Review: Metronomy mark their signing to Ninja Tune with a new single that comes not long after their Posse EP Volume 1, a collection of tunes all made in collaboration with up-and-coming artists like Biig Piig, Spill Tab, Sorry, Brian Nasty and Folly Group. This one is another collaboration, this time with Pam Amsterdam. 'Nice Town' deals with the lead singer's own battles such as "internal versus the external or, intangible versus the tangible." It is a delightfully snappy dance-pop ditty with great and tight synth sequences, old-school rap vocals and nice broken early electro beats. Metronomy and Alain Ogue add their own remixes to a great label debut.

Review: Pearl Jam's latest is an up-tempo rocker with a catchy melody and introspective lyrics about the search for meaning in a dark and uncertain world. Full of imagery of darkness and light, the song builds to a powerful crescendo at the end. The B-side of the single features an instrumental version of the song, is just as powerful as the original, and it gives fans a chance to appreciate the song's intricate musical arrangements. A reminder that Pearl Jam are still one of the most vital and relevant bands in rock music today.

Review: DJ Slow, JA-Jazz, and Jame Spectrum may not be household names across the world, but those who follow Pepe Deluxe seem willing to follow them to the ends of multiple sonic spectrums, and then push through into the Other Side together. The trio, better known as Finnish electronic music obscuros Pepe Deluxe, have been making beats and other pieces since around 1996, first garnering a name for themselves with an infectious combination of hip hop, breakbeat, downtempo and big beat.By 2007, when they released their third album, Spare Time Machine, the remit had changed, slightly, and was less interested in sampling, more concerned with revitalising old school music genres like psyche, baroque pop and surf rock. Freedom Flag brings us up to date, circa 2024, and it seems there's enough room for both approaches, with this two-tracker rooted in everything from trip hop to brass-topped indie.

Review: Emotional Rescue returns to early 1980s Manchester with the previously unreleased music of Michael James Pollard and his beautiful distillation of indie pop in Too Confusing and bedsit cover version of Ashford and Simpson's Surrender.
While studying photography at Manchester Polytechnic, (MJ) Pollard lived and played in a band in a ramshackle house in Walley Range. In the cellar studio he would write and record his own songs using their guitars, fretless bass and keys, as well as his own Casio VL-Tone VL-1 and Simmons Clap Trap to augment his drums onto a 4 track TEAC.
By 1983, and now solo, he was recording out of Dislocation Dance's studio (ERC111), had secured a Peel Session and via Factory Records' Lindsay Reade, was discussing with Fundacao Atlantica about releasing an album.
Working with singer Sioux Goddard as a duo, they put down 8 songs in 2 weeks in summer '84. However, Fundacao Atlantica's financial difficulties and soon closure meant the songs were lost until now.
Recovered off the original tapes and lovingly restored, Too Confusing captures the optimism of the sessions, a summer love melody of forlorn youth. Surrender accompanies, recorded back in that cellar in '81, with friend Stephanie Danziger on vocals, its lo-fi simplicity is a perfect take on an all-time classic, making this a newly prized gem of British indie pop history.

The minimalist red sleeve with debossed cover adds a tactile dimension, making it a must-have for collectors and fans seeking a tangible connection to Portishead's live artistry.

Review: London retro soul specialists PREP almost feel lost in the 2020s. Everything from their sound, which is pretty unique in today's musical landscape, to release and merchandise artwork screams mid-late-20th Century modernism, owing as much to the crimson and purple-hued aesthetics of classic Miami iconography as anything more recent years have offered us. Meanwhile, aurally speaking, their output straddles lines between funk, soul, synth pop and yacht (those who know, will know), all of which have an ability to conjure strong images of easier, simpler times gone by. 'As It Was', a cover of the Harry Styles pop anthem, takes things into particularly seductive, slap bass and sax infused atmospheres, the air thick with intimate suggestion, which may or may not conjure thoughts of George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' letting loose at a boat party.

Review: Some lucky folk managed to bag a copy of this when it was released as part of the Screamadelica 30th Anniversary 12" Singles Box. Suffice to say, many didn't. It's also probably a given to point out the British and global music scenes are still reeling from the untimely and sudden passing of Andrew Weatherall, a studio mastermind and club DJ icon who managed to influence everyone from ambient and techno heads to indie kids, classical fans and heads in just about any other sonic avenue you care to mention. Arguably, though, his most beloved work was around the Screamadelica era, carving out a landmark crossover album from Primal Scream's original material, making stars out of everyone involved and timeless, decade-spanning tracks from singles like 'Come Together' and 'Loaded'. 'Shine Like the Stars' brought that album to a close in spectacular, trippy, emotive style, and has never left our hearts since.

