It’s a serious return to general record shop business and we have so much to play you…

Viagr Aboys boys is the big return - and career high - from Swedish punks, Viagra Boys. Their fourth album collects together all the elements that have made them so enduring - crate digging punk fury, off-kilter blasts of synth and gestures of electroclash, the odd sax squark - and swirled them into an ever more furious whirl. It is funny, it is brutal and it is soaked in brashness. Record of the Week and a proper tirade!

+ Available on exclusive Blue and White Marble colour vinyl.

Totality sees Joshua Abrams' ensemble Natural Information Society join forces with Bitchin Bajas for a captivating blend of ecstatic minimalism and dynamic sound. Divided into “space” and “time,” both sides offer communal, principled playing that blurs the edges with warmth. Oh, Lisa Alvarado’s sleeve painting is also stunning!

The sounds of the Chicago underground. This one really is an evolving trip of tones, drones and something in between. We love it!

Weirdo is the second LP from visionary producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray. She is an artist we have always followed with keen interest, but this album is such a bold step forward. Whilst still keeping contact with the jazz world, it’s the vital and eclectic mixture of styles, genres and tones here that really takes it somewhere. She produced it entirely in her South London flat… Which is quite frankly ridiculous when you hear it. A hugely enjoyable and seriously impressive album.

+ Available on exclusive double Clear colour vinyl.

Time Indefinite finds Nashville guitarist William Tyler embracing lo-fi textures and emotional vulnerability, crafting ambient folk that mirrors the disquiet and uncertainty of recent years. Built from cassette sketches and distant collaborations, this is a really moving album.

A stark and searching new chapter from one of America’s most singular guitarists.

+ Available on limited double Tri-Stripe colour vinyl.

Virginia rapper Fly Anakin releases (The) Forever Dream on LEX and we have been knocked a little bit sideways. The guest-filled collection is diverse, but always focused around his voice. Sonically it is so sunny; with colourful analogue sounding samples and blurry soul cinematics. Man, you wait to listen to this one in the sun. This should be absolutely huge, really brilliant.

+ Available on limited Pale Blue colour vinyl.

Absolutely slamming the stereo already is Dance Music for Bad People, the all new set from Chicago house veteran Jamal Moss as Hieroglyphic Being. Man is it ever good. It really swims through the reverbs with proper all-night basslines. This is the dancefloor record you’ve been waiting for.

Light-Space Modulator is a new collaboration between the ethereally-voiced Marlene Ribeiro of GNOD and electronic producer Shackleton. Their debut, The Rising Wave, is often a little bit scary when it’s pretty and a little bit disconcerting when it’s calm, pattering along with sweet chants, whispers and richly textured music and production. Such a unique listening experience, absolutely fantastic.

Pink Silence is the rousing return from Glasgow-based twin-sibling duo, Cloth. We worked with the band on a Dinked Edition so we’ve been enjoying this album for quite a while now and love how it has subtly sounded different as the seasons have changed. The production is really propulsive, with gorgeous flourishes and Rachael’s whispery vocals are really lush.

Salami Rose Joe Louis — the alias of multi-instrumentalist Lindsay Olsen — returns with Lorings, a vivid, off-kilter dive into experimental dream pop. Such glorious DIY charm, it is all built around her longtime collaborator, a Roland MV8800 sampler affectionately dubbed FunFunFun! A gorgeous headspace.

Chicago-born drummer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Titus releases From What Was Will Grow A Flower on Sooper Records and it’s another of the week’s swooners. Blending more straightforward songwriting with jazz and experimental sounds, each track really creates a mood and this one is really engaging throughout.

+ Available on Opaque Powder Blue colour vinyl.

Mortal Primetime is the fourth album from trio Sunflower Bean. The production is really fantastic as they traverse between alt-rock, dreamy pop, more acoustic tones and some straight out, jacked up power ballads. It sure is an easy one to like.

+ Available on limited double Red vinyl, with a bonus 12" and a signed postcard.

The Moonlandingz return in full chaotic form with No Rocket Required, a wired, genre-hopping album loaded with swagger, satire, and a raw pulse of urgency. Guest turns from Nadine Shah, Iggy Pop, Jessica Winter, and Ewen Bremner add to the wild ensemble feel, but at the heart is Johnny Rocket — Lias Saoudi in his many guises — crooning, snarling and driving this one forward.

Also this week; Live at Panorama Hotel captures Belarusian icons Molchat Doma in glorious live form; such a sound. Màiri Morrison & Alasdair Roberts collaborate with Pete Johnston & Friends for the hugely enjoyable Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads From Nova Scotia. Makes Me Great Again / Out Of Body is the new, limited edition 10” single from The Brian Jonestown Massacre, the band's first new recordings for two years. Jensen McRae returns with I Don't Know How But They Found Me! and her voice is really quite magnificent. The always-excellent Deerhoof release the rockin’ and Frankenstein-inspired Noble And Godlike In Ruin. Swedish theatrical rockers Ghost return with SKELETÀ, which hasn’t quite arrived yet, but we can feel it about to land. Hollywood maverick Jeff Goldblum joins with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra for the ludicrously charming Still Blooming. Luster is the dreamy 4AD debut from Irish musician Maria Somerville.

Lastly today, Rebecca Lucy Taylor returns as Self Esteem with her all new, A Complicated Woman. Stock has just landed and we’ve only had one listen, but she is shooting from the hip and there are pop hooks and proper cackles.

+ Available on Exclusive Red colour vinyl.

The week's compilations and reissues are also stellar and we shall shortly be telling you more about; Rilo Kiley, Julie Doiron, Mk.Gee, ‘Gather in the Mushrooms’, Isaac Hayes and a ton of essential restocks.
