I'm Totally Fine With It Don't Give A Fuck Anymore (limited emoji yellow vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: ROCKACT 157LPX. Rel: 10 May 24
Indie/Alternative
Review: 'I'm Totally Fine With It Don't Give A Fuck Anymore' reads the WhatsApp message on the front cover of the upcoming album of the same name by Scottish duo Arab Strap. Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton have been on a blazing nonstop run ever since they reunited the group in 2019. Confronting conspiracy theories, online addiction, and societal decay, the lead single 'Bliss' is a steady reminder of Arab Strap's multi-generational appeal - "It's about women being terrorized online; it's about cowardice and bigotry. It's about how we expose ourselves on social platforms while hiding alone at home. But you can dance to it too!" Moffat said on the press release. As the haunting melodies intertwine with Moffat's gritty regional vocals on the 15-track album, dimly lit dive bars and sketchy alleyways come to mind and not the cyberspace dystopia that many other musicians would go to. It's a unique take on a subject that needs unique takes, an explicit piece of sang prose in an age of censorship. Just the cover alone lets you know that Arab Strap is not going to be added to your easy-listening playlist. The icing on the cake? The cheeky decision to make the disc a bright emoji yellow.

Review: To categorise bdrmm as "British shoegazers" may be accurate. Or not. There has to be a limit to how far a genre definition can be stretched before it begins to include a whole load of other noises and styles. In the case of Microtonic, the sonic palette is at once broader than most understandings of the sound and yet it's hard to pinpoint a more apt tagline. Sometimes sweeping statements work for a reason. Arguably their most far reaching work, and certainly up there with their finest and most epic hours, bdrmm don't reject the sound of the cosmos space told through soaring guitars and lofi distortion - the title track, 'In The Electric Field', which features Olivesque, and 'Lake Disappointment' are just two cases in point. But then opener 'Goit', with Working Men's Club's Sydney Minsky Sargeant, 'Snares', and 'Clarkycat' embrace other moods. Intelligent dnb, industrial-edged electro, chill out house, to name but a few.

Review: Popular Hull-based shoegaze quartet bdrmm are building up to their latest tour with the release of single 'Standard Tuning, arriving hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed second album, 'I Don't Know'. Written and recorded during those same sessions and very much similarly flavoured, it continues a fine vein of form right now, with high praise coming in from the likes of Rolling Stone and Consequence. This special 10" also comes with a remix of the live favourite 'Alps' by Ninja Tune/Cambria Instruments electronica specialist Nathan Fake.

Microtonic (blue & white marbled vinyl LP + MP3 download code (indie exclusive))
Cat: ROCKACT 164LPX. Rel: 27 Feb 25
Indie/Alternative
Review: When Yorkshire-based four-piece bdrmm released their self-titled debut in 2020 via Sonic Cathedral, it was a homage to the power of foreboding reverb-soaked guitar music. Now with their 2024 release - after they moved tentatively towards it with their 2023 follow-up I Don't Know - they have ventured into soundscaped dance music kept within a pop context. It's still got a darkness to it and the guitar is there but it's given no more importance than the synths and arpeggiators. Overall, having more tools to sculpt their sound with makes them sound liberated. Lead singer Ryan Smith has one of the most evocative voices in British music, leaning into the stoner feel that reverb provides, but still retaining an ear for melody - as if to say there's no shame in pop. Having the lead singer of Working Men's Club - Syd Minsky-Sargeant - as a guest is a huge get for them and suggests that bdrmm have elite taste for collaborators as well as the ability to recognise when the time is right to shift from what they first set out to do when they formed. This is a rebirth and they sound all the better for it.

As The Love Continues (Love Record Stores 2021) (limited gatefold gold marbled vinyl 2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: ROCKACT 140LPXS. Rel: 04 Oct 21
Post Rock/Experimental
Review: It's hard not to feel you're misusing words like 'auteurs' when talking about art. Nevertheless, for some artists and acts the term applies perfectly. And many people would likely agree that Mogwai are one for that list. After 25 years in the game, putting out ten studio albums including As the Love Continues, not to mention scores of EPs and more than a few movie scores, you can spot their signature a mile away, with just a hint of their sound.
As the Love does nothing to disprove that point, and all the better for it. It's a woozy mixture of sorrowful epics and life-affirming crescendos built from post-rock foundations, but divergent enough to send us into a hundred directions without really veering from that course. A sound bigger than most mountains, we hope they never get exhausted from the climb.