Review: Primal Scream's Dixie-Narco EP was released in 1992 and is an often rather overlooked gem from the band's output in the early 90s. It was laid down at Memphis's Ardent Studios and was an experimental continuation of the sounds they had explored on their legendary Screamadelica album. Everything form country blues to acid house to rock gets distilled across the four tunes, and there is even a rare Dennis Wilson cover included. The EP has long been out of print and very hard to find but thanks to this special Record Store Day reissue - a first since 1992 - fans can now add it to their collection.

Review: Ian Weatherall and Duncan Gray's Sons Of Slough project has done plenty of tinkering in the intersection between club and dub music, and somewhere between all that Scottish rock perennials Primal Scream often find their own comfortable nook to stretch out. As such, this 12" seems like a natural course of events, even if it came about through the pure whimsy of a day-dreaming muso (Weatherall) wondering what would happen if an obscure bonus track got stripped down and sent through the echo chamber. Bobby Gillespie was into the idea, and this record was the end result. One for all Balearic head nodders and soundsystem meditators alike.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart (15th Anniversary Edition) (limited silver nugget vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: LPSLR 89C. Rel: 08 Jan 25
Indie/Alternative
Review: This noise pop group's impeccable debut album is being re-released as part of its 15th anniversary celebrations. The Kip Berman-led band burst out of the 00s Brooklyn indie scene and onto global cult success when it was released thanks to their idiosyncratic style and nods to the likes of pre-Creation My Bloody Valentine, The Pastels and Black Tambourine. The record shows an aesthete's ear for producing stylish guitar tones and drum sounds as they conjure a dreamy, atmospheric wall of sound, which strikes the right balance between shoegaze and jangle pop. With music as taut, melodic and viscerally enveloping as this, it's no wonder Berman's life changed irrevocably after its release. Rarely do debut albums gain this level of acclaim and honouring it with an anniversary edition and tour is the righteous thing to do.

Review: Dream pop loving indie rockers The Pains of Being Pure at Heart announced their reformation last year, having previously called it a day at the end of 2019. While we wait for new music, former label Slumberland Records - the imprint that first pushed the New York combo into the international spotlight - has offered up this slender retrospective focusing on the band's formative years at the tail end of the noughties. Atmospheric, with a uniformly 'big' (if lo-fi) sound (they loved reverb back then), the collected cuts sound like they were recorded at the turn of the nineties rather than at the end of the noughties. Highlights are plentiful though, with our picks including jangly anthem 'Side Ponytail', the brilliantly titled 'Kurt Cobain's Cargidan' and the effortlessly upbeat and life-affirming swell of 'Higher Than The Stars'.

With eight captivating tracks, the long-player takes listeners on an immersive electronic journey. Mike Simonetti (Italians Do It Better) and Elizabeth Wight (Silver Hands) formed the outfit in 2015, gaining acclaim with their debut album. It showcases Wight's personal experiences and thoughts through her lyrics, accompanied by techno-infused melodies that lean towards rock influences. From dreamlike melodies to haunting productions, the album seamlessly blends electronica with pop touches.

Review: This expanded edition of Pale Saints' third and final album Slow Buildings is a real doozy for fans of the English alt-rock and shoegaze outfit. The original is a long-out-of-print classic that has been sympathetically remastered here after originally arriving back in 1994. The album captures their transition into more open, melodic territory while retaining the dense guitar textures and experimental spirit of their earlier work. Meriel Barham's vocals shine as caller as always, particularly on standout single 'Fine Friend,' which was adapted from Persian Rugs' 1981 track. This two-disc reissue includes the Fine Friend EP and a curated trove of unreleased demos and tracks that make it an essential addition for completists.

