Yet the ancestral spirits summoned by their art are always restless. With all this in mind, the casual observer might have guessed from its title that Requiem, their beatific and melancholic album of 2016, was to be their last. Travelling from their inscrutable origins in the Swedish village of Korpilombo across the stages and festivals of the world in the last decade, this band has created their incendiary music entirely according to their own co-ordinates. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Formidable psychic warriors, channelers of the mystic and proponents of a spiritual quest that transcends this realm, Goat remain a band shrouded in mystery. A high watermark and a modern-day masterpiece, Moments of Madness is being tipped as the most significant album of Hugh’s career.” Vocally and lyrically a career-best, Hugh has never sounded so good on his 10th solo album. Self-produced, and with Cornwell playing all of the instruments himself, Moments of Madness’s 10 incredible tracks finds Hugh flexing his musical muscles with a stripped down, offbeat, reverberating sixties vibe ringing from the seductive melodies and lyrically distinctive perceptions that are indelibly stamped with Hugh’s trademark imagination. ![]() His tenth solo opus Moments of Madness continues his illustrious output by experimenting with musical genres as his enviable reputation as a wordsmith resounds across this album’s songs. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Widely regarded as the poet laureate of the punk era (from his early career fronting The Stranglers to his transition as a solo artist), Hugh Cornwell has built a substantial and singular body of impressive solo albums. Following 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, The Car finds Arctic Monkeys running wild in a new and sumptuous musical landscape and contains some of the richest and most rewarding vocal performances of Turner’s career.” THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Arctic Monkeys’ seventh studio album The Car features 10 new songs written by Alex Turner, produced by James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, RAK Studios, London and La Frette, Paris. I just wanted to work with these guys because I knew the chemistry we had and that we still have. It’s not about responding to the past or whatever our bullshit legacy is. Bachmann puts it bluntly: “What I really think about going back to the Archers and doing a new record is that the three other members of this band are awesome. He still spits bile, but it’s less likely to concern scene politics, music trends, or shady record labels thwarting the dreams of a young rock band. Today, singer-songwriter Bachmann’s lyrics balance righteous wrath with a complex tangle of adult perspective. Notably, Johnson’s signature trebly lines peal clearly above the din instead of struggling to be heard. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band’s four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. ![]() ![]() When they emerged from North Carolina’s ’90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers’ hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Reason in Decline, Archers Of Loaf’s first studio album since the 1998 release of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. I’d rather spend my time telling you about some of the worthwhile albums she’ll be overshadowing next week. But really, you don’t need me to tell you about Tay-Tay or her new tunes - you can read about them on pretty much every other entertainment website on the planet. It’s not that I have something against her - I interviewed her a few times back in the day, and found her unfailingly charming, if somewhat understandably guarded. If you came here looking for all the skinny on Taylor Swift’s upcoming 10th album Midnights, you came to the wrong place.
