All Hell
Los Campesinos! | Heart Swells
Their first album in seven years, following 2017’s Sick Scenes, Welsh indie rock band Los Campesinos! present All Hell, their seventh studio album. Heavily influenced by the likes of Blur, Pulp and The Smiths, the seven-piece continue to expand on their diverse instrumental textures, moving further away from twee pop to use a wide variety of indie rock styles. Coming nearly two decades into their career, though it’s a matured sound, their energy is as high as ever and All Hell is possibly their best work to date.

STARFACE
Lava La Rue | Dirty Hit
West London musician Lava La Rue follows up on 2022’s Hi-Fidelity EP with STARFACE. Lava La Rue’s long awaited debut album is an epic Sci-Fi inspired adventure, full of fantasy. Talking about the principles behind the album, they said “the moral is that the tenderness we should have for each other is the answer to all of our problems.” Exploring various genre influences from funk, to dance, to alt rock, and featuring collaborations from Cuco, Audrey Nuna, and more, they have their eyes set on world domination.

Bando Stone and The New World
Childish Gambino | Wolf+Rothstein - RCA Records
Bando Stone & the New World is the fifth studio album by American musician Donald Glover, and the final project serviced under his moniker Childish Gambino. The project features Glover taking on the role of Bando Stone, a singer stumbling into a post-apocalyptic world. Primarily an alternative R&B, and hip hop record, the rhythm of the album is generally cohesive but moves at such a pace, it doesn't give you a chance to breathe. Glover's sophisticated songwriting is on point for this rather frantic farewell.

Big Ideas
Remi Wolf | Remi Wolf PS
Soul-pop force Remi Wolf releases her highly anticipated sophomore album, Big Ideas. Wolf is wonderfully experimental with her blending of genres, combining that with her evocative lyrics and quirky harmonies. Discussing progression from her debut record, Wolf said “Sonically, I've developed a lot”. The Californian singer and songwriter’s second studio album is original and incredibly loud. Cheeky, full of charisma, sarcastic and genuinely funny, Big Ideas is playful and lot of fun. It’s going to be a busy few years for Remi Wolf.

Happenings
Kasabian | Columbia
English rock veterans Kasabian introduce Happenings, their eighth studio album. Inspired by gigs of 1960s psychedelic bands, it's the band's shortest record to date, at exactly 28 minutes. When asked about the sound of the album, frontman Serge Pizzorno said “The influences are there, but it’s been made with the tools that I have around me now. It’s a really simple sentiment.”. With their expert blend of rock and electronica, it's a true return to form for one of the biggest bands of the past 20 years.
