The legends known as the Dirty Three are back in magnificent fashion, having broken their 12-year silence with a soul-stirring wallop on ‘Love Changes Everything’.

Don’t worry, despite the album title, they haven’t given in to the cash lure of Lloyd-Webber musicals, instead they’ve returned to do what they do best - world-swelling opuses composed of arresting, exploratory, heart-seeking, and weighty instrumentals that feel like mountains being wrenched up from the ground until they soar over you, piercing the sky.

Also out this week: 

Fraulein's delightful brand of idiocentric rock pinballs about despatching subtle earworms deep into nodding noggins, Aaron Frazer elevates his sea breeze soul with highly affecting splashes of gospel, psychedelia, & disco, our Ferg finds "Keaton Henson’s instinct for creating gut-punching, lyrical noises borders on superhuman", and British Stereo Collective follow up 'Mystery Fields' with a superb array of bleeped up and blooped out imaginings of otherworldly themes from dreamt TV shows.

Fancy some more? How about the gorgeous psych landscapes of Causa Sui? or Lone Bison's electronic magic? You can also score Bob Stanley's latest compilation of formative synth wonder, a Cranes boxset spanning '89-'97, a sonic interpretation of 'This Is Memorial Device', some early Neil Young, extra Johnny Cash for your dollar, and a triple dose of Sade!
