Shana Cleveland – Night of the Worm Moon (Hardly Art)

The frontwoman of surf-rockers La Luz steps out on her own with a serene album inspired in part by Afro-futurist Sun Ra, blending pastoral folk with cosmic concerns.

Lowly - Hifalutin (Bella Union)

The Budos Band - V (Daptone Recording Company)

The first release in 5 years for the Staten Island instrumental 9 piece is as menacing and unhinged as ever, expanding on the Ethiopian inspired rhythms and fuzz-fueled riffs which put them on the map.

Fontaines D.C. - Dogrel (Partisan Records)

The snarling debut from the dublin punk-rockers has heralded big claims as punk's next big thing, but with more texture, colour and nuance than might be expected from such praise.

Bella Boo - 'Supervillain' EP (Studio Barnhus)
