It All Comes Down To This (limited translucent neon pink vinyl LP)
Cat: LSTUMM 492. Rel: 18 Apr 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: It All Comes Down to This is the album latest release from Manchester icons A Certain Ratio, and it's a record that is helmed by producer Dan Carey from Speedy Wunderground. Somewhat returning to their origins, the record presents ten concise tracks with a hint of the group's signature electronic flair. Notably, it's the first recording featuring the core trio of Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Donald Johnson, without any additional collaborators. From their celebrated 1982 album and right up to their dynamic last EP in 2023, this album shows the band's still evolving and still committed to new musical advancements. A testament to their enduring legacy, It All Comes Down to This solidifies A Certain Ratio's place among Manchester's finest.

Review: A Certain Ratio, Manchester icons, are back and in fine style with the new album It All Comes Down to This, which arrives here on eco vinyl. This record, while nodding to their roots, delivers 10 succinct tracks infused with the group's distinctive electronic touch and marks the first recording featuring the core trio of Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Donald Johnson without additional collaborators. The album exemplifies the band's ongoing evolution with short and sweet cuts like 'All Comes Down To This' next to the compelling likes of 'Bitten By A Lizard' and plenty in between.

Funk
Review: A Certain Ratio's core trio of drummer Donald Johnson, bassist/vocalist Jez Kerr, and multi-instrumentalist Martin Moscrop make ACR Loco a perfectly fluid and funk album. In fact, on this, their first album in more than ten years, the Manchester post-punk outfit are as funky as they have ever been. Their tried and tested sound gets nicely updated with modern beat driven sounds and plenty of redefines to today's political strife in the lyrics. There are plenty of smooth and cool synth led grooves like 'Get A Grip' and messages of unity on 'Family' that we can all relate to.

A Flock Of Seagulls (40th Anniversary Edition) (remastered) (limited transparent orange vinyl LP)

Indie/Alternative
Review: Originally released in 1982, A Flock Of Seagulls' eponymous debut album heard them burst on to the new wave scene with advanced songwriting and catchy guitar laps and lyrics. With Phil Spector hailing the album as 'phenomenal', perhaps for somewhat conforming to his wally production technique, the band ended up being venerated near-timelessly for their quasi-electronic synth tunes like 'I Ran' (clock the use of early electronic drum pads in its breakdown). This is new wave at one its best pop-centric peaks.

Indie/Alternative
Review: A Flock of Seagulls may be best known for their hit song 'I Ran (So Far Away)' but the band's influence on synthpop and new wave, outside of that claim to fame, is actually much greater. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1982, features the iconic track as well as other memorable cuts such as 'Space Age Love Song' and 'Wishing', adding extra far-out elements to the formula already cut out by The Cure. The band's distinctive hairstyle, featuring asymmetrical cuts and a gravity-defying swoop, became known as the "Flock of Seagulls haircut," even refernced in the film 'Pulp Fiction'. Cleopatra US's reissue of the album is a reminder of the band's lasting impact on 80s pop culture.

Review: Not content with merely being one of the biggest selling indie bands of right now, Yard Act are busy carving themselves a tasty side hustle as A&R men, with their Zen FC label scooping up some of the most exciting other music around as well as their own. This album from Sheffield's long serving synth maverick Adrian Flanagan (Kings Have Long Arms, Eccentronic Research Council, International Teachers Of Pop) is not an obvious choice for the guitar slingers, being closer to electro pop than indie, but it's a compulsive and ingenious listen all the same. Written during lockdown, it follows the rise and fall of an imaginary superstar DJ, each song pushing the narrative along and featuring a plethora of guests, including Richard Hawley and Maxine Peake, both of whom feature at the album's 'comedown' conclusion.

Review: Minimal synth Dutch pioneers The Actor dropped this classic in 1982 on Trumpett Tapes. It was a cult favourite amongst those who know that eventually got reissued for the first time by Mannequin Records in 2014, and now comes another new drop but with the added bonus of a whole extra slab of wax. It is packed with extra full-length of demos from the 1981-1984 period and makes for some superb tonic for lovers of rusty analog synths. Cold yet alluring with textbook deadpan vocals, this is crisp coldwave at its best.

Adia Victoria makes a thoroughly welcome return with her third album, A Southern Gothic.

