Also out this week:
Crack Cloud are yet again the pacesetters that we should all be keeping an eye and a pair of ears on as they burn off into the shimmering horizon of ‘Red Mile’, this zestful performance finds Blur ripping through their esteemed back catalogue, injecting hit after hit with an enviable energy and a wicked sense of humour, the ambient yet pummelling whirlwind of pistoning drums, screwed synths, and airy vocals that makes up Ebbb's EP has us positively drooling for what an album might hold in store, and Baby Rose's smoke-strewn pipes effortlessly glide between the ever-cool soulful strut of Badbadnotgood's instrumentals in a match made in heaven.
Want some more? Well how's about this - the Beastie Boys' 'Ill Communication' has been given the boxset treatment, absolutely packing it with aural goodies, not only is the Talking Heads classic concert film back on wax but there's a tribute album featuring the likes of The National, Paramore, Toro Y Moi, and Lorde PLUS you can win tickets to a screening of the film! Morrissey's sticking it to Beethoven, Sam Tompkins may be feeling a little insecure but this Sunday's instore is a guaranteed good time, Jimetta Rose is feeling optimistic, and there's signed mixtape action from Art Brut!
