Records of the week

A wide-ranging week of new releases, from the long-awaited return of Boards of Canada, and Paul McCartney reflecting on his Liverpool childhood, to the luminous ambient drift of Gigi Masin and the cosmic electronics of Danalogue’s solo debut. Kurt Vile returns with another warm and understated set of jangling songwriting, while The Sleeves and Mabe Fratti & Bill Orcutt explore sparse, intimate spaces between folk, improvisation and experimental music. Brian Jackson revisits the Gil Scott-Heron catalogue with help from Black Thought, Moodymann and Masters At Work, Joey Quiñones blends Chicano soul and reggae on Inna Soul Steady Situation, and there are anniversary reissues of The Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish and Danzig’s first two albums on coloured vinyl.

Staff Picks

A few favourites from the racks this week: Manning Fireworks finds MJ Lenderman balancing ragged country-rock and quietly devastating songwriting; Only Built 4 Cuban Linx remains one of hip-hop’s coldest and most cinematic records; Skull Snaps still hits with raw funk grooves and endlessly sampled drum breaks; and The Cosmic Tones Research Trio drifts through deep spiritual jazz, ambient electronics and cosmic improvisation.