Review: Owen Ashworth is Advance Base and his 2015 album Nephew In The Wild gets a reissue here. It was his second of what has now been six albums since he left his Casiotone for the Painfully Alone bedroom pop project and it pairs gentle indie songwriting with melancholic themes and a lo-fi production style. His often simple arrangements pair a heartfelt melody and gauzy guitar line with minimal drums as he shares the joys of married life and parenthood and the folly of youthful recklessness.

Review: There's no rock frontman quite like Greg Dulli, and even in middle age his melancholy and morally ambiguous loverman persona appears to be maturing like the proverbial fine wine. Moreover, the blend of soulful heart-on-sleeve balldeering and gritty rock-outs finds new vistas and moments of intensity on 'In Spades' - lurking somewhere between the testosterone bluster of Springsteen and the slinky grooves of Motown, yet with the addition of noisy electronic grooves, as on the opener 'Birdland,' only bolstering their arsenal. It's a treat to have this louche rogue back.

The sounds here are brilliantly thrilling and high octane across a first record in five years. 26 years after this group formed they still find new heights and fresh sounds as they reference greats like Warren Zevon, Prince, and Zeppelin while also adding their own love of soul and R&B. Frontman Greg Dulli is in typical swaggering and dynamic form on the mic as he leads this one from the front.

Review: Who, or perhaps what, was Tomo Akikawabaya? In truth, nobody really seems to sure on the answer, other than the fact this mysterious Japanese artists decided to release a serious of incredible synth-driven singles during the 1980s, before vanishing back into the dry ice of whatever smoke machine they escaped from. A musical genie, here only to bestow a limited number of gems on us, and then disappear forever. Swerving interviews and photos doesn't help the search, but The Castle II at least allows us to explore his work in depth, across several tracks. These range from the twisted cabaret weirds of 'Objet D'Amour', to the driving electro-punk of 'Le Voleur', grand and decidedly 1980s-sounding synth rock on 'The April', and New Romantic-esque pop on The Castle (II). Essential stuff.

Review: RECOMMENDED
It was two in two for Alabama Shakes when they first unveiled this bonafide swamp rock masterpiece. Released in 2015, Sound & Color took the blueprint laid out with Boys & Girls and then kicked up into fifth gear. It's soul. It's blues. It's sweat-soaked funk. Most importantly, though, it's the kind of record that keeps giving the more you listen, sounding equally at home in the 1950s as it does the 2010s.
It's hard to really put into words the level of husky, pained, heart-on-sleeve musicality at the core of this record. Brittany Howard's voice might never again sound as utterly distraught and reflective, pained and somehow filled with hope for a brighter day. Individual readings aside, this is among the finest blues records to land this century, and ranks up there with some of the greats of the 20th, so don't sleep on this edition complete with closing tracks recorded live at the legendary Capitol Studios.

Review: The Alarm lead singer and songwriter Mike Peters set up The Twenty First Century Recording Company in Prestatyn, North Wales in 1994 as a way of allowing his band to express themeless freely away from the conventional restrains of other labels. It remains the band's primary home and is where they land now with a remarkable 20th album. It comes after a time of illness and more than 40 years of writing big and anthemic rock tunes but still finds him serving up more of the same with plenty of epic riffs and singalong choruses.

Review: It may be open to debate how ironic that title is - the New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Harding insists that it's not. But the fact that this record isn't overburdened by elated atmospherics takes nothing away from a quietly powerful, reflective and charismatic piece of work. PJ Harvey comparisons (particularly in relation to 'White Chalk') are bound to present themselves, especially with longtime Peej collaborator John Parish on board, but 'Party' is a dark gem with a lustre all its own. not to mention brio, humour and subtlety to spare.

Review: For people of a certain age, their teenage years were defined by the edgy grunge, alt and punk rock sounds of bands like Alice in Chains. Three decades later their seminal sophomore effort, Dirt sounds as good as it ever did and gets an anniversary reissue to mark the occasion.

