Also out this week:
Somehow managing to distill the experience of modern life into vibrations, rhythms, and tones, LICE have created something as intricate, surprising, unsettling, beautiful, confusing, wondrous, complicated, exciting, affecting, and wild as the whole wide world itself and the Dinked Edition is a perfect match! Timothy Clerkin and Ride's Andy Bell (aka Glok) have perfectly merged their respective sounds and inventive ideas on a kinetic electronic odyssey, album number two from Bananagun finds them transforming the sunshine-pop of their debut into a more exploratory, groovy, risk-taking, and, ultimately, more rewarding sonic experience on a stunner of a Dinked Edition, and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross deliver another ace with the soundtrack to Challengers proving as energetic, ballsy, and horny as the film itself! I know what you're thinking - what else has strolled into town? Well, The Charlatans are 'Up To Their Hips' in it, Suede are 'Wild Ones', you can collect all of your Orbs up into an 'Orboretum', Primal Scream are ahead of the pack, Suede's Bernard Butler is live at the Green Note, it's back to '77 with the Talking Heads, Hawkwind have tipped the scales, Josh Ritter's vacationing in heaven, The Twilight Sad are forgetful, and there's an indie-pop compilation invitation from Two-Piers that you just cannot turn down.
