Another varied set of styles with some huge forthcoming albums in the mix.
A Sea Change tone to this week's preorder rundown, with both Sinead O'Brien and Soccer96 announcing new releases that have us hot under the collar.
Sinead O'Brien
Time Bend and Break The Bower
Chess Club
Full debut album from Sinead O'Brien and it is a stonker! Dan Carey is on production and we think this is going to win many admirers to match the already glowing plaudits.
Soccer96
Inner Worlds
Moshi Moshi
Hot on the heels of Dopamine, The Dynamic Duo are back in flying form with guests and ALL the good vibes.
Kurt Vile
(watch my moves)
Fiction / Verve
Ain't nobody drawls, like Kurt from Philly drawls. We've only heard about half of this one, but it's got a lush flow. We also have a limited Emerald Colour Vinyl pressing.
Ibeyi
Spell 31
XL Recordings
The third album from Afro-Cuban-French twins Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz. Vocally this sounds incredible, especially when their voices cross. Magic.
O Yuki Conjugate
A Tension of Opposites: Vol. 1 & 2
World of Echo
A gloriously spacious and mystical split album from the OYC duo. Released via fellow shop buds World of Echo, who never miss a beat.
Tomberlin
i don't know who needs to hear this...
Saddle Creek
Second studio LP from Sarah Beth Tomberlin. The first one was a real cult find, we've got a feeling this is going to really make a lot of friends.
Black Doldrums
Dead Awake
Fuzz Club
Debut LP from North London-based group Black Doldrums. Richly dark production.
Field Works
Stations
Temporary Residence Ltd
Really stunned by this one already. Natural tones and all sorts of complicated beats and tones. Amazing roster of guests, too.
Also announced this week, forthcoming releases from; Blanck Mass, Stromae, Moderat, Orville Peck, Emeli Sandé, Pink Mountaintops and Blue Lab Beats. Soul Jazz have announced a new Studio One Dub compilation that has us excited, also Numero with the thoroughly excellent looking V4 Visions: Of Love & Androids compilation.
We also have a wealth of reissues, including; The White Stripes, Swans, Phi-Psonics, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Jackie McLean and Hank Mobley.
