New vinyl releases – just announced
Page content here…
Each week, we scope out our upcoming supply of vinyl releases, giving you an exclusive peek at what is to come flying off our shelves over the next week. Look at you, all smug: an insider!
Hooking up to the electronic power supply, we’ll be sorted for techno, with Bambounou and Bruce’s Final Conference pummelling us into oblivion. They’re closely followed by DJ Loser’s hardcore Urban Survival Anthems and Sherelle’s footworky 160 Down The A406 to boot. Sofie Birch has slated several releases – Whisper Fold Brush and Repair Techniques – while Lingua Ignota is sure to cover the darker, more depraved angle of solo gothics on Sinner Get Ready.
On the deeper housier end, we’ll go metropolitan: Art Of Noise play live in Tokyo for Noise In The City, while Mark E’s similarly-named In The City inhabits a deep house enclave in Birmingham, not the Japanese megalopolis. Luke Vibert, excitingly, debuts a breakbeat dreamer for We’re Going Deep, while Ryuichi Sakamoto’s long-awaited soundtrack to the film Minimata is finally slated as a limited 12” for Light In The Attic. Finally, by way of gaseous minimal vapours, Lamin Fofana’s Darkwater will adopt a deliquescent take on race.
In dub and reggae, we’re largely blessed to be in the company of Aba Shanti Soundsystem, with several new releases by the troop incoming, including The Shanti Ites’ Joshua Horns and Stepping Out Of Babylon. Digi-dub is checked by The Digitalites’ Voice Of Thunder, while Roots Unity ensure human Righteousness, and none other than Mafia & Fluxy come through with some cosmic 7” wonk, Zulu, courtesy of Jah Shaka. And let’s not forget the pioneers: King Tubby’s ‘Volume 2’ of Look What You Dubbing, an album-wide expansion from his classic dub version of Dennis Brown’s ‘Look What You Doing’, appears in posthumous collaboration with the Ring Craft Posse.
Meanwhile, our crystal ball predicts a surrealist hip-hop mood – pree John Glacier’s digital soundscapery on Shiloh: Lost For Words – as much as it will cover the loud and brash, by no other way that Kid Cudi and Kanye West’s most endearing collaborative episode, Kids See Ghosts. The UK also has a strong claim to the throne, with Bennadict, Slim and Ella Mae dropping the lo-fi modern classic Teal, and Berwyn charting his journey from Trinidad to East London on Tape 2 / Formalhaut. On the chillier end of the spectrum, an upcoming 6-year anniversary version of the Blockhead classic, Uncle Tony’s Colouring Book, is set to materialise.
In the indie and rock camps, we’ll be swamped with classics from huge names, all sure to raise an inquisitive collector’s eyebrow. Lenny Kravitz’ Let Love Rule; Janis Joplin’s Kozmic Summertime; Foo Fighters’ Retroactive; and King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard’s Butterfly 3000 are but to name a few.
The metal sub-camp is likewise teeming with bloodied energy, imbuing us with dread. Wolves In The Throne Room have shared with us their new album Primordial Arcana; Blood Incantation plot an Interdimensional Extinction; while none other than Exodus will thrash our lugs to death with a reissue of Shovel Head Kill Machine.
We’ll also have a deluge of live rock albums in stock: once again, we’ll hear Leonard Cohen play Live In Switzerland, and Joni Mitchell will do so Live At Carnegie Hall. It doesn’t stop there: the Rolling Stones’ A Bigger Bang gets the blu-ray live-documentary-and-CD bundle treatment, while the unofficial live Johnny Ramone album, Live At CBGB’s, finally harkens a proper release. Pearl Jam are to suspend us awesomely in a State Of Love And Trust: Live In Chicago, for their seminal radio broadcast, whilst – last but not least – Guns N’ Roses’ have been spotted bowling down the Rock n’ Roll Road.
In terms of new music, soul heads will find themselves in a pleasant situation. Jordan Rakei’s What We Call Life, Troy Simmons and Soul Shack’s I Can’t Let You Go, and Salome Bey singing Songs From Dude are all sure to cause involuntary hip-sways. Meanwhile, Jose Feliciano asks us to Light My Fire, and the legendary Diana Ross says Thank You for digging with Juno.
On the funkier side, Children In Space urge us to Guess What, synthesising a childhood lesson in cosmic boppery. Jazzers, meanwhile, will be pleased to take in the new GoGo Penguin, Garden Dog Barbecue, while soaking up classics from Ahmed Abdul Malik (Jazz Sahara), Nat King Cole (Sings The Great American Songbook) and Charles Mingus (Tijuana Moods) all the same.
