Keeping you up to date with the week's hottest releases!
Artist: Childish Gambino
Album: Bando Stone & the New World
Label: RCA Records
Genres: Alternative R&B, pop, hip hop
Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, is a polymath. He created and starred in Atlanta, one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows in history. He was a member of the beloved American sitcom, Community. He is an accomplished comedian. And all the while he has been dropping huge hits. Now, to say goodbye to his musical persona, he has given us the soundtrack to his own film and it is as varied and wide-ranging as his career.
Artist: SOFT PLAY
Album: Heavy Jelly
Label: BMG
Genres: Punk rock, alternative metal, hardcore punk
Formally called Slaves, Heavy Jelly is the first of two British albums on the bill this week. In a world where music sometimes lacks a bit of grit, this corrosive album comes as a refreshing change.
Artist: Los Campesinos!
Album: All Hell
Label: Independent
Genres: Twee pop, indie rock, indie pop, noise pop, emo
Don’t let the name confuse you – these “peasants” are from Cardiff! All Hell is a friendly, indie-rock record with excellent vocal performances and immaculate production. It may be too clean for some people but is sure to be a winner with fans of the twee pop genre.