Review: Having just reformed earlier this year for their first headline tour in almost a decade, what better time to revisit the criminally underrated and often overlooked fourth full-length from power-pop-punks The All-American Rejects? Originally released in 2012, and following on from the mega successful yet sonically safe When The World Comes Down, the band strived to push themselves further out of their comfort zones than they'd initially ever thought possible. Channelling everything from 60s mod garage rock to orchestral big band jazz, yet all coalesced within the whimsical, sardonic and endearingly earnest penmanship of primary songwriter Tyson Ritter, Kids In The Street is that curious project that offered fans an entirely new, static-shattering chapter that they weren't at the time ready to digest. A decade on, what was once considered their swan song might not clasp onto that title for too long more, yet is in dire need of reappraisal either way.

Review: Allah-Las proudly celebrate the pervading influence of California on their sun-baked sound, but on this new album for Innovative Leisure they've also widened their scope to take in some artfully deployed electronic elements. 'The Stuff' sets out their stall on Zuma 85 in no uncertain terms, as their crunchy 70s guitar tone meets with a subtle electronic pulse and some wry vocoder touches. From their devout psych-rock roots, the band have evolved to take in kosmische, art rock and even a touch of prog in their quest for new strains of sonic enlightenment.

The Bristol-based duo have been prolific over the last few years, yet the quality of their work seemingly hasn't suffered. Promised Land, their fifth album, is another invigorating, thrill-a-minute ride through hip-hop/funk/soul/rock/breakbeat fusion, where almost every cut is ripe for dancefloor plays. Highlights include the bluesy breakbeat bustle of 'Working On Me', the scratch-happy, Fatboy Slim-esque fun of 'Jumping Off', growling Dynamite MC hook-up 'Lean On You' (which reminded us a little of Plantlife), soul stomper 'Love Somebody' and 'Are You Ready', where Ugly Duckling's Andy Cooper and singer Marietta Smith both make their mark.

Coldwave/Synth
Review: Canadian singer, songwriter and visual artists Allie X - real name Alexandra Ashley Hughes - is a great representative for the resurgent live electro-synth scene. Emerging from the Toronto indie circuit in the mid-2000s, it was a relocation to Los Angeles, a heartland for neon sounds, and early work with producers Circuit and Billboard that first saw an identity begin to form, which is as retro as it is futuristic, picking up scores of fans along the way, including Katie Perry no less. Girl With No Face is her latest long form, and sees the artist again stick her flag confidently in the ground. Tunes bounce, track, soar, step, pump and - at times - fall apart, emotionally speaking, with clear references to the likes of Ladyhawke, Madonna, Kraftwerk, Cocteau Twins and a-Ha, among others. Definitely one to watch, if you're not already.

Review: Is it really 10 years since Alt-J burst into the open with the barnstorming success of their debut album An Awesome Wave? The band set out their stall as something a little different from the get-go, but the vital essence of the band is in their ability to bridge the gap between widely appealing indie songwriting hooks and unusual touches which make everything sound new, even a decade later. It's fair to say they inspired a fair few artists in their wake, especially with the likes of 'Something Good', but none of these imitators match up to the sheer inventiveness spilling out of this incredible debut album.

Review: The second album from questionably spelt Canadian five-piece Alvvays doesn't see them straying too far from their comfort zone, but only because they don't particularly need to. Stylistically, the band are good at what they do, snugly nestled in the ethereal pop sound we've come to recognise from groups such as Best Coast, Beach House and Camera Obscura. Clocking in at just over half an hour long, the follow-up to 2014's self-titled debut is kept short and sweet, providing a lean and sentimental album full of jangling guitars, satisfying chord progressions and relatable emotional intelligence that will continue to please current fans, and more than likely enamour a swathe of new ones.

It's Rough Trade that have taken up Amyl and The Sniffers for their debut album recorded in Sheffield with Ross Orton towards the end of 2018. Six months on and the four piece are rattling the walls more than ever with a raucous ballyhoo of garage-punk that sees the band's ferocious Pouges-y mix of Irish drunkenness hit the wall with the Californian sounds of Pennywise and Australia's own Frenzal Rhomb.

Review: Experimental jazz meets electronic on this hybrid chimera of an album, wherein Gozen Atila aka. Anadol saw to a troupe of Istanbul jazz musicians recording over her pre-made synth jazz compositions. The sonic result is a strange recollection of Byzantine backstreets, noir sonic judders and hauntologic Persian dirges. It's enthralling because it's hard to break down where electronics end and live elements begin; 'Eciflere Gel' is a toe-tapping, hi-hat shuffling backlit crime-drama jazz bit, while 'Ablamin Gozleri' is completely different: a hauntingly electronic folk song. 'Istasyon Plajinda...', meanwhile, is a time-stopping and doomy ambient soundscape cut. Via everything from organ automation to subversion of tradition, Anadol has created a masterpiece.

