New sounds: 28/10/24 (deluxe version)

Yeah, this is what happens when you're picking up after a couple of weeks - so many new tracks pile up and so little time to go into detail about them all.

Anna B Savage - Agnes
From third album You & i are Earth, out 24th January, a track featuring Irish folkie Anna Mieke on an album partially about Savage's move to Ireland and as spectral as ever even as the surroundings blossom outwards.



Beckon - Hands
Second single from next week's debut album Between The Bridge And Tree.



Bon Iver - THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS
The most early trad Bon Iver track from his new EP SABLE,



Clarissa Connelly - Give It Back
Already a new track after the underrated album from earlier this year World Of Work, unspooling art-folk delicacy.



Fightmilk - Yearning And Pining
Last single from No Souvenirs, out 15th November. Did we mention they're not only playing next March's Leicesterval but the Sunday for which tickets, unlike the Saturday/full weekend, are still available?



Heartworms - Warplane
Finally an album coming, Glutton For Punishment on 7th February.



Laurence-Anne - Melancolia
La Sécurité - Detour
Pulling double duty in signpost new singles, firstly a dreamy, lovelorn song in Spanish (!), then the post-B-52s/Le Tigre art-punk collective she belongs to are newly signed to Bella Union and heading to the sprung dancefloor.





lobby - folding out
Goat Girl's Lottie Pendlebury is half of a duo that initially locate themselves amid the popular slowcore lot but meander and develop, with we detect a little Delgados influence, through string motifs and another bloody saxophone into a slow burn crescendo that peaks somewhere near Sonic Youth.



Man Lee - Best One
Brooklyn-based duo present their awkward groove as collage, managing to work "transubstantiation" into the lyric.



Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory - Afterlife
Yeah, that's how she's presenting herself on the eponymous we-suppose-technically-debut album on February 7th.



Snazzback feat. Grove - Equinox
Our longtime favourite basement rabble-rouser collaborates with fellow Bristolian "new wave dancefloor instrumentalists", come out with a spiralling jazzy groove.



Swansea Sound - Toxic Energy
An imagined duet between Elon Musk and Terry Hall. "The strange noise at the end is a recording of a Tesla Cybertruck accelerating, losing control and exploding as it hits a wall." Hey, we're bringing them back to Leicester on 29th November!



The Tubs - Freak Mode
Dead Meat in its Sugar-if-formed-by-Richard-Thompson glory was one of our favourite British albums of last year; next year's Cotton Crown, out 7th March and reflecting on Owen Williams' reaction to the death of his folk singer and journalist mother Charlotte Greig, seems set to be much the same.
