LATEST ALBUM RELEASES
Scroll through for the latest new album releases
Out Of All This Blue (BMG)
Singer Mike Scott hits new heights on a sprawling but consistent sequel to 2015s Modern Blues. Punchy Celtic pop is underpinned by strings that hark back to Seventies soul and, on New York I Love You, some Beck-like plastic funk. Nashville is a Stones pastiche and Monument a nod to The Clash. Over 23 tracks, theres little slack.
★★★★
Native Invader (Decca)
After detours into classical music and theatre, Tori Amos continues her move back to piano pop. These tunes lack her usual bite, but there are reliably bonkers moments, with Cloud Riders featuring a chariot pulled by cats, purring. Her teenage daughter Natashya duets on Up The Creek; tender Marys Eyes is a tribute to her mother.
★★★
The Punishment Of Luxury (100% Records)
Merseyside duo OMD revert to established strengths at the start of their third album since a 2006 reformation. The title track and Isotype are tuneful, stylish synth-pop workouts that would sit neatly alongside their Eighties hits. They also ring some welcome changes: As We Open, So We Close is a fragile ballad, while La Mitrailleuse is backed by gunshots and martial drums.>★★★
A Fever Dream (RCA)
The quartets fourth album leans more on expansive electronics and less on fidgety indie-rock, though theres still variety amid the new directness. With Jonathan Higgss headstrong falsetto matched by high harmonies, Cant Do offers a Mancunian take on Detroit techno. Desire is an energetic, Muse-like stomp, but Put Me Together and the title track are tuneful ballads.
★★★
Fifth Harmony (Epic)
Down to four harmonies after last years departure of Camila Cabello, this American girl-group strike a generic note on an album dominated by the digital bleeps of modern dance. The ten slight songs here breeze by in 33 minutes, but an overall fluffiness is redeemed by the MC Hammer-sampling booty call of He Like That, an appealing detour into Nineties R&B; on Deliver, and a timely appeal for racial unity on Bridges.
★★★
A Deeper Understanding (Atlantic)
The fourth War On Drugs album plunges deeper into the drive-time radio styles that fuelled 2014s Lost In The Dream. Adam Granduciels Dylanesque drawl adds gravitas to lovesick power ballads and heartland rockers that are superbly underpinned by the Philly sextets tape-loops and hazy synths. Imagine Don Henleys Boys Of Summer with extended solos and youre there. Theres even some Born To Run-style glockenspiel.
★★★★