Review: Britain is on the very cusp of the post-Thatcher era, mistakes not necessarily learnt from the past 11 years, but certainly evidence mounting for the failure of individualism and the importance of communities. Change is needed, and change is what the next decade would bring. Some of which began with this album, unveiled in 1989, now regarded among the best shoegaze outings of all time. The label doesn't sit that well with us, though. There's just too much else happening with Pale Saints' pacy, expansive and utterly compelling debut. Post punk accents, eruptions into (and introductions based on) pure noise, and surrealist dream pop. Presented here in a new collector's edition, featuring recordings from the band's seminal John Peel session and demos, we couldn't think of a band so deserving of being discovered by a new generation, and re-celebrated by those who were there at the time.

Review: 4AD turn back the clock to take a look at Pale Saints' breakthrough album, In Ribbons. Striking a note between the prevalent shoegaze of the era and 4ADs earlier ethereal sound, this is a record which absolutely conjures a specific moment in time and yet has aged very well. In the bittersweet pop nous of tracks like 'Thread Of Light' you can hear contemporaries like Lush, but equally Meriel Barham's vocal delivery reaches through time and lands with as much conviction now as it did back then. With a smart balance between bruising riffs and dreamy atmospherics, In Ribbons sounds in rude health on this remastered, commemorative edition and any shoegaze or early indie fan should be all over it.

Review: In most cases, a World Of Hassle is certainly not something you want, but we're sure you'll make an exception for this debut solo album by Alan Palomo, best known as the leader of the synth-pop band Neon Indian. Thoroughly on-brand for Palomo, this surprise LP flaunts just ten swanky, funky vocal disco cuts, tinged with the legacy of glam and jazz, and glimmering with the overzealous egoism of history's most volcaninc rockstars. Alan's versatile voice and neon-strobed production skills remaining present as ever, though despite the throughlines, the album marks a departure from his previous work with Neon Indian, which was more experimental and lo-fi.

Review: David Pajo, the enigmatic musician behind Papa M, makes a bold return with a collection that straddles grit and grace, diving into new sonic depths after six years away. Known for his understated brilliance, Pajo shifts from the acoustic delicacy of A Broke Moon Rises to a bolder, rock-infused energy. Across six tracks, he merges structured riffs with improvised solos, crafting a unique sound that recalls bluesy rock influences, with subtle nods to the dexterity of guitar legends like Billy Gibbons. The single 'Ode to Mark White' highlights Pajo's experimental flair, utilizing waltz time to create a hypnotic rhythm that's both fresh and familiar. Recorded solo, the album captures Pajo's knack for live, spontaneous creativity, blending haunting ballads with driving grooves that underscore his versatility. A founding member of the post-rock outfit Slint, Pajo's influence extends through collaborations with Stereolab, Will Oldham and Tortoise, shaping his legacy as a genre-bending innovator. Here, he brings his classic ingenuity into focus, proving yet again that his music defies easy classification, balancing raw power with artful restraint.

Review: Papa Romeo's debut LP, Late Night Load Out, encapsulates their journey through dreamy indie rock, ambient jazz and post-punk influences. Chronicling their formative years gigging across Ireland, the album reflects the highs and lows of late-night gear hauls after shows. Now based in London, their music has garnered support from DJs and broadcasters, with singles gaining traction on BBC 6 Music and NTS. With appearances at prominent festivals and sold-out shows, Papa Romeo has established themselves as a versatile act, earning recognition as an Artist to Watch for 2024 by Hot Press Magazine. Late Night Load Out not only showcases their musical range but also their ability to captivate audiences, making them a promising addition to the indie scene. A very exciting debut album to check out.

Review: L.A. songwriter, producer, and performer Jerry Paper, also known as Lucas Nathan, is back with a rather impressive tenth studio album, INBETWEEZER. This new and vital collection features a blend of crooning rockers and bubble-pop jams that do a good job of showcasing the artist's playful and experimental spirit. The album delves into complex emotions as he embarks on a journey of "radical growth" through therapy and ultimately discovers the path to becoming a therapist. Each track grapples with themes of change, unlearning past behaviours and the continuous cycle of personal development. As such this is more than just a good listen is a thought-provoking work that prompts lots of inward reflection as you experience the artist's introspective exploration and joyful creativity.

Formed in 1981, Parade Ground pioneered a more emotional take on their homeland's signature electronic body music sound by blending drum machines icy synths and guitars with Jean-Marc's powerful vocals.

