Also out this week:
Blaring out of the Belfast scene like a volcano's been lit beneath sleepy behinds, KNEECAP's turbo-charged hip-hop pyrotechnics sweep everyone along whilst sniffing out trouble with both nostrils. Nab tickets to their cinematic debut whilst you can! John Grant is in expansive, grandiose form with his synth-driven prog music for people with indie pop hearts, The Decemberists' epic return is a high point of stylistic flourishes, emotional reveals, and impressive experimentation, and the former cellist of Belle & Sebastian - Isobel Campbell - delivers a gorgeous set of ambient folk as only she can.
On top of all of that, The Boss' is celebrating 40 years of 'Dancing In The Dark', Sam Morton has paired her dulcet vocal chops with Richard Russell's beguiling sound palette, there's a suite of beautifully skewjawed pop vignettes from John Cale, Monaco sees New Order's Peter Hook shining solo, Walt Disco's second outing is a marvel of comprehensive dramatics, and you can find out precisely what made David Bowie such a 'Rock 'n' Roll Star'.
