The Vision – Missing
‘Missing’ treads the familiar tale of love lost with a stark openness, a funk-filled track underpinned by a catchy vocal hook sure to resonate with its listeners.
Plants & Animals – House on Fire
Montreal trio Plants and Animals’ fifth album is both volatile and tender, pivoting between emotional states with immersive soundscapes that range from propulsive rock to liquid glam a la David Bowie.
Gorillaz – The Pink Phantom feat. Elton John
The Gorillaz’ new album, Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez, feels like a companion piece to modern hysteria.

Kruder & Dorfmeister – Swallowed The Moon
‘Swallowed The Moon’ is the third single to be taken from legendary trip-hop duo Kruder & Dorfmeister’s long-awaited album, 1995, which is set to drop on the 13th of November via G-Stone Recordings.

Hot Chip – Straight To The Morning
“‘Straight to the Morning’ is a disco anthem about going out, for a time when people really can’t, and it features our friend Jarvis Cocker urging us to go ‘straight through until the break of dawn,’” Hot Chip said in a press release. “Somehow he seems an unlikely figure in this all, and we like it that way.”
Atmosphere – Blotter Acid Reflux Syndrome

Fuzz – Returning
Charles Moothart, Ty Segall and Chad Ubovich are FUZZ. FUZZ is three. And III has returned. Album opener “Returning” serves as a sort of mission statement for the album. It’s an auditory meditation on the power of one and the different perspectives of one, whether it is the singular person looking inward, or a group of people coming together as a single unit. Not only is it an echo of the return of FUZZ, but also a broader return to form – raw and empowered through vulnerability.
Sleaford Mods – Mork n Mindy
Frontman Jason Williamson describes the track as “the sound of the central heating and the dying smells of Sunday dinner in a house on an estate in 1982. Concrete, dinted garages, nicotine. Where beauty mainly exists in small cracks on the shell of your imagination.”
