The biggest and best of this week's new music.
These New South Whales - TNSW
Rousing, rallying and raucous, These New South Whales are, for the most part, having a whole lot of fun.
Gently Tender - Take Hold Of Your Promise!
A debut that embraces optimism and nihilism in equal measures.
Maggie Rogers - Surrender
Somehow both modern and instilled in the past.
black midi - Hellfire
Halfway between unhinged madness and art rock precision.
Omar Apollo, KOKO, London
He’s a bonafide people-pleaser.
mxmtoon - rising
A fresh and welcome face that disregards gatekeeping in favour of utilising nostalgia to captivate new audiences.
Omar Apollo - Ivory
Conflating his electro-pop tendencies with the occasional stride of a campfire guitar, he turns everything he touches to glistening radio gold.
Sundara Karma - Oblivion!
Fizzing hyperpop influences tie with skyward melodies to create a near-masterpiece.
Wallows - Tell Me That It’s Over
A superlative ode to vulnerability.
Camp Cope - Running With The Hurricane
A snapshot of intimacy, thriving friendships and a profound understanding of the human condition.

Not just an album, but a beaming victory lap.

An inevitable ascension of a band who are so acutely aware of their own gifts.

Korn are anew, and ‘Requiem’ sees them fearless, embracing what made them famous to begin with.
Bastille - Give Me The Future
Bastille’s choral, digestible power pop DNA is present, but grittier than usual.
MICHELLE - After Dinner We Talk Dreams
Flecked with hints of pop greatness.
Palace - Shoals
A far more existentially reflective side of Palace.