Review: Parade Ground is the Belgian duo of brothers Jean-Marc and Pierre Pauly and they formed this project in 1981 as a way of blending post-punk, coldwave and electronic body music. The Golden Years compiles their influential singles and rare tracks from 1982-1988 and it's a great window into their world of sleek synths, skeletal guitars and expressive, evocative vocals. Collaborating with Front 242's Daniel B. and Patrick Codenys, Parade Ground released seminal works like Moan On The Sly and Man In A Trance and later they worked with Wire's Colin Newman on Dual Perspective. This remastered album includes a press kit with lyrics and photos which chronicle their lasting impact on Belgian electronic music.

Punk/Hardcore
Review: The ultimate sleeper hit, All We Know Is Falling was the great almost for Paramore, the Tennessee emo outfit who would go on to huge things, just not as an immediate result of this album. Having recorded the emotionally charged guitar anthems that make up the record in Florida, the group were advised to allow word of mouth do its thing and slowly build a cult following.
In some ways it was shrewd - they now have a lot of loyal disciples - from other perspectives it wasn't, with this outing failing to enter the Billboard 200 chart when it was released in 2005. Skip forward to 2014, though, and thanks to the success Paramore became, and the blessing of fans looking into their back catalogue, All We Know Is Falling was certified gold in the US having already achieved that coveted status in the UK a few years earlier. Which makes perfect sense given this is benchmark setting stuff for the genre.

Review: Here's something you don't come across that often: a "live" album that captures straight-to-tape (literally) studio recordings rather than a performance in front of the paying public. In Parcels defence, the results are impressive, in part because their chosen location, legendary Berlin institution Hansa Studios, boasts the kind of analogue recording and mixing equipment that neatly fits their warm, mixed-up trademark sound (think West Coast rock, blue-eyed soul, funk-ruck fusion). Many of the songs segue into each other as they would during a live performance, with new interludes and previously unheard songs adding a frisson of disco-fired dancefloor goodness to proceedings. It might not be a pure live album, but it's a hugely enjoyable listen.

Review: Ultra-vintage reissued psych-pop from Parsley Sound, whose self-titled debut for Mo Wax was one of the label's most prized releases, and yet ended up massively inflated in price due to early sellouts and low pressing numbers. The duo / band made up of Danny Sargassa and Preston Mead are deft emulators of full-band sonics, producing the illusion of a wider ensemble; Parsley Sounds followed the early EPs 'Ease Yourself And Glide' and 'Twilight Mushrooms', but was comparatively much softer on the ears, charming the listener with its herbal pan flutes, downtempo era string segments, and not-too-heavy 70s throwback haunto-pysch cult propulsions. Clearly an early influence of now colossal cognates of the sound like Caribou and Four Tet, Parsley Sounds is essential heads' listening for those who wish to lead a certain uncanny, chintzy still life, yet who also know something of the restless beauty of said life. A5er 'Ocean House' is the expansive ballad that proves this, finding a lo-fi yet cavernous vocal opportunity in an otherwise claustrophobic cranny of sound.

Indie/Alternative
Review: We still remember when the first Passion Pit album dropped. We've probably still got the promo CD on our increasingly disorganised and - sadly - dusty shelves,. 2007, when Manners landed, was a strange time in music, and one that was as much about looking forward with fresh ideas as being unsure about to where to go next. Dance music had taken a long-overdue dive back underground, falling from mainstream popularity faster than you could say "the superclubs have closed". Indie was running out of guts and originality. Hip lost in commerciality. Passion Pit, among several other acts, were a breath of fresh air then - a hybrid sound both polished but chaotic, synth-y but live, optimistic and unapologetically big. The result was a unifying record that could bring tribes together, fittingly often defined by huge choruses comprising multiple voices crying out with emotional resonance. Don't give up, there's still plenty left that hasn't been said.

Review: The release of any new Peaking Lights record is cause for celebration, but there's something extra-exciting about The Fifth State of Consciousness, the husband-and-wife duo's sixth studio set. It's colourful, psychedelic, vibrant and unashamedly sunny, offering a thrill-a-minute ride through kaleidoscopic synth-pop, wide-eyed Balearica, humid reggae-pop and hazy, sunrise-friendly goodness. There are few surprises, of course, but a wealth of thoroughly brilliant, emotion-rich, head-in-the-clouds moments. Highlights include the chiming Balearic rush of "Wild Paradise", the early Pet Shop Boys in dub drowsiness of "A Phoenix & A Fish", and the dreamy, wall-of-sound shimmer of "Love Can Move Mountains". In other words, it's the aural equivalent of coming up at dawn on a secluded Californian beach.

