Also out this week:
Rev your engines and hit the dancefloor because Rahim Redcar (FKA Christine & The Queens) has rustled up a new-found sense of beat-heavy, electronic fun to coincide with a shift in moniker, The National transposed their epic indie balladry to the equally epic surroundings of Parco Della Musica Ennio Morricone in the Eternal City - this recording causes our hearts to rush towards our mouths, so we've no idea how those actually in attendance made it through the show in one piece! Speaking of magnificent live shows, Fleet Foxes are in the finest fettle during this 2-hour, career-spanning, performance from Boston Harbour, and, if you’re yet to bow down to Kim Gordon’s throne, now's the perfect time to convert - pick up the fancy new expanded edition, stick it on, and watch your speakers quake like two rutting tectonic plates.
Elsewhere, Hot Chip's deluxe Dinked Archive edition just got a little more deluxe with our exclusive signed postcards! Unexpected bedfellows, Wham & The Jesus & Mary Chain, are both celebrating 40 years of legendary singles, The The are 'Risin' Above The Need', Ghost are doing their gothic Norman Cook impression, Mermaid Chunky have signed prints for their wonky odyssey, Frank Turner's raising the deed, there are luxurious sets of Devo demos, The Cramps are getting educated, and Fontaines D.C. are holding out for a hero!
