STEVE REID - Odyssey Of The Oblong Square, Soul Jazz

STEVE REID

Odyssey Of The Oblong Square

Soul Jazz

LP // £13.99

JAZZ / RELATED

Cat. Number: USLP32

Ships in 1 day

Available for the first time since its original release more than thirty years ago, Odyssey Of The Oblong Square can be regarded as one of Steve Reid's most sought after albums. Issued via Reid's own Mustevic Sound imprint in 1977, the album featured a line-up of bassist David Wertman, percussionist Mohammad Abdullah, trumpeter Ahmed Abdullah and Saxophonists Arthur Blythe and Charles Tyler. By now Reid's music surely needs no introduction to contemporary audiences. The legendary jazz drummer and band leader has been more prominent than ever in recent years, collaborating with Four Tet's Kieran Hebden on a succession of Domi… Read more

Mycorrhizae Realm

ATP

LP // £12.99

FOLK / AMERICANA

Cat. Number: ATPRLP38

Ships in 1 day

Tara Burke's work as Fursaxa has always explored the more interesting outer edges of free-folk, sidestepping the default singer-songwriter tendencies that come with the turf and instead embarking upon a series of dark, witchy albums populated by bedroom-recorded bouts of accordion, dulcimer and ethereal vocals. The lo-fi DIY aesthetics of old are out the door for this latest release, however; Mycorrhizae Realm marks Burke's first studio-based solo album, and it seems to have come about from her work as part of The Valerie Project (the group assembled in tribute to the Czech cult film, Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders). She's j… Read more

TRASH KIT - Trash Kit, UPSET THE RHYTHM

TRASH KIT

Trash Kit

UPSET THE RHYTHM

LP // £11.99

INDIE / ROCK / ALTERNATIVE

Cat. Number: UTR036V

Ships in 1 day

A trio formed by Rachel Aggs, Rachel Horwood and Ros Murray in London last year, Trash Kit are a band who put a different slant on garage rock, incorporating African rhythms and percussion styles, and the odd stretch of South East Asian folk dance (well, they have a track called 'Filipino Boy') into their brand of no-wave, consequently bringing to mind The Slits. The band's sound is mercilessly dismantled, stripped down to an essence of punchy, very skeletal guitar and bass workouts, with a djembe-augmented drum kit and some colourful, implicitly jazzy use of sax and violin. The vocals are often sung as a group or are just pl… Read more

Planet Mu

2LP // £11.99

DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY

Cat. Number: ZIQ260LP

Ships in 1 day

Planet Mu's armour-plated dubstep ensemble follow their seminal first LP with an addendum of sorts, collating rarities and unreleased cuts produced around those album sessions. 'Cloud Seed' is built from that same sort of controlled dancefloor aggression and appreciation of darker sci-fi moods and aesthetics, blending stunning moments of cinematic dystopia like 'Remains Of The Day' and 'Shinju Bridge' with their reworks of neo-classical compositions from John Richards and Gabriel Prokofiev released on the Non-Classical series. There's a healthy amount of vocal tracks too, from the slo-mo robo-daggering riddim set for Warrior Qu… Read more

JONAS REINHARDT - Powers Of Audition, Kranky

JONAS REINHARDT

Powers Of Audition

Kranky

LP // £14.99

ELECTRONIC

Cat. Number: KRANK142V

Ships in 8 days

On his second album for Kranky, academically-inclined synthesist Jonas Reinhardt expands the language of his kosmische, minimalist pursuits (as brilliantly set out on his eponymous analogue opus) to incorporate broader, band-like dynamics that call upon a greater array of instruments, lending a propulsive, full-blooded krautrock feel to certain pieces. The album sounds consumately polished without ever coming across as over-produced, and gets off to a great start, quite literally wearing its influences on its sleeve: opening track 'Mumma Deed Family Clone' is a two minute hunk of primal electronic warmth (that presumably doffs… Read more

NO QUARTER

2LP // £14.99

Cat. Number: NOQ022LP

Ships in 8 days

The construction of this latest opus from C. Spencer Yeh's Burning Star Core comes from the collaging of sixty-six live recordings, captured over the course of an eleven year-period. The editing time for this monstrous undertaking was fairly substantial too, taking up two further years of on-and-off assembly. In addition to Yeh himself, the list of contributors takes in an expansive cast of notable noise and improv artists, including Hair Police's Mike Connelly, Trevor Tremaine and Robert Beatty, plus Mike Shiflet and Lambsbread among others. You could hardly think of this as being a live album given the intense levels of wo… Read more

SERENA MANEESH - S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor, 4AD

Ships in 8 days

This is the second album from Norwegian band Serena Maneesh, following an acclaimed debut, released in 2006. The band have since found a new home as part of the 4AD family, which seems like as apt a label as any to house the band's output given its long history of championing underground rock. That idea is taken to its illogical conclusion with this album: in what sounds conspicuously like an apocryphal rock yarn, the group are said to have recorded the album in a cave. Far from whatever troglodyte imagery that press release nugget conjures the album certainly doesn't feel like it was concocted below sea level. Songs 'I Jus… Read more