Review: There's a clear statement of intent when a band puts out a retrospective compilation subtitled Volume 1. Pearl Jam are unarguably an outfit that can back up that hinted threat with genuine goods, too, ranking among the most influential US alternative rock bands of the 1990s. As such we're already chomping at the bit with anticipation for the sequel.
Sticking with this one, though, there's plenty here to introduce newcomers to exactly why the act that gave us landmark LPs like Ten warrant revisiting and celebrating. Tracks like 'Alive' and 'Even Flow', and 'Once' still sound as powerful and inimitable (no that many haven't tried) as they did when said album landed, with a slew of other material here proving just how many new ideas came from the team in their formative years.

Review: For the first time in over 26 years, much-loved metallers Pearl Jam finally topped mainstream rock airplay charts in the US with the first single off their latest album. That came some 1000 days ahead of the album itself which has now finally arrived and has soon won over fans. That single, 'Dark Matter', became Pearl Jam's first No. 1 on the chart since 'Given To Fly' led for six weeks all the way back in January-February 1998. The rest of the album is full of just as much gold as that, with plenty more of their signature riffs and potent grooves all topped with Eddie Vedder's legendary lung-busting vocals.

Review: Pearl Jam's Dark Matter sees the veteran rockers returning to their roots with a revitalised energy. Recorded in a rapid yet collaborative burst of creativity, the album captures a raw essence reminiscent of their early days. The band still delivers a potent rock-forward sound with muscular guitar leads and Vedder's iconic vocals. Tracks like 'Scared Of Fear' and 'Wreckage' showcase the band's trademark grandeur, while 'Setting Sun' serves as a raggedly majestic closer. Dark Matter proves to be very strong album which should excite longtime fans.

Review: Orville Peck's Stampede Vol. 1 is a choice blend of duets, marking his third album and the first part of a multi-part collection. The album opens with a serene rendition of 'Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other,' featuring Willie Nelson, setting a sweeping and airy tone. The pace picks up with 'The Hurtin' Kind' alongside Midland, an intense, rhythmic track with moaning steel and fervent harmonies. Elton John joins Peck for a scorching reimagining of 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting),' adding a vibrant energy. The Spanish-language 'Mienteme' with Bu Cuaron stands out, blending Peck's country style with traditional Banda music, honoring Mexican rancheros. 'Chemical Sunset,' featuring Allison Russell, evokes a 40s bar atmosphere with muted trumpet accents, while 'The Hurtin' Kind' references Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game,' fitting its heart-wrenching lyrics. Noah Cyrus's 'How Far Will We Take It?' is a twangy ballad, and 'Conquer The Heart' with Nathaniel Rateliff is a hazy, guitar-led tune. While the seven-track album leaves listeners longing for more, Stampede Vol. 1 is a powerful showcase of Peck's collaborative and evolving sound.

Stampede (gatefold baby pink vinyl 2xLP (indie exclusive))
Cat: 093624 841654. Rel: 05 Aug 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: Stampede, Orville Peck’s third album, is a formidable album full of talent and collaboration, completed by an impressive roster of guest artists. The album kicks off with a serene calm, led by Willie Nelson on the tender 'Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other,' setting a spacious and emotive tone. The sweeping strings and Peck’s haunting vocals create a vivid landscape that feels like the calm before the storm. The tempo picks up with the sultry, Midland-assisted 'The Hurtin' Kind,' where steel guitars moan and harmonies smolder, capturing a desperate intensity. The energy continues to rise with fiery tracks like 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting),' featuring Elton John, and the heroic Spanish-language 'Miénteme' with Bu Cuaron, both delivering the album’s promised impact. However, Stampede is not just about power. The latter half introduces more nuanced, intricate songs, including the haunting 'Back At Your Door' with Debbii Dawson and the groovy 'Death Valley High' featuring Beck. The album also closes strong with an electrifying cover of Glen Campbell’s 'Rhinestone Cowboy' and other standout duets. In its entirety, Stampede is a compelling blend of strength and artistry, solidified by its collaborative spirit. It’s an album that’s as emotive as it is powerful, proving Peck’s ability to craft an album that’s both expansive and deeply resonant.

