I ambled in to see PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCAST last night in CYPRESS AVENUE…really enjoyable gig ( bit to much chatter going on at times but sher what can you do) …the band were excellent though, savage good musicians…9 of them on stage at various points, playing all sorts of instruments and making all kinds of sounds.…excellent stuff it was. SILVERBACKS were support and i was mad to get in to see them but they were just finishing when i arrived ( work and family and time sometimes don’t allow things to happen) INTEGRAL for the 3rd June have brand new albums by ANGEL OLSEN, DRIVE BY TRUCKERS and JONNY GREENWOOD as well as a reissue by THE KILLS .Going to hand you over to Shane now who will take you through further down the road releases and announcements…Cheers Ray! How’s it going everyone, hope ye’re all well. Lots of releases once again this week to get through. It’s great to have so much choice and things to look forward to in music, keeps us all going! Can be a bit mean on the wallet though! First up is the 40th anniversary edition of MJ’s ‘Thriller’. Out in November on 2 CD and 2 LP. Biggest selling album of all time? He was some talent. Sad about the other stuff though. Second is definitely one to look forward to, Paolo Nutini is releasing a brand new album in July, called ‘Last Night in the Bittersweet’. We like him in the shop. Interesting artist and this one sounds interesting: “‘Last Night In The Bittersweet’ is a 70-minute epic that spans the distance from classic rock to post-punk to hypnotic Krautrock, in the process proving its value as his deepest, most varied, most accomplished, and ultimately most rewarding set so far. The insistent Motorik rhythms of new single ‘Lose It’ brings shades of early ‘70s German bands like Can and Neu!, and are a product of Paolo writing increasingly on bass guitar. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Through The Echoes’ is a timeless classic in the lineage of Ben E. King and Otis Redding, with Nutini’s vocal delivery reminding us why he got snapped up by Atlantic in the first place.” Third is another favourite of the shop’s ASH. They are reissuing their debut 1977 on cool splattered vinyl (see above), also in July. Great band! And in September, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE have a brand new one, ‘Asphalt Meadows’, we will have the indies pink version of that! Also coming around the corner YUNGBLUD‘s new album, a new one from THE DREAM SYNDICATE, YARD ACT are reissuing their ‘Dark Days EP’ on limited silver vinyl and even more limited cassette, a MADNESS reissue, anniversary reissue from SHAKESPEARS SISTER and finally a new release from FAYE WEBSTER coming in October. Adam and Ray are back with another vidjo! https://youtu.be/pe2G4iAIIUY That’s all from me this week.. Back to you Ray, sound! Thanks Shane!! Right so Integral then for the 10th June have (and unfortunately this one is sold out on vinyl) DAVID SYVLAIN “ sleepwalkers” revised and remastered version on Groenland records…we were only allocated a few vinyl and lads had asked for it before i even knew about it…vinyl gone for everyone else sorry…but there is a CD version also …which includes an unreleased track.Here is “ world citizen…” with Ryuichi Sakamoto(301) David Sylvian ~ World Citizen (I won’t be dissapointed) – YouTube  Invada records have the NICK CAVE/WARREN ELLIS score to “ la panthere des nalges” on CD, picture disc vinyl and white vinyl version…vinyl include download codes.I keep asking why the download codes seem to be becoming less of a thing, but i can’t really say why that is because i simply don’t know…ill keep asking folks!New YANN TIERSEN album out via Mute on 10th June…well cd is june 10..lp is sept 30th… Nearly all the record companies took our orders for RSD 2 on June 18th back along in March except Universal so we have to place our order for uni rsd 2 titles by close of business tomorrow…if you wishlisted already for these than all good, they would have been noted but if you want to wishlist for any of these then please do it by tomorrow…here is a quick run through the titles for uni rsd 2 on june 18th.
