New albums: David Byrne, Young Fathers, Whyte Horses, Ady Suleiman, Editors

David Byrne – American Utopia

The world may be going to hell in a handcart, but not if David Byrne can help it. This is an album brimming with optimism, and follows the his curated ongoing Reasons To Be Cheerful series of inspiring, positive society writings, photos, music, and lectures. The music itself has echoes echoes of Once In A Lifetime from the Talking Heads era, but as ever Bryne pushes the creative envelope, and working with Brian Eno, much promise comes from an artist with his first solo album since 2004. Out on Todomundo/Nonesuch Records.

Whyte Horses – Empty Words

Ady Suleiman - Need Somebody To Love

Need Somebody To Love from Ady Suleiman's album 'Memories', out 9th March 2018 https://adysuleiman.lnk.to/memories http://vevo.ly/qnoZD9

Judas Priest - Firepower

Looking at the cover of Firepower takes me back to 1982's commercial breakthrough Screaming For Vengeance. Flip over the cover and it's much the same with Tom Allom producing and some pleasing Hellion-based cod-mythology. This is a pretty good sounding record which is some going by Halford who has clocked up almost 50 years in music! Out on Columbia.

Editors - Violence

Editors nearly packed it in a few years ago, but they return with a new line-up,  soft electronica and a more danceable beat to enhance those guitars to produce a stadium shaking sound. Indie shops have a two-LP vinyl version which has a couple of bonus tracks. Out on PIAS.