Review: The work of Mike Hadreas has divided opinion up until this point, with observers being equally awestruck by his ornate and grandiose pop and slightly overwhelmed by it - however, 'No Shape' would appear to be the point at which all must acknowledge that this maverick is now operating at the absolute peak of his powers, and sculpting works of cinematic splendour that balance out tenderness of delivery and gloriously widescreen sweep. Lush orchestration marries with Hadreas' emotionally engaging croon and endlessly inventive arrangements to arrive at something both touching and transcendent.

Too Bright (10th Anniversary Edition) (limited clear vinyl LP)
Cat: OLE 1028LP. Rel: 19 Sep 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: Too Bright, released in 2014, marks a daring evolution for Perfume Genius, the moniker of Seattle's Mike Hadreas. Departing from the sparse, piano-driven melodies of his earlier work, this album dives into raw, unfiltered emotion and experimentation. Hadreas channels a simmering rage that has been growing since childhood, resulting in an album that is both audacious and quixotic. Collaborating with Adrian Utley of Portishead and featuring John Parish, Too Bright navigates a transformative path reminiscent of Kate Bush's The Dreaming or Scott Walker's Tilt. It balances pure songwriting with bold, avant-garde explorations. The album's soundscape shifts from delicate and introspective to powerful and defiant, reflecting Hadreas' internal struggle and emerging confidence. Tracks like 'Queen' are full of newfound boldness, combining anthemic choruses with provocative lyrics, while others maintain a haunting beauty. Too Bright is a standout in Hadreas' discography and is a pivotal moment of his artistic growth. Ten years on, it still pushes boundaries and confronts personal demons, solidifying it's place as a visionary album in contemporary music.

Review: You'll probably struggle to find an album that opens with two more contrasting tracks than the fifth long form effort from Mike Hadreas. Re-teaming with GRAMMY-nominated production talent Blake Mills, with the pair inviting a host of guest collaborators to help on this record (Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino to name but two), the record begins with the peaceful, reflective and hymn-like 'Whole Life', a classic slice of rock croonerdom, before the scuzzy guitars of 'Describe' drop in like juggernauts. Elsewhere, you have the proto-pop of 'On The Floor', a track heyday Cyndi Lauper would have been happy to call her own, and the haunting slow dance of 'One More Try', offering yet more shades of grey which, combined, create a complete picture of a man, or indeed men, in the 21st Century. Rebellious, tender, caring, carefree and deeply complex. Definitely one that will keep you exploring long after first pressing play.

Eye Of The Hunter/Live At The ICA (gatefold transparent teal & seafoam green vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: 4AD 0555LPX. Rel: 19 Oct 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance hears his 1999 album Eye of the Hunter expanded for a first-time repress, to now include a bonus live album Live at the ICA, recorded during 4AD's infamous 13 Year Itch residency at the storied London venue in 1993. Channelling his infamous gestalt-gargantuan folk sound that he so trailblazed with his partner Lisa Gerrard with DCD, the newly unearthed live material is just as arresting as the original solo album; whether its recording at the Quivvy Church in Ireland or the ICA in London, the overall effect - that of Perry's dark folk wonderment, mythological themes, and reverb-laden 4AD sound - is the same.

Wyrd Psearch (limited 180 gram vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: UTR 160. Rel: 26 Feb 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: Almost two full decades into their curious career, slacker-psych experimentalists The Pheromoans have never been ones to shy away from the esoteric or mundane. Led by the droll, deadpan delivery and unique world view of primary songwriter Russell Walker, LP number 13 sees the collective lean ever further into topical malaise whilst honing their fuzzed out, post-college-rock jangles into their most digestible and direct form yet. With the title Wyrd Psearch, Walker takes direct aim "at the ubiquity of people claiming things are eerie or weird/wyrd in the present cultural milieu", while the word-search artwork is intended to highlight our cultures' obsessive search for meaning in an increasingly illogical world. Twinkling no wave riffs, glistening synth lines and muted requests to loved ones requesting their presence on a trip to town to reup on prescription meds.

Review: Phosphorescent is recognised as something of a key player in the current indie scene. Based right now in Nashville, Tennessee, he has been away for the best part of half a decade but now makes a sweet return much to the delight of fans and critics alike. Back in 2022 his covers album Full Moon Project showcased all of his most prominent inspirations and influences with versions of music by the likes of Bee Gees, Bob Dylan and Nina Simone. The self-taught producer and a constantly inquisitive creative now goes deep on new record Revelator which is "a meditation on all that he's learned about life and all that is still unknown".

