
Based in Chorley, Lancashire, British Birds are a resolutely DIY band. Bobby records and mixes all the music; Emma creates all the artwork. Their first two albums were self-released, selling hundreds of copies at gigs and at a few chosen record stores. British Birds didn’t wait for permission to take flight. They just got on with it. Their songs are sophisticated, hard-hitting, and very skilful. It may be DIY, but it’s big and it’s ambitious.
Sessions for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe have followed, along with tours supporting The Bug Club, BC Camplight and Lovely Eggs.
‘Murmurate, Oscillate’ kicks off with Lie Down With Dogs, Stand Up With Fleas, a rousing expression of exasperation at our passivity in the face of lame authority. British Birds are acute observers of the English political scene, shrouding their observations in humour and surrealism. Polka Dot Eyes is another piece of sharp social observation: it portrays Lancashire lads – friends from school – who join the Army and return home physically and mentally damaged. The song is simultaneously disturbing, funny and catchy as hell. From the fog of disinformation and doubt that surrounds us all in 2020s Britian, British Birds embrace the darkness, but with wit and verve – no slogans, no easy answers – and with an energy that helps us escape the mundanity of a declining island. This might all sound a bit bleak, but it’s not: every single one of the songs on this album has a chorus as big as a house.
There are personal songs too: Scary Movies is a poignant description of Bobby and Emma’s grandfather, who delighted in showing them horror films when they were kids – giving them sneak previews of the darkness they’d come to embrace as adults; Just Like Them is a celebration of introversion: it might not be fun, but it’s better than being an idiot. (Paradoxically, any other introverts who hear this song will feel impelled to join in in the chorus.) Blame Game and Thunder Claps examine the darkness inherent in relationships: there is always an impending storm, if you recognise the low hum of the imminent thunder. Once again: the choruses of these songs confound the melancholy sentiment.
You’ll get the same impression if you see British Birds live: Bobby’s ferocious guitar and dark lyrics are counterpointed with Emma’s sometimes haunting, sometimes playful vocal responses and insistent rhythms. You’ll be swept away by the energy of a band who don’t know the meaning of limits. And as the songs get darker and darker the smile on your face gets wider and wider.
The core members of British Birds are siblings Bobby and Emma Townson, working from their HQ-cum-nest in Chorley. Drums are by Dominic Lawson (apart from Michael Aindley on ‘Just Like Them’). Bass is by James Robinson.
British Birds will be embarking on a headline tour of the UK in early 2027.
And they can't. Tiny things are important - This house could be anywhere, These things could happen to anyone." With this reflection, Charlie Parr introduces the characters of Rooming House, a conceptual folk opera that chronicles the lives of Upper Midwesterners through his quietly raucous, deeply rooted, and empathetic blues. These are songs of lost memories and hardship, but also of the improvised acts of kindness that help neighbors make do. Joined by celebrated drummer and fellow Minnesotan Dave King (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple), Parr cements his role as one of the great troubadours of our time with an album that becomes its own small yet profound offering of care. * "A gritty blend of Delta blues and Depression- era roots music soaked in his hardscrabble voice. It's a sacred realm of folk wisdom and sorrowful vulnerability." - Rolling Stone * "Expertly-picked resonator guitar and lyrics that puncture the soul" - NPR * "Arguably America's finest living troubadour." - Songlines (UK) * Compelling character-driven portraits on a folk opera concept album that chronicles the lives of Upper Midwesterners through his quietly raucous, deeply rooted, and empathetic blues. Driving, groove- driven resonator guitar pulls you in. Working through the material realities of our contemporary moment but also weaving that narrative with his hypnotic sound reveals the near-mythic scale importance of these stories

At 23, daine has spent the last few years drifting between scenes faster than the internet could fully name them: digicore, emo revivalism, hyperpop, bloghouse nostalgia. But "In Endless Awe & Agony", her debut album arriving this November, feels less like another pivot than a consolidation - the point where all those fragments collapse into something strangely singular.
Dirty Sound Magnet's album to ease the soul. An album that showcases the depth of DSM's music. Between modern folk and ambitious art rock reminiscent of Sgt Pepper by the Beatles and early Pink Floyd and David Bowie.

