The former Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser has a new solo album called The Loves of Your Life. The LP is a family affair with Leithauser playing most of the instruments, with wife and daughters backing vocals. Almost Sinatra-esque crooning…fine LP. |

The latest album I Love You It’s a Fever Dream by The Tallest Man On Earth could be my favourite new release this year…so far! Swedish singer Kristian Matsson has crafted wonderful heartfelt stories, now alone, at home, on a journey of self-discovery. |

Introducing Generation Angst by Paolo Morena. I’m always hesitant to promote albums by friends, or friend of a friends in this case, but Paolo’s new album is well worth a listen. Paolo is a multi-instrumentalist and his solo live performances showcase his skills and mastery with looping. Give it a try, and let me know what you think? |

The Manics returned to form with 8th album Send Away the Tigers, 10 years old today. Love Autumn song and Your Love Alone Is NotEnough. |
