Half a dozen, big-tip, new albums that honestly couldn’t sound less like one another. A great week.

This week’s new releases are front-loaded with a couple of very special Dinked Editions.

Firstly, Halo On The Inside is the spectacular new record from Chicago-based songwriter and composer Haley Fohr as Circuit des Yeux. Her voice is superb, full of macabre energy, but also vibrant and powerful as she glides over the top of the throbbing synths and the horror film-esque textures. Experimental tones and sonics, but equally some of her most instantly gratifying songs to date. Vast, hugely impressive and our Record of the Week.

+ Available as a limited Dinked Edition including; Transparent petrol colour vinyl, a bonus 7 single, a signed print and gold foil numbering.

Fun’s Over is the full debut LP from wonk-pop 7-piece KEG and it is absolutely fantastic. Brittle, clattering guitars, floating synths, warm brass tones, propulsive rhythms and honestly just hundreds of other weird cues and directions. On ‘I’d Fly Tip For You’ they sing “I’m in love with Robery Wyatt”, and it all suddenly makes sense. Pop maximalism of the highest order. Very highly recommended indeed.

+ Available as a limited Dinked Edition including; Clown Red x Midnight Blue Galaxy colour vinyl, signed KEG lino print and a cut-out-and-keep mask.

Dead Channel Sky is the vital return of experimental hip hop outfit clipping. and it really is quite extraordinary listening. Industrial textures and computer soundtrack cyberpunk aesthetics are the main palette, but it moves around at such a wild pace with real mixtape energy. As ever, Daveed Diggs’ vocals and pace are just wild.

+ Available on limited, double Pink colour vinyl.

The iconic Throwing Muses release the all-new Moonlight Concessions album this week on Fire Records. Produced by the band’s Kristin Hersh, it is billed very much as a “back to basics”, and sonically there is a certainly timeless quality. With tense strumming and subtle ebbs and flows, it is relatively straightforward in terms of arrangements, but Hersh’s voice is sounding fantastic and there are lots of weird little noises to keep this one rolling along.

Based in Berlin but creating a vibrant sound that completely transcends any national borders, Derya Yıldırım and Grup Şimşek release Yarın Yoksa this week on Big Crown Records and it is absolutely the year’s best Anatolian folk psych bangers yet! Huge, evocative sounds with winding rhythm lines and a lush mixture of traditional and experimental. This one really does have a vibe.

+ Available on exclusive Purple vinyl.

Loraine James returns on Ghostly International this week with her second LP under the Whatever The Weather name. Thematically focused again on temperature and climate change, whereas the first LP was focused on glacials, WTWII is about desert climes and there is a hot and scorched quality to much of the album. Gorgeous ambience, cut-up collages of field records and warbled beats, her ability to paint with the sonics is just unparalleled. This is just so impressive.

+ Available on limited, Dark Green colour vinyl.

Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation is the tenth solo album from Edwyn Collins. The production is just gorgeous, free flowing and vibrant. Collins is also a joyous centrepoint, musing on life and love and all sorts else.

+ Includes a limited postcard pack.

Acclaimed sitar player, producer and composer Anoushka Shankar releases Chapter III: We Return To Light, the third and final instalment of the trilogy of mini-albums via Nils Frahm’s LEITER label.

Also in the racks at Drift this week; To celebrate the 15th anniversary of her award-winning debut LP, Florence + The Machine joined Jules Buckley and his Orchestra back in September to record Symphony of Lungs (BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall). Liverpool-based band Courting return with Lust for Life, or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’. We have some limited, signed prints to partner up with the vinyl format. The Overview is the eighth studio LP from revered songwriter and producer Steven Wilson, available on limited Mint vinyl. NYC rock band Bambara return on Bella Union with their fifth LP, Birthmarks. We have a limited, Red vinyl pressing that includes a zine. Bolton songwriter Toria Wooff releases her gothic self-titled LP and this one really is well worth taking some time out for.

Lastly this week, Uhlmann Johnson Wilkes is the debut album from a new trio by LA-based musicians Gregory Uhlmann, Josh Johnson, and Sam Wilkes. You’ll recognise them from recent International Anthem Recording Co. classics like sml and Jeff Parker ETA IVtet, but this new take on progressive, electro-acoustic chamber music is really wild. It has such a swing to it, precise noises and improvised progressions as it all unfolds. Some utterly magic moments, loving this.

+ Available on Concord Grape colour vinyl.
