Also out this week: 

Orlando Weeks is still channeling the spirits of Arthur Russell & Mark Hollis but, on ‘Loja’, the former Maccabees frontman is the architect of a more upbeat, poppy framework to weld his extraordinary, alluring compositions to, the sugar-sweet pop starlet known as Sabrina Carpenter hit us with a shot of her finest choruses that'll be so embedded in your brain you'll have to start charging them rent, Cassyette has let rip on her sky-grazing alt-rock odyssey and you can score a spot for her instore performance this Saturday, and Smote lock into dense, heavy, and primordial grooves that sweep you up and take you for a long long ride through whispering forests, churned fields, and intoxicating lore.

Elsewhere, Mark Lanegan's 'Bubblegum' gets the 20th anniversary treatment, maths fans can rejoice at the new Melt Banana, Carter USM is hanging out with dinosaurs, Lainey Wilson's been swept up in a whirlwind, Cocteau Twins are over the moon with Harold Budd, The Prodigy are outnumbered, Fugazi are argumentative, and Throbbing Gristle have squeegee'd their third minds onto vinyl for the first time!