On Dummy’s new album, do you love the color of the sky?, the Los Angeles-based 5-piece deliver a breathtaking piece of work that introduces new textures and rhythms to their already varied and refined catalog. For the band’s third album, and first for new label home Polyvinyl, the group split time between self-recording at their home studio as well as Studio 22, linking up with frequent collaborator and engineer Joo-Joo Ashworth (Corridor, Automatic, Spiral XP). The band focused on intentionality and experimentation, exploring downtempo dance beats and electronic music while pushing the guitar as far as they could, using new self-sampling and processing techniques. Percussionist Alex Ewell’s overall sound design and production skills can be heard across the album, with layered drum sounds and rhythmic tremolo techniques shining throughout. Tracks like “Full Spectrum Dominance” and “Alluvial Fan” showcase the band’s tasteful pop sensibilities, while closing track “Heaven’s What You Make Of
It” features perhaps the strongest vocal delivery yet from vocalist/keyboardist
Emma Maatman. Additionally, the dynamic exchange between guitarists Joe Trainor and Nathan O’Dell is absolutely gorgeous, adding a new layer of immersion and directness that is unlike anything the band has done before. The result is Dummy’s most ethereal and sincere record to date, with more feminine and delicate undertones that sit beautifully alongside the gritty and noisy textures the band has become known for. Dummy has been praised in numerous outlets such as Paste, Stereogum, Aquarium Drunkard and Pitchfork, who described their second album, Free Energy, as “the
sound of a band turning all its potential energy into music that’s dazzlingly kinetic and powerful." The band has toured the US, UK, and EU extensively, with festival appearances at Austin Psych Fest, Treefort Music Festival, and others. In addition to larger outlets and festivals, the band’s strong ties to community and DIY ethos are ever-present, oftentimes preferring to play and connect with different local artists on tour, uplifting those around them while shining a light on the history of independent music.

Reissue der vierten Solo-LP des australischen Songwriters Ed Kuepper, "Today Wonder" (1990), eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Schlagzeuger Mark Dawson. Die lange vergriffene LP enthält drei seiner bekanntesten Songs: "Everything I’ve Got Belongs To You", "Horse Underwater" und "Eternally Yours". "Insbesondere ist es die Art der Darbietungen – intim, ruhig, aber dennoch spannungsgeladen und kraftvoll. Das Endergebnis ist ein wunderbares Album." – allmusic.com****
Neues Livealbum der Indie-Ikone Ed Kuepper, aufgenommen 2023 in Melbourne während seiner erster Tour seit über einem Jahrzehnt, bei der er mit kompletter Band sein Solomaterial in den Mittelpunkt stellte. Ein mitreißender Auftritt mit Musik aus Eds 50-jähriger Karriere in erstklassiger Besetzung (u.a. mit Schlagzeuger Mark Dawson und Bassist Peter Oxley (Sonnyboys). In den 1970ern läutete Kuepper mit The Saints die Punk-Ära ein (noch vor The Clash, The Damned, Sex Pistols), gründetet später die Post-Punk-Formation Laughing Clowns und begann 1985 seine Solokarriere.
Wewantsounds it delighted to announce a deluxe reissue of Frank Foster's 'The Loud Minority' LP. Released on Bob Shad's Mainstream Records in 1972, it's a landmark album and one of the key political works of the 70s. Featuring an all-star cast of superb musicians including Elvin Jones, Stanley Clarke, Airto, Cecil Bridgewater and Marvin 'Hannibal' Peterson, it is also Dee Dee Bridgewater's earliest full recordings. This special edition includes a 20-page booklet featuring amazing unseen session photos recently unearthed, an introduction by Judd and Mia Apatow (Shad's grandchildren), an essay by British journalist Kevin Le Gendre and an exclusive interview of Cecil and Dee Dee Bridgewater by Paul Bowler. The album's original artwork as been recreated with original photos and the audio newly remastered from the original tapes.
When he recorded "The Loud Minority" in 1972 for Bob Shad's Mainstream Records, Frank Foster had been a solid sax player for nearly twenty years, playing with the likes of Donald Byrd, Thelonious Monk and The Count Basie Orchestra. For this special session, he gathered a stellar line up of old fellow musicians like Elvin Jones and Harold Mabern and young turks including Stanley Clarke, 'Hannibal' Marvin Peterson, Cecil and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Cecil Bridgewater remembers: "Frank, his thing was, any group that he had he wanted to give young musicians a chance." As usual for Mainstream sessions, the studio was booked for two days and the record was cut live, supervised by Bob Shad's trusted men, arranger Ernie Wilkins and engineer Carmine Rubino.
What came out of these two days is now the stuff of legend, four long funky jams fuelled by two distinct line ups playing simultaneously augmented with a powerful 6-piece brass section led by Foster. The album kicks off with the anthemic "The Loud Minority" (sampled by United Future Organization and DJ Shadow) with its long brass introduction followed by Dee Dee Bridgewater fiery poem, a politically charged statement expressing the fight for civil rights, before the whole group comes together for a funky explosion clocking at 14 minutes. "That was a period where we were really into our African consciousness" reminisces Dee Dee in the interview.
The album continues with the funky uptempo "Requiem for Dusty" while "J.P.'s Thing" adopts a slightly more spiritual feel, with a beautiful Fender Rhodes solo and Foster's soprano sax improvisation. The album ends with "E.W. Beautiful People", a long dreamy improvisation climaxing with Dee Dee Bridgewater's poignant vocals.
The Loud Minority is a key militant jazz manifesto and one of the landmark jazz funk albums of the 20th Century. The album was recorded in two days but its legacy lives on and still resonates loudly in the BLM days. Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue this major works with newly remastered audio and a deluxe 20-page booklet full of breathtaking unseen session photos and insightful texts telling the whole story of this superb album.