Review: Instrumental synth pop producer Gozen Atila, AKA Anadol - named after an old Turkish car company - has been building a stellar reputation for herself as a purveyor of 1970s and 1980s influenced electronic soundscapes since her first full length, curuyen Yillar (Rotting Years), turned heads among press and public alike in 2012. Plenty has come between then and now, but finally we're given Hatiralar, a record that was made around the same time as her debut but has never before seen the light of day. Informed by the experimental European and Eurasian movie scores of decades past, fans of Bruce Haack and The Space Lady will find much to fall head over heels for here, touching on naive keyboard chart hits from outside the Western music industry, kosmische, science fiction sounds and obscure electro forms, it's a strange but enticing trip into another world.

Life Is Strange (Soundtrack) (gatefold translucent yellow vinyl LP + booklet)
Cat: 538750 381. Rel: 27 Apr 23
Soundtracks
Review: Australian folk-indie-pop set Angus & Julia Stone, appropriately led by brother and sister Angus and Julia Stone, have been making waves Down Under for almost 20 years now. One listen to their output is enough to convince you they're a cut well above the rest, and the panel charged with deciding on the ARIA Awards obviously agree. They've now won lots, and received nominations for countless more.
Life Is Strange certainly reflects their oeuvre quite accurately. Somewhere between contemporary country, blissful indie and romantic, soft and sweet artsy indie, the project itself also reflects their forward-thinking attitude, with this one of a growing number of video game scores that are actually albums in themselves, rather than the kind of straight up soundtracks we're mostly used to.

Review: Animal Collective return with album number eight, their first for Domino. "Strawberry Jam" was recorded by Scott Colburn in Tucson, Arizona. It's an amazing record, which should finally mark some sort of crossover for them. It bears all of their unique and charming hallmarks but with vocals and melody much more to the foreground.

Review: Part of Sony's latest reissues motive for weirdo champer pop songstress Fiona Apple, When The Pawn... is said to have broken the record for longest-ever album title, a record we're sure has been broken more recently by a much more obscure netizen we're not particularly fain to track down. That being said, this opening gambit did do well to evoke what Apple was shooting for with her second album, which saw to the likes of 'Paper Bag' and 'Fast As You Can' - waltzing, ornamented songs, laying claim to a convincing development in Apple's sound.

Tidal (reissue) (limited gatefold 180 gram vinyl 2xLP + booklet)
Cat: 194398 74241. Rel: 08 Dec 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: Fiona Apple's debut album, Tidal, was released in 1996 and has since gone down as one of the foremost examples of the experimental pop artist's style-unto-no-other. Bringing the likes of 'Shadowboxer', 'Sleep To Dream', and standout 'Criminal' to the forefront of the contemporary imagination, the album functioned personally as a proof of talent: in Apple's own words, she was "proving myself, telling people from my past something. And to also try to get friends for the future." If Apple's pre-emptive lonesomeness wasn't assuaged after this album's release, we'll eat our hats. Its ten tracks singles portray Apple's young-adult angst against a predominant trip-hop backstyle, flaunting her palmy and present vocal delivery in particular.

Extraordinary Machine (reissue) (180 gram vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: 196588 30271. Rel: 08 Dec 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: Fiona Apple's 2005 album, Extraordinary Machine, is a unique blend of alternative and pop sounds flaunted from the upbeat 'Not About Love' to the gentle 'Parting Gift'. Coming a whopping six years after her incendiary sophomore When The Pawn... album, the release was notably shafted for two years after its intended release in 2003, inciting some speculation around the album's - sigh - commercial appeal. The impetus to release the album was ultimately fan-led, and led to a full-blown re-record by Apple, not to mention an all-out frenzy on the P2P and Torrenting scene.

