Keeping you up to date with the week's hottest releases
Artist: Kasabian
Album: Happenings
Label: Sony Music
Genres: Indie rock, alternative rock, electronica
Kasabian have followed up last weekend’s surprise Glastonbury set with a dance-infused 8th studio album. With numerous sing-along hits, the band are setting themselves up for success but only time will tell if the people still want them.
Artist: Zach Bryan
Album: The Great American Bar Scene
Label: Warner
Genres: Alt-country, Americana, country rock
Today, country music is in a tricky spot. We live in a world where hateful, far-right garbage is the most profitable form of the genre, and those who reject this approach are often too stuck in their ways to make something innovative or worth listening to. As a result, there is a lack of substance across the board. Zach Bryan is seen by many as the genre’s saviour, producing deeply personal songs that appeal to critics and fans, young and old alike.
Artist: KOKOKO!
Album: BUTU
Label: Transgressive Records
Genres: Experimental music, electronic pop
KOKOKO! is not for the faint-hearted. Their abrasive and uncomfortable music combines the use of scrap objects with electronic loops to bring you into the chaotic world of Kinshasa, their home city, one of the most populous cities in the world.
