Cat Power is back with her first new album in six years. It’s called Wanderer, and it’s out October 5 via Domino. The follow-up to Sun was produced by Chan Marshall herself and includes a song called “Woman” featuring Lana Del Rey. The album was recorded over the last few years. Marshall says: “The course my life has taken in this journey—going from town to town, with my guitar, telling my tale; with reverence to the people who did this generations before me. Folk singers, blues singers, and everything in between. They were all wanderers, and I am lucky to be among them.”

These are hymns for the young at heart.TPC has a fast tempo swagger, anxious but proud. This an album you can bounce to while you find your way through too many beers and one night stands. These fast times may be fleeting, but they’re worth it.

Phosphorescent returns with his seventh studio LP, C’est La Vie. Recorded in Nashville at Matthew Houck’s own Spirit Sounds Studio, C’est La Vie reveals a crystallization of what made Muchacho such a breakout – a little sweetness and a little menace, sometimes boot-stomping and sometimes meditative. A lot of life was lived between these records: Houck became a father (twice), built his studio, escaped New York. And C’est La Vie does have a hefty, career-spanning feel. But there’s a newfound wisdom, too, a deeper well for all that livin’. The magic of Matthew Houck’s music has always been the way he weaves shimmering, almost golden-sounding threads through elemental, salt-of-the-earth sounds. It’s not experimental, exactly, but it’s singular and it’s definitely not traditional. That knack, the through-line across the Phosphorescent catalogue, is front and centre here.

Bunnymen Classics Transformed & New Songs With Strings & Things Attached ‘I’m not doing this for anyone else. I’m doing it as it’s important to me to make the songs better. I have to do it.’ Ian McCulloch This new studio album will see The Bunnymen, still lead by the indominable Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant, revisit some of their greatest songs to rearrange and transform them with co producer Andy Wright…and strings and things. Expect a couple of brand new tracks to accompany the classics. Echo & the Bunnymen’s dark, swirling fusion of post-punk and The Doors/The Velvets-inspired pop psychedelia has brought the group twenty top 20 hits and nine top 20 albums in the UK so far in their 40 year career. The band have come a long way from the group’s infamous first concert as a three-piece with a drum machine in 1979 at the legendary Erics club in Liverpool, The Bunnymen still perform sell-out concerts across the world today. Their seminal albums ‘Crocodiles’, ‘Heaven Up Here’, ‘Porcupine’ and ‘Ocean Rain’ have been a major influence for acts such as Coldplay, The Killers and The Flaming Lips whilst later albums ‘Evergreen’ and ‘What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?’ and ‘Siberia & Meteorites’ demonstrate what an amazing body of work the band have. The Bunnymen are still revered by those in the best of popular culture. In the past year alone, the highly acclaimed and culturally phenomenal Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ has used the song ‘Nocturnal Me’ whilst the equally comparable ’13 Reasons Why’ has used ‘The Killing Moon’, a song also used on another Netflix show, ‘Dead of Summer’.

Every one of Gregory Alan Isakov’s albums has started with a guitar. Well, strictly speaking, there’s a bit — like two seconds worth — of percussion that begins his 2013 release The Weatherman; and, I guess his 2016 release With the Colorado Symphony technically has a brief moment of orchestral swell before his guitar breaks in. But for all intents and purposes Isakov starts his works with his primary instrument — his 1967 Gibson J-50.
So, the fact that his latest release Evening Machines begins with a Rhoades keyboard is a startling contrast to what has come to be expected from the Boulder-based songwriter.
But the musician-farmer Isakov is used to flowing with the change of seasons. “I switch gears a lot,” he said. “I wake up really early in the growing season, and then in the winters, I’m up all night. I’m constantly moving back and forth.”
On his farm, Isakov has a studio where he likes to leave all of the gear turned on, so that if inspiration strikes, he doesn’t need to take the time to boot up. “A lot of the music that was written for this record happened at a really difficult time of my life. When I finished a six-month stretch in Europe I had a lot of time to be alone, and feel things that maybe I hadn’t in a long time, being on the road and with the lifestyle of touring. I experienced this new sensation of anxiety — this level of physical anxiety that I’ve been investigating ever since.” To cope, he turned to writing songs — “some of which were ways for me to ground myself during that time where it was really bad,” he explained. “Sometimes I couldn’t sleep, so I’d walk into the studio and work really hard into the night. A lot of times I would find myself in the light of all these VU meters and the tape machine glow, so that’s where the title came from. I recorded mostly at night, when I wasn’t working in the gardens. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, morning or afternoon, this music always feels like evening to me.”
Isakov sketched out 35 to 40 songs himself during marathon studio sessions that could stretch up to 14 hours for many months. He recorded all the instruments and slowly intertwined the band: Steve Varney, Jeb Bows, John Paul Grigsby, Philip Parker, and Max Barcelow. A bevy of other contributors — including his brother Ilan Isakov, and his long-time musical friend Jamie Mefford, who, according to the credits contributed “god noises” on this album — supplied additional sonic flourishes as well.
Like many of the songwriting legends that he holds dear, Isakov’s lyrics are vivid and deliberate. “Chemicals,” observes, “You saw her bathing in the creek/Now you’re jealous of the water.” “Did I hear something break?/Was that your heart or my heart?” he asks on “Caves,” while “San Luis” repeats, “I’m a ghost of you, you’re a ghost of me.”