The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw & Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do (reissue) (180 gram vinyl LP in spot-varnished sleeve)

Review: Fiona Apple's fourth studio album, originally released in 2012, features 'Werewolf,' 'Hot Knife,' and opening track 'Every Single Night'. Now reissued via Sony, we're reminded again of Apple's surrealist, melancholic fantasy; from the opening breakup single, which stops and starts with virtuosic restraint and metric indeterminacy; to 'Valentine', which continues Apple's preference for huge chords and piano-bound ballads, as she laments her inability to resist tarrying in youth; this is quite literally a run-on sentence in album form, with Apple compellingly putting across a restless persona, unable to settle into contentment.

Review: It's safe to say that Aqualung's eponymous debut album was very much a product of its time. A period when alt-leaning rock-y balladry packed with a forlorn, almost melancholic atmosphere and off-key melodies had taken over the mainstream in a fevered clamour to resurrect an indie scene that had been running out of ideas since the waves of Britpop began to recede.
None of which is a criticism, but rather a prelude to hearing this spectacular record again, at which point you're likely to be transported back to watching the VW Beetle ad that used the track 'Strange and Beautiful', and the first season of Skins (which featured 'Good Times Gonna Come'). Stadium sized quiet bleeding romance, heartbreak, and an introverted attitude, it's no wonder this record catapulted Matthew Nicholas Hales - as the artist was born - into the upper echelons of producers, songwriters and collaborators (the list of who he's worked with is, to put it mildly, impressive).

Review: This sixth studio album by Arcade Fire is as anticipated as any in the seminal indie band's long career. It was produced by esteemed Radiohead associate Nigel Godrich in many different locations around the world from El Paso to New Orleans. The band say it was the longest they have ever spent writing together and is focused on the forces that threaten to pull the world apart and how we must resist. WE has a big narrative arc that makes for a real rollercoaster of seven tunes that go from light to dark and back and with plenty of joy expressed amongst the tensions.

Review: British band Archive unveils their soundtrack for the new French film Voleuses (Thieves) on NetFlix under the English title of Wingwomen, in the UK. The soundtrack offers a unique blend of electronic, avant-garde, post-rock and progressive rock and draws from diverse musical influences throughout, with the the London-based ensemble delivering an immersive landscape that mirrors the story of Carole and Alex, two adept thieves battling for liberation in the film. This one comes on audiophile vinyl and is a great accompaniment to the move itself.

Review: One of Britain's best-loved and most accomplished pop-rock bands are back with another highly anticipated album. The Car is epic on every level with its adventurously designed tunes, lots of grand orchestration and plenty of easy-to-enjoy and enigmatic songs of love but also doubt. The Sheffield outfit's seventh long player was written by frontman Turner at his home in LA and mixes indie and psychedelic rock, baroque, glam and orchestral rock with production largely taken care of by frequent collaborator James Ford. The title is a nod to the fact that there are many references to cars throughout the lyrics.

My Soft Machine (gatefold transparent green vinyl LP)

Review: A lot can change in two years or so. Not least if 2021 saw you release one of the most celebrated records of the current decade, tackling the mental health crisis head on in the midst of a global pandemic. An album that despaired and threw its hands up, declaring that we, collectively, are not alright and something needs to change, all via staggeringly poetic prose, at times bordering on spoken word. Returning from that triumphant episode, Arlo Parks follows up with The Soft Machine, an LP that lands after most of the dust from that global emergency has settled, and she's relocated to sunny Los Angeles to live with partner and alternative rapper, Ashnikko. To say the result is something that sounds warmer, more appreciative of what you've got rather than focussed on what isn't would be an understatement, but the exquisite songwriting and willingness to speak honestly about major issues remains.

Cat: TRANS 700XB. Rel: 25 May 23
Indie/Alternative
Review: Since her debut EP and LP arrived in 2019, Arlo Parks has grown into one of the most vital voices in modern British soul. Following on from 2021's Collapsed In Sunbeams album, My Soft Machine comes on mellow and magnificent, backed up by a strong cast of collaborators but very much steered by Parks at the helm. There's space for crossover pop hooks on the likes of the Paul Hepworth-produced 'Weightless' while Phoebe Bridgers lends her skills to 'Pegasus', and everything feeds into a universal dose of ear-catching neo-soul and artful pop fit for every home. This special edition of My Soft Machine comes pressed in translucent pink wax, housed in a black cloth tote bag and with a friendship bracelet to cement the bond between Parks and her audience.
