Silent Radio’s guide to the week’s new releases.
Circuit des Yeux Halo on the Inside
The latest from Haley Fohr is a rhapsodic, hedonistic, dance floor-adjacent, pagan-friendly, horns-adorning wall of sound and emotion.
The Loft Dr Clarke
Latest from first Creation band on TV, first to hit the top of the indie singles chart, first to be invited on to a major UK tour and first Creation band to record a coveted BBC radio session – for Janice Long’s Radio One show in 1984.
Steven Wilson The Overview
The record sees the artist once again expanding the parameters of progressive music, a genre he has long helped redefine through both his groundbreaking solo career and landmark work with Porcupine Tree. The 42-minute collection is comprised of just two epic tracks.
Bobbie Peru Nurse Cockscrew
Packed with 12 raw, unfiltered tracks, the album smashes together punk, experimental rock, shoegaze, and psychobilly into a beautifully chaotic soundscape.
Toria Wooff Toria Wooff
Tugging at the cloaks of contemporary folk souls Katie J Pearson or This Is The Kit, it offers a contemporary twist on the Anglo folk tradition through a bloody cocktail of classic rock origins and transcends time as it nods to the lyrical narratives of Led Zeppelin, Fairport Convention and Townes Van Zandt.
Charles Moothart Chaotic Shimmer
Multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. He plays guitar in bands like FUZZ and Primitive Ring, as well as drums in GØGGS, Moonhearts and Ty Segall’s touring band.
Courting Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’
They return with a leaner, sharper sound, while solidifying their mischievous genre-blending reputation with eight tracks that balance an infectious pop sensibility with intense, playful experimentation.
Twin Shadow Georgie
His most stripped-down album; at this point in his life and career, nothing matters more than his deepest, darkest, and brightest feelings.
KEG Fun’s Over
Sharp angling guitarwork that would be at home both on a Fugazi or a Wilco record. Cascading synths and drums, pepperings of trombone and lyrics which invite you into a baffled man’s brain full of joy and anxiety.
Fredrik Svabø Kingo’s Treat
Norwegian musician, composer and producer Fredrik Svabø is a key member of AURORA’s live band, and has contributed to work from Paris Paloma, Sigrid, Askjell and Delara.
Tibia See what heaven looks like
Stockholm duo embracing their mutual love for indie-pop, garage-rock, pop punk and their shared admiration for acts including The Sugarcubes, Gorillaz, Suicide, The Undertones, MGMT and Nirvana
Hekla Turnar
Icelandic theremin maestra with a record full of devastatingly heavy, spectral soundscape-songwriting, entering a sublime paranormal plane of haunting dread.
Neal Francis Return to Zero
It sees the Chicago-based singer-songwriter-pianist creating a strange entangling of timeless rock ’n’ roll and ’70s-era dance music.
Warbringer Wrath and Ruin
Thrash band continues their furious assault against the powers that be with eight new explosive rippers lyrically focused on inspiring listeners to recognize strength in numbers and actualize their class power.
Flora from Kansas Homesick EP
As the title suggests, Flora recorded all the tracks at home – making use of every part of the house. Laying down the guitars and vocals in bedrooms and the basement, adding touches on the worn-out piano in the living room.
Warren Zeiders Relapse, Lies, & Betrayal
The two-part, 20-track album from the country star is an introspection of heartbreak, personal growth and emotional healing through Zeiders’ signature gritty vocals and storytelling
T Gowdy Trill Scan
A suite of songs, literally and figuratively about alchemy, that melds Gowdy’s background in choral and medieval music with his trademark psychoacoustic flickerpulse electronics.
Joni Void Every Life is a Light
Montréal producer and sound collagist Joni Void returns with their warmest and most welcoming album yet, wedding their sampledelic songcraft to downtempo beats
Temperance From Hermitage to Europe
Live album from Italian modern melodic metal group.
Intensive Care & The Body Was I Good Enough?
With glitchy, bellowing vocals and an icy industrial backbone, these eight tracks showcase the respective pedigrees of their creators while summoning a dynamic and dangerous beast through the distortion.
Real Sickies Under A Plastic Bag
Canadian band that brings melody and songcraft to a street-smart style that will please fans of The Ramones, Gob, The Copyrights, Teenage Head, and early Green Day.
El Balcón El Errante
Montreal-based Latin infused ensemble blends traditional music from around the globe with fresh, acoustic grooves.
Golem Mecanique Siamo tutti in pericolo
Artist who touches upon the ashes and fibres of back metal and the DNA of gothic music, literature, sorcery, and most of all—poetry. The title is taken from Pasolini’s final words in his last interview.
Neal Morgan PAW
Drummer for Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan weaving together elements and inspirations from Motown and 70s synths to 90s rock.
Sanhedrin Heat Lightning
Band that has spent the last decade at the forefront of the American heavy metal scene blending traditional metal and hard rock sounds with a fresh modern energy and perspective.
Spiders Sharp Objects
Swedish rock band known for their high-energy performances and their powerful blend of classic and modern rock influences.
Dead Bandit Dead Bandit
Broad, cohesive sonic plains of dubwise country ballads, sullen post-punk Americana, vintage drum machine pulses and shoegaze-tinted laments.
Saeko Killy Dream In Dream
Japanese producer combines blissful downtempo dreamscapes next to upbeat excursions for the psychedelic dancefloor.
Sopraterra Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow
A collection of electro-acoustic compositions that remain experimental at their core, referencing genres like post-rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic, while evoking aural memories of ancient times.
Black Arches Folly
The band is led by the writer Gareth Rees and on this, their first release they are joined by Medway poet and former Billy Childish collaborator ‘Sexton Ming’. The result is a dark and foggy album of ‘deep diving’ psychedelia.
All Against Straight Down To Hell
For those who like their metal loud, fast, and completely devoid of subtlety
Charlie Cunningham In Light
Artist known for his indie-folk-inspired singer-songwriter music that envelops emotions and moods in intimate, breathtakingly beautiful soundscapes.
