Also out this week:
If low-end bassy wobbles, heart-stopping beats, and raunchy vocals catchier than conjunctivitis get your pulse ratcheting, then look no further than Moonchild Sanelly! There are signed postcards accompanying her album too! Bridget Hayden & The Apparitions' beautiful, drifting drone-folk is comprised of rain-lashed and wind-braced reinterpretations of traditional songs - they're just what you need to steel yourself for those winter blues, and back with their first studio record in 7 years, Franz Ferdinand have lost none of their rakish lustre as 'The Human Fear' throbs with an infectious, high-kicking energy that we can't help but find ourselves joyously caught up in. And if that's not enough to warm you on this chilly January morning, how about this zinger from Andrew Weatherall's Two Lone Swordsmen? Minor Threat are seeing red, Chappel Roan's painting her ponies pink, our Hanna's AOTY from Sholto has hit the racks, there's some seriously positive energy from Black Uhuru, both Neko Case and The High Llamas have raided their back catalogues, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are turning 15, Jalen Ngonda has a rapturous 7", and local folk musician Astrid Williamson is taking us on a heartfelt trip to the Shetlands.
