Also out this week:
Chirpy parps brush up against dark beats and funky basslines as Pan Amsterdam drips out stream of consciousness-style bars made up of unexpected threads cris-crossing across a jazzed out lysergic universe - it's gonna take some unpacking but we're psyched to dive deep! Bold, powerful, and devastating, These New Puritans follow up the magnificence of 'Inside The Rose' with this sprawling, visionary opus, taking cues from masters of minimalism, gothic chamber folk, and industrial electronics to make something undoubtedly their own. There are signed copies and a June instore to boot! Few can pair compelling musical chops with engaging narrative as well as Robert Forster and 'Strawberries' is no exception with its tales of love, lust, and possibly the best instance of fruit larceny since William Carlos Williams went plum pinching. Showing no signs of slowing down, the godfathers of madcap art pop, Sparks, turn their attentions to the important issues of the day - rucksacks, spiralling hotel bills, incontinence, and Californian interstates - giving each subject the wry and energetic musical dusting it deserves. The super limited listening party edition has just been made available, so hop to it quick-like!
Elsewhere, Orbital are bringing the brown notes (signed available!), it's back to the future with Suede, Shirley Collins sings of sweet England, Sault are acting in good faith, it's all gone Pete Tong in Ibiza, ganavya is dishing out the patchouli, Turin Brakes are on their Spacehopper and will be performing in the shop next Friday, there are strobes in space with this nu rave compilation, Sports Team are being boys (you can catch 'em instore next Wednesday), and what King Gizzard get up to with a pair of jeans and a laminator is no-one's business.
