Sadly, another quiet week on the releases but there are still plenty of really great offerings amongst the slim pickings. Our faves of the week come from Tenebrous Liar who are a supergroup of sorts, made up of acclaim
ed cult photographer
Steve Gullick, enigmatic solo artist Ed Harcourt & south
London bluesman Duke Garwood amongst others. It should appeal to fans of Mark Lanegan & having fallen for this album, we felt we had to make it our gig of the week, too, as they happen to be playing at the Pressure Point on Monday. There’s also the
uk release of the dazzling Toumast album. Their founder, Mousa Ag
Kenya, us
ed to be a member of Tinariwen & this will certainly give you an idea of the sound of this album – not to be miss
ed. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs deliver an incr
edible ep of live favourites which they have taken to the studio & treat
ed to the full works. A worthwhile venture that has provid
ed us with some rather excellent yyy’s action. The Thrills return with their 3rd album & initial copies of the album come with a
jolly nice free sign
ed poster. Lethal Bizzle hits us with another dose of his world view, hip hop styley. There’s also a heap of reissues from the likes of Joan as Police Woman (now comes with a bonus disc), Culture, Os Mutantes &
Rickie Lee Jones(her latest album now comes with a bonus live disc). The albums may be a little lighter than usual but the singles are still arriving in their plenty & this week sees the release of one of the tracks of the year from Architecture In Helsinki, there’s a very limited indies only 7” from Twilight Sad, a gorgeous release on the leaf label from Nancy Elizabeth, the Tiny Masters of Today are out after bedtime again & Nine Black Alps return with the poppiest track from their forthcoming new album.