Every Country's Sun (gatefold 2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: ROCKACT 108LPS. Rel: 26 Jan 23
Post Rock/Experimental
Review: Revered psyche rock man Dave Fridmann, produced this one from Scottish guitar heroes Mogwai, just as he did their previous albums Come On Die Young and Rock Action. As always it is a structured soundscape built from the bottom up with an array of contrasting sounds, drones, textures, timbres and moods. The 56 minute record manages to be grateful and impactful with its hymnal tracks, trance-rock overtones and subtle but ever rising sense of euphoria always keeping you locked in. This is an album that will keep old fans happy and likely win over plenty of new ones.

The Bad Fire (limited gatefold clear vinyl 2xLP (side 4 etched) (indie exclusive))
Cat: ROCKACT 166LPX. Rel: 23 Jan 25
Post Rock/Experimental
Review: Marking the Glasgow post-rockers' 11th release, this record comes alive through the skilled hands of producer John Congleton, renowned for his work with acts like Sigur Ros. Kicking off with 'God Gets You Back,' the track throws you into a chaotic soundscape that feels like Daft Punk being pursued by My Bloody Valentine. Meanwhile, 'Fanzine Made Of Flesh' and 'Lion Rumpus' play with contrasts, merging whimsy and heft. The Bad Fire encapsulates Mogwai's talent for weaving beauty into sonic intensity, ensuring their unique voice resonates as powerfully as ever.

Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003 (gatefold 2xLP + MP3)
Cat: ROCKACT 70LP. Rel: 26 Oct 23
Post Rock/Experimental
Review: Moody Scottish rock experimentalists Mogwai have got a vast catalogue of post-everything sound that goes from the absorbingly dark and heavy soundtrack to the Zidane film to the spacious, noisy and cacophonous rock drawl of albums like Mr Beast. They are also superb in the live area and have played so many times before for BBC radio that they put together Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003 back in 2005 with some of their favourite bits from seven of those sessions. The album is dedicated to John Peel who hosted the bulk of these in the first place.

Review: Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised the latest from Glasgow post-rock pioneers Mogwai adds a new ferocity. It was, after all, forged at a time of personal loss and family trauma for several members. The opener, 'God Gets You Back', weaves hypnotic vintage synths with Autotuned vocals, building into a thrilling crescendo that sets the tone for the album's expansive soundscapes. 'Hi Chaos' begins with a folk-like delicacy, evolving into a storm of ebowed drones, thunderous drums and towering riffs, offset by swirling sci-fi synths. The interplay between restraint and eruption continues on 'Pale Vegan Hip Pain', where cavernous guitar notes bloom into intricate melodies, offering a moody respite before the intensity of tracks like 'If You Find This World Bad You Should See Some Of The Others', which brims with ominous tones and a symphony of layered guitar noise. Tracks like 'Hammer Room' bubble with intricate synth lines woven into soaring melodies, while '18 Volcanos' evokes shoegaze grandeur with its vibrant oscillations. Each piece thrives on emotional resonance, eschewing words for pure instrumental storytelling - very much the Mogwai way, in other words, just sharper and more vicious than ever.

Atomic (Soundtrack) (gatefold heavyweight vinyl 2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: ROCKACT 102LP. Rel: 01 Apr 16
Post Rock/Experimental
Review: Whilst Mogwai's scores for Zidane and Les Revenants were diverting enough pieces of work, it's some testimony to the frontier-striding attitude and emotional heft of 'Atomic' - which marks a soundtrack to the movie made by Mark Cousins and shown on BBC4 last year, dealing with the atomic age - that is stands amongst their very best work, Expanding the band's palette to include Kraftwerk-esque electronica and emotive orchestration alongside their trademark six-string melancholy. these powerful and resonant pieces pack a mighty punch, summoning awe and fear in equal, elegiac and singularly appropriate measure.

Review: Straight outta shoegaze central, Oxford UK, since 1989, Swervedriver have been providing us with smoothly distorted guitars, vocals of refreshing reverberation and just those hints of angst and melancholia to get you through the decade. Future Ruins, like a lot of post and alt-rock to hit the shelves these days has touches of nihilism abound, although it's no secret Swervedriver have been offering this atmosphere for aeons longer than most. For fans of bands like Dinosaur Jr. yes, Swervedriver's latest effort remains firmly within the grungey and pastel confines of shoegaze, and with the genre's hey day missed so much but so many, it's never a pain to revisit the glory days of motion picture soundtracks.