Review: Given that all four members of Piroshka have serious musical heritage stretching back to the late '80s and early '90s (famously the line-up boasts former members of Lush, Elastica, Moose and Modern English), it's perhaps unsurprising that their trademark sound taps into these roots. Love Drops & Gathers, their sophomore set, evolves this collective style further, adding notable nods towards shoegaze and shimmering electronica amongst the rugged Britpop grooves and classic indie-rock song structures. The result is a warm, drowsy and more musically adventurous affair that still puts hummable melodies and sing-along choruses at the heart of the action.

Review: This double pack brings together the original, pre-reformation Pixies' last two albums from the early 90s with Bossanova from 1990 marking a distinct shift in the band's sound, Black Francis pursuing a more 'space age heavy metal' direction, a vision he had long desired. The album is imbued with haunting melodies like in 'Ana' and 'Velouria' and contains some of Francis' best lyrical work, dealing in unsettling concepts and a dreamlike atmosphere that's unlike anything they'd done before. Following closely in 1991, Trompe le Monde continues this exploration, both musically and thematically, with its most famous moment 'Planet of Sound' seemingly joining the dots between punk and metal. The title track, which translates to 'Fool the World', sets the tone for an album that adds more avant-garde touches to their alternative rock. While maintaining the Pixies' signature style on 'Alec Eiffel' and the impossibly funky but still lead heavy 'U Mass' - the only track containing the c-word that even sneaked onto a Desert Island Discs playlist thanks to one Jimmy Carr - it still pushes the boundaries even further with more experimental elements. A comprehensive experience of this fascinating and often underrated period in the Pixies' career.

Review: When the dust settled, it would be fair to say that 'Indie Cindy', Pixies 2014 recording comeback, was not a roaring success, from its unfortunate title down. Paradoxically, what appears to have made the difference for the vastly superior 'Head Carrier' is the arrival of talented journeywoman bassist Paz Lenchantin, who makes her presence felt throughout and perhaps shakes up the chemistry of the band just enough to make them comfortable taking chances. The spiky pop hooks, humour and off-kilter raunch are here in spades, yet more importantly 'Head Carrier' sounds like the work of a band comfortable in its own skin once again.

Review: Pixies' 'Doolittle' was inarguably 4AD's defining album outside of dream pop, and was of course the Pixies' optimistic cash cow. Fewer fans are aware of 'Doggerel', its brand new dubious counterpart. Rather than dealing in the winged, playful Puck-punk they normally dealt in, this 2022 reunion album hears the band indulge in darker headspaces, charting gruesome folk, ballroom pop and brutal rock. Lead single 'There's A Moon On' is a fearsome rock n' roll song with nigh intangibly fang-bearing vocals.

Review: Some 35 years after their platinum-certified album Doolittle launched them into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years since their acclaimed Coachella reunion, Pixies are thriving in their second act. Their tenth album, The Night The Zombies Came following the 1987 mini-LP Come On Pilgrim marks their first new release since 2022's Doggerel. The album features thirteen new tracks that showcase a cinematic direction and draw on themes such as druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, medieval restaurants, 12th-century poetry, surf rock, gargoyles, and bog people. It also incorporates the distinctive dry drum sound reminiscent of 1970s Fleetwood Mac.

Review: Pixies' The Night The Zombies Came marks their tenth studio album and continues their resurgence with a fiery new direction. This release is a vibrant mosaic of eclectic influences, from Druidism and medieval themes to apocalyptic malls and gargoyles. The album, produced by Tom Dalgety, blends cinematic ambition with a diverse sonic palette. The tracks divide into two distinct camps: the country-tinged 'Dust Bowl Songs' like 'Primrose' and 'Mercy Me', and the intense punk anthems such as 'You're So Impatient' and 'Oyster Beds'. Notable is the single 'Chicken', showcasing the band's signature surrealism. With the addition of new bassist Emma Richardson from Band Of Skulls, and an expanded role for guitarist Joey Santiago, who contributed lyrics to 'Hypnotised' using a sestina form, the album explores new creative depths. The Night The Zombies Came reaffirms Pixies' enduring creativity and versatility, delivering a dynamic and imaginative collection that bridges past influences with a forward-looking vision.
