Idlewild's self-titled 10th album begins in medias res, with Rod Jones' guitar crunching and wailing, the sound hanging in the air until vocalist Roddy Woomble catches hold of it with the first of Stay Out of Place's fizzing, inimitable hooks. Immediately, there is the sense of a band in motion, their storied past not an anchor but a spur. Idlewild's songs offer a string of compelling answers: "Everything adds up to the present moment, doesn't it?" Woomble asks.

Rocket have had a busy few years. The Los Angeles crew with friendships stretching back to their childhood formed in 2021, convening in an unmarked shed to put their debut EP to tape.

Nuées Ardentes, le nouvel album de Birds on a Wire attendu le 3 octobre 2025, explore avec délicatesse et intensité le thème de l’adolescence — ses élans, ses vertiges, sa mélancolie et ses fulgurances. Porté par la voix magnétique de Rosemary Standley et le violoncelle vibrant de Dom La Nena, ce répertoire singulier tisse des liens entre les époques et les styles : des chansons de Bronski Beat, The Cure et The Doors dialoguent avec un air de Stefano Landi, une chanson de Barbara et des chants traditionnels anglais. La Maîtrise de Radio France, dirigée par Sofi Jeannin, apporte une lumière chorale à cet ensemble profondément émouvant. Avec Nuées Ardentes, Birds on a Wire signe un disque à la fois intime et incandescent.

When dodie was just about done writing her remarkable sophomore album, Not For Lack Of Trying, she still found herself searching for answers. She’d spent the last three years turning inwards to pen what would become the “sibling’” to her acclaimed 2021 debut Build A Problem (which landed at #3 on the UK official album chart), packaging her reflections on everything from falling in love and breaking up to comparison culture and struggles with depression. But she couldn’t quite find the thread that tied all of these intimate portraits of her life together; that was until she finally landed on a title that gave her the clarity she was seeking. “Not For Lack Of Trying is so simple, so sad and it really painted this picture of all these songs, of me trying to figure it out,” she explains.

Along with The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Clapton, Led Zeppelin and pretty much every rock & blues recording artist, Kara Grainger, the Australian, Nashville-based songwriter/ace guitarist was deeply influenced by the wealth of amazing music that flowed out of Memphis, Tennessee in the 1960's and 70's.

Zaho de Sagazan and the fifty musicians of the Orchestre National de Lyon have joined forces to create a unique masterpiece, La symphonie des éclairs (Orchestral Odyssey). A symphonic album in four movements and sixteen songs, opening the door to a whole new horizon. A haunting voice that shifts from cries to whispers, a transcendent score, an unprecedented whirlwind of emotions… From the intimate to the grandiose, such is the promise of the journey.

A star is born with Cherry Valley, country ingénue Carter Faith's much-anticipated debut album, even if the picture is still not completely in focus. She's a little bit Tammy and a little bit Lana (Del Rey, that is), and beaming with so much promise. The 25-year-old North Carolina native's voice is full of contradictions. She's able to bellow while staying as crystal clear as a stream, yet can also sound soft and pillowy—with a hint of hard-edged mountain twang. Written with the wonderful Ashley Monroe, the title track plays out as a neo-noir epic: melodramatic, soap operatic, heavy with fever-pitch strings, and featuring Faith unleashing a long, high note like she's summoning a storm. "Sex, Drugs, & Country Music" flirts like Nancy Sinatra and delivers laugh-out-loud shocks as Faith sings about discovering Adderall in a bathroom stall, shamelessly wanting to get high, and her holy trinity: "Little green, satin sheets and Waylon/ Heals the soul of a heart that's breakin'."

Groove of ESSR III marks the next chapter in highlighting the musical heritage trapped behind the Iron Curtain during the Soviet occupation. The tracklist spans recordings from 1971–1983 by Estonian artists, most of whom were born under a foreign regime after the war. Nevertheless, they had relatives in the West and antennas tuned in to Finnish radio signals. In a closed up world, they had the courage to explore the groove without borders. Many performers and songwriters became the most sought-after artists throughout all of Soviet Russia, not because they blindly followed the communist party"s canon.

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the legendary voices of The Sixteen providing the soundtrack to it.
