…remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road. A 2CD deluxe edition offers an interesting selection of bonus tracks (20 in total) including previously unreleased David Kosten mixes of some album tracks, unheard demos and BBC live sessions and recordings.
Starsailor was already a critic’s darling in the band’s native England during mid-2001, and the group’s painfully melodic debut, Love Is Here, poised the band to rise in the shadows of Doves, Coldplay, and Travis. Starsailor, however, isn’t as polished as its counterparts, but that’s not to say Love Is Here isn’t a beautiful piece of work. It’s less lilting than Coldplay’s Parachutes, and frontman James Walsh’s aching vocals shape his angularity as a singer/songwriter. Starsailor is…

Recorded during his summer 2026 run of outdoor UK shows, which brought together a phenomenal band and a setlist spanning the songs that have defined Weller’s musical journey, in performances widely praised by fans and press alike. The album brings together classic tracks and much-loved favourites from across Weller’s remarkable catalogue, spanning The Jam, The Style Council and his solo work, alongside a cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic, Move On Up. Talking about the live album, Paul said: “We hope this live recording gives justice to the experience that we and the audience felt on these tour dates. We all felt they were very special shows – all of ’em! This recording is straight off the sound board. All real, all true, more power, more love.” Reviewing Weller’s…
Jimmy LaValle’s The Album Leaf delivers 
We are living after the end of the end of history—both in the sense that Francis Fukuyama’s 1989 theory of a democratic finish line has come and gone, and that it feels disconcertingly like we’re living through the end times themselves, alive after everything and left to make a life in the wreckage that optimism left behind. We are living post- everything: post-liberalism, post-language, post-hope. On “Culture,” Greg Freeman adds two more to the list: post-culture and post-rock-and-roll. The current moment, he says, is simply beyond analogy. When all our words are “plagiarized before they’re written,” as he puts it on “Loser’s Prize,” even art itself begins to feel mind-numbingly futile. Everything that’s worth saying has already been said, but if we say nothing at all…
After Gary the fibreglass gorilla (and the wildly successful 2024 album named after him) took indie icons Blossoms far and wide, for their sixth studio effort the band have opted to shift their focus to something a tad closer to home. Named after the local moniker for Stockport Town Hall where frontman Tom Ogden tied the knot, 
The line the Beatles drew to mark a turning point in late 1965 was both bold and significant. With the release of 
It’s fair to say that Meshell Ndegeocello has made a career out of declining to stay in one place too long. Since helping spark the neo soul genre with her 1993 debut album, Plantation Lullabies, she has variously worked in the fields of jazz, R&B, alternative rock, reggae, fusion and gospel. Her last album, 
The idea that an album could be made piecemeal, in different countries, via the internet, would have been inconceivable forty years ago. Such technology would have seemed strange; stranger still might have been the idea that the traditional method – that is, recording a series of songs in one place during a set period of time – is far less viable these days. The logistical demands of creative practice in 2026 mean a piecemeal approach is an all-too necessary solution for many artists. Studios and practice spaces are expensive to rent. It’s difficult to organise a group of busy people (who may not have made music their full-time profession) into one place to record. 
Famously, in life Mark E. Smith never played by the rules, and the same seems to continue in his psychic afterlife. Put together by Smith confidants Ed Blaney and Simon “Ding” Archer, the album takes nine leftover vocal and lyrical pieces from the iconic frontman and reimagines them in new soundscapes — a process that somehow feels entirely in keeping with Smith, who may even have preferred this method, sidestepping the graft and grind of keeping a band together.
…features 104 tracks, demos, outtakes, live performances, interviews, and other rare recordings half of which are previously unreleased.
For a band who were together for only five years, The Smiths left quite the cultural footprint. It seems as if Johnny Marr has spent the nearly 40 years since the band’s split throwing himself into everything – whether it be joining Modest Mouse or The Cribs, recording with fellow Mancunian legend Bernard Sumner in Electronic and even appearing on the panel show Would I Lie to You.

One of the highlights of the King Crimson 50th anniversary CD/Blu-ray editions to date has been King Crimson producer David Singleton’s series of Elemental Mixes as he uses the full spectrum of available studio sessions for each album to produce very different takes on the familiar songs and pieces.
