Marc Almond – Shadows & Reflections

Prophets of Rage - Prophets of Rage

A no-holds barred, take-no-shit rock-rap supergroup consisting of three members of Rage Against The Machine, with Public Enemy’s DJ Lord they are fronted by Chuck D, B-Real of Cypress Hill. The world needs a powerful voice of righteous indignation in the Trump era and there are few more powerful than the unambiguous messages from this crew. For added bite, the video of this song is directed by Michael Moore:

Omni – Multi-Task

The Atlanta three-piece’s second album after last year’s Deluxe, another super-tight mixture of Talking Heads, XTC, Fire Stations, Wire, Devo, and Jonathan Richman. Tuneful and excellently experimental all and once, it’s really going places.

Omni – Southbound Station

Second single from their new album "Multi-task", out Sept 22nd, 2017 via Trouble In Mind Records (www.troubleinmindrecs.com)

The Killers – Wonderful Wonderful

So good they named it twice and, in the grand tradition of not upsetting a winning formula it's more stadium shuddering anthems from Brandon Flowers & Co.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Luciferian Towers

Third album is a four track effort informed by the following grand demands (you've got to admire their optimism):

+ an end to foreign invasions
+ an end to borders
+ the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex
+ healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as an inalienable human right
+ the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Undoing A Luciferian Towers

Band: Godspeed You! Black Emperor Album: Luciferian Towers Release date: September 22, 2017 Label: Constellation Records Genre: Post-rock ///\\\

The Horrors – V

Having knocked on the door of major success for a number of albums this may well be the crossover album that really cracks it for Farris Badwan and chums. The psyche element has perhaps been dialled down to accommodate the dance/pop sensibility of these songs .

Björk - The Gate

Not an album – yet – but the tender, emotional first single from her forthcoming new album doesn't disappoint. It's co-produced by Arca and there's a limited 12-inch vinyl version of this out this week.

Björk - The Gate

For the first release from her forthcoming new album, co-produced by Arca, Björk has teamed up with a super-troupe of contributors to create a hallucinogenic new video. Artist Andrew Thomas Huang lends his tech-savvy hand to envision a kaleidoscopic world inhabited by the singer-songwriter, who is clad in an iridescent otherworldly garment designed by Gucci's Alessandro Michele.

The Wedding Present – George Best 30

Georgie was well past his best by the time he hit 30, but has The Wedding Present's much loved album fared any better? It still scores. After completing a successful ‘twentieth anniversary’ tour for their debut LP George BestDavid Gedge suggested they lay down a 'live' version in the studio (producer Steve Albini was initially reluctant but stayed for the ride).
