Also out this week:
Ditching the industrial pop shenanigans of 'Prioritise Pleasure', Self Esteem is embracing a choral, gospel-like approach for this empowering rally against the Gilead-ification of society - that she does so whilst still dishing righteous barbs and lashings of wit is testament to her undeniable prowess. Maria Somerville's second album feels like mbv taking a trip into the stratosphere, allowing the guitars to slide off a little and the dreampop elements to slip through porous thresholds like softly dispersing clouds - it's a wonderful world to wrap yourself up in and now comes signed! Three records in and Cloth have found the perfect balance between their dreamy vocals, twilit synths, and an undeniable knack for massive, muscular, pop hooks on this gorgeous Dinked edition. And The Moonlandingz dish out party electronics haunted by one too many trips into the k-hole of the soul, gathering a few famous friends as they take us on a weird night out.Signed for that one too!
We're sliding back to '95 to commemorate 30 years of what some might say is Oasis' first number one single, Nick Cave and Die Haut are burnin' the ice, Blur have got their magic whip out, Gary Numan's gone beserk, there are 13 tales from urban bohemia courtesy of the Dandy Warhols, Sunflower Bean are in their mortal primetime (and they'll be performing in the shop a week on Sunday!), Samia is bloodless (and signed!), Rilo Kiley are executing all things, there's a listening party with Tim Burgess' name on it (literally - he's signed 'em!), Emma Jean-Thackray is a weirdo, the Sex Pistols are off to the States, and Ghost has gone all skeleta(l).
