The 1993 album ‘Very' was a number one record for Pet Shop Boys in the UK, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, and has to date sold in excess of five million copies worldwide. It contains five singles, including their cover of ‘Go West' - a number two hit for PSB - and lead single ‘Can you forgive her?'Stylistically, ‘Very' could be said to serve as an antithesis to ‘Behaviour', insofar as the production and lyrical themes are generally more upbeat than those of the previous album. Visually, too, PSB reinvented their image to incorporate more vivid colours and brightness, including Very's now-iconic "Lego" album cover and the ‘pointy hats' worn by Chris and Neil. The album is also the first to be produced almost entirely by Pet Shop Boys themselves - with additional production and mix courtesy of Stephen Hague. This ‘Catalogue' issue of ‘Very' includes a Further listening disc of bonus material, such as the previously-unreleased tracks ‘Falling' (a demo for Kylie Minogue), and a 1992 twelve-inch mix of ‘Go West'.
Bradley and writer/producer/multi-instrumentalist ... MoreThomas "TNT" Brenneck returned to Dunham studios and recorded the most exciting Daptone release to date, Victim of Love.

Though quite at home among the music that has affirmed Daptone as the world's #1 authority on Soul Music, Victim of Love proves to be a genre-bending masterpiece, picking up where the early 70's Temptations left off and edging boldly forward into psychedelic soul exploration.

Made up of Alloysious Massaquoi, Graham ‘G’ Hastings and Kayus Bankole, Young Fathers have long been recognised as one of Britain’s most vital and distinguished bands - merging incendiary and thought provoking lyrics with cutting edge visuals and an undeniable propulsive live show. Written and recorded over the course of three years, Heavy Heavy is a tour de force from the trio.

With producer Stephen Street, the Smiths created a... More subtly shaded and skilled album, one boasting a fuller production than before.

This, the highest charting of all their albums, easily offers a summary of the band’s considerable strengths, and went on to be certified Gold in both the UK and US. Less

Nilüfer Yanya returns with her highly anticipated... More follow up to 2022's critically acclaimed album PAINLESS.

Following the album release Nilüfer will head out on a full scale North American tour, hitting all major markets. Less

What makes Napalm Death so special? Well let's thi... Morenk back 30 years. Would you have thought that a grindcore band from Birmingham would ever make it into the official album charts with some of the most infernal noise ever put on tape, enter the Guinness book for the shortest song ever recorded or appear in a prominent UK TV series named 'Skins'? Could you have ever imagined a down-to-earth lad named Mark 'Barney' Greenway, a soccer fan (Aston Villa FC), vegetarian, prog metal freak and one of music history's most renowned representatives of 'cookie monster' style vocals would become a personality within the extreme music realm that is not about beer-drinking and hell-raising but synonymous with sounding hard while being smart? Well, that is where we are at now. From filthy, sweaty rehearsal rooms and tiny clubs and pubs NAPALM DEATH has conquered every music festival you can think of while becoming famous for combining brutal music with political engagement and ethical values beyond the usual cliche of sex, drugs & rock n roll. And, as most fans will be delighted to hear, this remarkable story is far from being over. Apex Predator - Easy Meat is the next vital chapter in a tome the band themselves virtually created. Less

Forest Swords unveils his new album on Ninja Tune.... More Bolted is available on ‘fresh green’ transparent LP, limited edition ‘winter wind’ opaque deluxe LP, and CD. Spending the past few years working as an in-demand composer and sound designer – writing music for ballet, film and video games – 'Bolted' was recorded over the past year in a warehouse factory space in Barnes’ home city of Liverpool. Across its 11 tracks he dives deeper into his unique sonic vocabulary to weave together a set of tracks that sounds equally muscular and bleak, haunting and euphoric. As ever in his music, melancholy and joy, monochrome and colour, past and future all feel ambiguous. Emotions shift from moment to moment, the differences between digital and acoustic instruments more smeared than ever: a queering of time, space and sonics that feels both playful and totally vital.

When Richard Thompson began writing songs for his ... Morelatest album, Ship to Shore, the artist was instinctively drawn to his own musical roots, employing them in the service of fashioning a deep and diverse 12-track collection that pulls from various styles, genres and eras, but remains unmistakably Richard Thompson. There’s the rumbling, Motown-style rhythm that propels “Trust,” and the straightforward riff-rock of “Turnstile Casanova.” The drone-y “The Old Pack Mule,” an “old man’s song” that takes musical cues from 1600s-era European music, and “Life’s a Bloody Show,” an ode to “snake-oil salesmen and hucksters” that floats on a glammy, cabaret-like melody that’s “almost like a parody of a Noël Coward song, or something from Berlin in the 1920s,” Thompson says. “I liked the idea of having a strong base to work from and reaching out from there,” he says. “And I think of my base as being British traditional music, but there’s also Scottish music, there’s Irish music. There’s jazz and country and classical. As far as I’m concerned, once you establish your base you can reach out anywhere. It’ll still be you ringing through, wherever you decide to go musically.” Less
Philadelphia psychedelic doombringers Ruby the Hat... Morechet are one of heavy music's finest on-the rise bands. Evoking a decade's worth of maturity gained in just a few short years, the genesis from the band's 2011 self-titled EP to present day has been nothing short of stunning. The group's music fuses the sinister tactic of brainwash with blistering riffs and the rebellious mood of sorcery, re-imagining a different path for metal. Valley of the Snake is a six song journey; a fantastical trek with huge, blistering tracks that journey over peaks and valleys and ditches and oceans before leaving you spinning. Seething and spitting, Ruby the Hatchet hammers behemoth waves of dogma and doom, merging precision and patience with a sinister foot-stomping, head-bobbing power. Vocalist Jillian Taylor's serpentine vocals, scene stealing howls and macabre lyrics conjure holistic atmospheres over swollen grooves that grow and flow in circles and waves. Guitars crunch, wail and burn. Heavy-handed and hypnotic in equal parts Ruby the Hatchet creates the perfect shape shift between psych density and metal grandiosity, representing something utterly imposing; primeval and oppressively heavy while maintaining a level of breathless intensity over the course of the full album. This hex is for you. Less

The ever-changing project of principal singer/songwriter E (Mark Oliver Everett), Eels have released thirteen studio albums since their 1996 debut, Beautiful Freak. During the height of the pandemic lockdown in early 2021, E got an out of the blue message from Mark Romanek, director of the first Eels video, "Novocaine For the Soul". It triggered him to reach out to John Parish, who was in between numerous projects and immediately got to work in his HonorSound studio in Bristol and began sending ideas to E. "I'd sneak out of bed at 4 in the morning to hear the latest thing John had sent, and try to add my part to it and get it back to him quickly before my 4 year old son woke up," E says. The resulting album is Extreme Witchcraft. Limited Box includes: 180g 45rpm Transparent Yellow 2LP + CD digipak + Extreme Witchcraft Ouija Board with custom EELS planchette + Sticker sheet Less
