New Releases for May 6th, 2021

ARCADE FIRE WE CD/LP

“Our global journey from fear to appreciation is played out in what Arcade Fire themselves accurately describe as a “concise 40-minute epic”. Philosophically, they haven’t been so focussed since 2010’s ‘The Suburbs’, nor so musically dramatic since 2007’s ‘Neon Bible’.” - NME

SHARON VAN ETTEN WE'VE BEEN GOING ABOUT THIS ALL WRONG CD/LP/TAPE

“On her sixth album, much of which was written in the sustained trauma of the past two years, Van Etten is asking herself the same questions we've all been asking: How do we take care of each other when it feels like the world is ending?” - NPR

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN BIT OF PREVIOUS CD/LP

“The new record pulls together Belle and Sebastian’s disparate past selves into a properly coherent continuum, and Murdoch and the band are open-minded in the ways they thread it all together—presenting a collection of songs both delicate and bold, heady but not heavy, fresh but thrillingly recursive.” - Treble

WARPAINT RADIATE LIKE THIS CD/LP

“Their gauzy sonic layers, which have risked tipping into brooding dirges the past, are here instantly recognisable yet given a lightness of touch. An added build and release, as heard on ‘Proof’, gives their sonic collaging a sharper edge.” - Loud & Quiet

RUN THE JEWELS II LP REISSUE

“It’s important to note that Run the Jewels 2 is an album—it’s on a real label and you can pay money to own it. And the transition from mixtape-to-album explains every progression El-P and Killer Mike have made in the past year. This is the most viciously realized rap album of 2014.” - Pitchfork

THE WHO A QUICK ONE / MY GENERATION LP REISSUES

“An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record. Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves” - All Music