Indigo Sparkes drittes Album "There Is A Light On The Horizon Line" auf dem eigenen Label Everwilde Records wurde von John Parish produziert, bekannt für seine langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit PJ Harvey, und mit renommierten Musikern wie Adrian Utley (Portishead) aufgenommen. Musikalisch zeigt sich Sparke von ihrer bisher weitläufigsten Seite. Die Intimität und emotionale Wucht der beiden Vorgänger, "Echo" (2021) & "Hysteria" (2022), treffen auf einen rohen, unmittelbaren und instinktiven Bandsound, inspiriert von 90er Alternative-Rock. Inhaltlich fängt es eine Künstlerin an einem Lebenswendepunkt als junge Mutter ein: zwischen altem und neuem Ich, solo und Familie, Intimität und Weite – und öffnet die Tür zu dem bislang ehrgeizigsten Kapitel ihrer Karriere.
"Ein kleiner, dunkler Stern voller Intimität und Intensität." – Pitchfork zu "Echo" in der Liste der besten unterschätzten Alben des Jahres 2021

In a world that buckles and cracks under our calamitous weight, something at once old and beautiful, bitter and malign, stirs just a shade below what can be seen. It had dreamt of the end of things, and tasted there sweet emptiness, but now a new hominid stench has disturbed its slumber.
So keenly it ponders, un-lidding an eye, and within each potent coil desires fester, many and urgent. And so it untangles, and organises, and lurches upwards like a whale; bloated, rotten and desperate to breathe.
Emily and Joe have caught glimpses of that which lurks beneath. As each has struggled to make sense of what they have seen, they have been dragged inexorably into a frightening new reality; a shadow world of lurid horrors, where nothing is as it ought to be. Yet they have witnessed great beauty too, a joy stark and profound, and an addiction is growing.

James Blunt schaltet ab – und schlägt mit seinem achten Studioalbum Airplane Mode ein neues Kapitel auf. Nach weltweiten Megahits wie „You’re Beautiful“ und „Goodbye My Lover“ liefert der britische Singer-Songwriter 12 brandneue Songs, die gewohnt meisterhaft emotionale Tiefe mit seinem unverkennbaren Augenzwinkern verbinden. Aufgenommen mit seiner eingespielten Live-Band in den Pig Music Studios in Banbury, zeigt Airplane Mode einen gewohnt ehrlichen, aber auch spürbar befreiten Künstler. Von mitreißenden Sommer-Singles wie „Tastes Like Summer“ bis hin zu berührenden Hymnen wie „Weight Of It All“ zeigt Blunt die gesamte Bandbreite seines Könnens.
Swiss quintet Sunday, June present " Cinema ", their second album, recorded at the legendary Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, England. Produced by Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers), " Cinema " is a luminous record with deep emotional layers, traversing psychedelic rock, dream pop, and indie rock, an album steeped in nostalgia, self-discovery, the redemptive power of beauty, and the profound joy of playing together. " Cinema " moves in the space where memory and desire blur into one. Drawing its central metaphor from the moving image, the album frames love, nostalgic, imagined, never quite realized, as a succession of interior scenes, each a fragment of an unfinished film.
A genre- blurring statement born from bedrooms and late- night studio sessions, the album fuses live drums, analogue synths, samples, and dense percussion into something critics struggled to pin down - baggy grooves meet electro-pop meets rave culture. Originally designed as an extension of the band's unpredictable live shows, Harder Than It Should Be captures a rotating cast of collaborators and a core four-piece that expanded into an eight-member spectacle. Tracks like Atom Bomb City, Cut It Loose and the cult single These Boys Are Athletes (featuring Bis vocalist Manda Rin) earned radio play and industry buzz - yet the album itself was never formally released. Recovered from early recordings and demos, this reconstruction reflects the original intent: a high- energy journey mirroring the band's live intensity. A document of a moment when MySpace buzz, indie discos and electro experimentation collided in small venues and word-of-mouth scenes.
