Released 8th October 2021. Memory Catalogue issues 1-3 to give away with purchases of the album. SK says: 'A first album from BBNG without founder member Matthew Tavares finds them moving away from the instrumental hip-hop sound of their earlier work to a European-flavoured jazz, blending ECM saxes and Portico Quartet textures. Closing track 'Talk Meaning' is a spiritual jazz epic propelled by string charts from the great Arthur Verocai.' BADBADNOTGOOD return with their highly anticipated ne...

Released 10th September 2021. Focusing on their craft, staying out of the fray, and holding fast their faith to find new ways to express the discord and delight of being alive, to turn the duality of existence into hymns we can share, Low present HEY WHAT. These ten pieces—each built around their own instantaneous, undeniable hook—are turbocharged by the vivid textures that surround them. The ineffable, familiar harmonies of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker break through the chaos like a life ra...

Released 27th August 2021. SK says: 'An accomplished and varied sophomore effort from the collaborative project of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and The National's Aaron Dessner, combining the former's deconstructionist approach with the latter's plaintive melodic sensibility. Both men had a big hand in the production of Taylor Swift's acclaimed 'folklore' and 'evermore' albums and the pop superstar returns the favour here, appearing on two tracks alongside an impressive roster of guests which inc...

Released 13th August 2021. SK says: "Wasting no time in following up last year's exuberant 'Imploding The Mirage' and once again enlisting Shawn Everett (The War on Drugs) and Jonathan Rado (Foxygen, Alex Cameron) to produce/co-write, the new album is an intense and personal affair which sees frontman Brandon Flowers unpack his small-town Utah upbringing- resident vox-pops bridge some of the album's songs, discussing dead-end jobs and level crossing accidents. The influence of Springsteen has...

Released 16th July 2021. SK says: "As the tongue-in-cheek cover and title may suggest, this is Mayer's affectionate tribute to the axemen-turned-adult contemporary titans of the 1980s: Clapton, Knopfler, Lukather. Featuring session legends Greg Phillinganes and Lenny Castro alongside frequent collaborator Pino Palladino (himself no stranger to the studio masterpieces of the 80s- 'Boys Of Summer' anyone?), this may be the singer/guitarist's finest work since Continuum."

Released 25th June 2021. “I went looking for peace,” says songwriter M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger about his new album Quietly Blowing It, out March 26, 2021, on Merge Records. “It’s not exactly a record about the state of the world—or my world—in 2020, but more a retrospective of the past five years of my life, painted in sort of impressionistic hues. Maybe I had the presence of mind when I was writing Quietly Blowing It to know that this was the time to go as deep as I needed to in o...
