Robert Davidson hails the art of growing old disgracefully as exemplified on the second and (so far) final Grinderman album

In Boy On Fire, Mark Mordue’s biography of Nick Cave that chronicles the artist as a young man, we find an adolescent whose musical world orbits the 1970s British glam rock scene of T-Rex, Roxy Music, and in particular, David Bowie. Obsessed with his British hero’s stylistic verve, Cave even cuts his moppy hair into a spikey mullet in order to see Ziggy Stardust when he looks in the mirror.

The haircut was just the start. Much of Cave’s career would go on to mirror Bowie’s. A young adulthood complicated by addiction, a self-imposed exile to the edgelands of cold-war Berlin, and…

In this month’s antidote to the algorithm Mat Colegate rips it to shreds with the ‘orrible racket that emerged in the early-80s, from S.P.K to Ramleh, Whitehouse and 23 Skidoo (pictured)

When Throbbing Gristle’s mission was first terminated in 1981, their influence on the UK underground scene was already hard to overstate. Inspired by T.G.’s confrontational D.I.Y. ethos and their fascination with esoteric subject matter, as well as their use of electronic instruments and non-musical elements, a whole bunch of artists – most of whom were too young to share T.G.’s background in the late 60s and early 70s radical art scene, and who thus rejected some of their more hippy-ish ideals – had started their own projects, encompassing musical acts…

Hiraeth

Largely improvised to tape in the small Polish village of Sokołowsko, the duo’s second album feels exploratory and experimental in the truest sense, finds Jakub Knera

Hiraeth by Sofie Birch & Antonina Nowacka

The collaboration between Sofie Birch and Antonina Nowacka began through the Unsound Festival in 2021 when they first met during the Morning Glory concert series at the Kraków Synagogue at noon. This initial encounter quickly blossomed into the creation of Languoria, an album recorded in Copenhagen and released the following year. In 2024, the duo journeyed to Sokołowsko, a small town in Lower Silesia known for its unique microclimate and historic sanatorium founded in the 19th century. There, Birch and Nowacka deliberately disconnected from modern…

Body Lapse will be released in September

Rian Treanor is releasing a collaborative album with Glasgow-born, Stockholm-based artist Cara Tolmie.

Set for release on Planet Mu, the nine-track album’s roots lie in a specially commissioned, joint live performance that they did for Glasgow’s Counterflows festival in 2023. It saw vocalist and performance artist Tolmie combine her vocal technique of Internal Singing — described in a press release as “an intimate practice using breath, movement and touch that explores the subtle binds between voice and body in an unsettling, engrossing sonic space – with Treanor’s own rhythmically complex work.

A series of improvisational performances by the pair followed, which were built on amid recording sessions in Stockholm and Rotherham in 2024. Body Lapse marks…

Powell is releasing a new album.

Marking his first proper full-length release on his own Diagonal label, the 21-track We Do Recover is said to be influenced by experiences of grief and addiction, according to a press release, with the suicide of one of his life-long friends in 2024 heavily altering both the artist’s life and music. The new record was pieced together from hours of music recorded between 2018 and 2025.

In a statement, Powell said: “After my friend’s death I felt I went into a tailspin, but really, I was already in one. I found myself unable to handle anything – my way of coping was always to run away…

Blood Orange, the moniker of Dev Hynes, has a new album on the way.

Marking Hynes’ first full-length record under the alias in six years, the album is said to have been created amid his journey through grief. It’s also about his experiences of growing up in Essex, “and the way music has inspired, healed, and interwoven itself through Hynes’ life”, a press release said.

The record features guest contributions from Lorde, Caroline Polachek, Tirzah, The Durtti Column, Mustafa, Daniel Ceasar, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates and authour Zadie Smith, among others.

You can listen to two songs from the album – ‘Mind Loaded’ (with Caroline Polachek, Lorde and Mustafa) and ‘Somewhere In…

Olof Dreijer, formerly known as one-half of The Knife, is releasing a new record, Iris, through Dekmantel.

Comprised of two brand new productions by the Swedish producer, as well as remixes of the tracks by Príncipe affiliate Nídia and TraTraTrax co-founder Verraco, it marks Dreijer’s second record for Dekmantel, after last year’s Brujas EP with Diva Cruz.

The new record is said to draw on Dreijer’s high school phase as a breakdancer with lead track ‘Iris’ taking in the kind of colourful synth stabs that have lit up recent records for labels such as Hessle Audio and AD 93.

David Byrne has shared a new song, titled ‘She Explains Things To Me’.

Partially inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s book Men Explain Things To Me, the song finds Byrne reflecting on the ways that men dismiss women’s ideas and points of view. It’s the second cut to be shared from Byrne’s forthcoming album, Who Is The Sky?, after ‘Everybody Laughs’.

Speaking further about the new song, Byrne said: “Many times I have marveled at how a friend (usually a female friend) seems to clock what is going on in a film between characters way before I do. Sometimes I understand poetry, but sometimes I need help. Though inspired by the Solnit…
