• Red Bull Culture Clash review – the most exciting music on the planet

  19-06-2016 14:07
  
  O2 Arena, London
  The world’s biggest musical battle saw DJs and MCs go several rounds of genre-bending sounds, but the dancehall label Mixpak proved to be master of the formWith their ubiquitous branding, Red Bull’s music events can feel less like a celebration of ineffable creativity and more like the end point of an experiential marketing flowchart. But Culture Clash – a taurine-jacked version of Jamaican soundclashes in which four teams of DJs and MCs battle each other &ndas

• Laura Marling review – breathy and sublime as she takes a tantric night off

  Royal Festival Hall, London
  Guy Garvey’s Meltdown festival sees the nu-folk siren with a newfound ease, her voice beautifully matured, growing in versatility and authority“Kundalini yoga is fucking trippy,” says Laura Marling, with a passion she usually reserves for intense critiques on love. “It’s yoga that will fuck you up.” This isn’t the kind of aside you expect from the earnest, inscrutable Marling. Finding fame at the tender age of 18 with her debu

• The Lumineers: 'You lose the art to a song when it gets chopped up and molested'

  After scoring an unexpected smash with Ho Hey, the pressure was on for the Denver folk-rockers’ second album. Singer Wesley Schultz explains how he avoided the sophomore slump
  When the Lumineers’ single Ho Hey was released in the summer of 2012, it topped the charts, became a cultural touchstone and jolted singer Wesley Schultz, drummer Jeremiah Fraites and cellist Neyla Pekarek to worldwide fame. “I remember going back home to Denver after coming off of our tour and the globe

• The Stone Roses review – a vast house party

  19-06-2016 09:59
  
  Etihad Stadium, Manchester
  They’re still riding their reunion wave on the strength of two new songs, but seeing the Roses live these days is more about the fans than the bandNinety percent of everything is awful, or uninteresting. Of course it is. How could you live in a world where everything is amazing? You’d never get anything done. In memory, nostalgia feeds from the remaining 10%, building an idealised history in our monkey brains. When the Stone Roses first emerged, pop no

• Zoe Rahman: Dreamland review – an exciting solo set, brilliantly performed

  19-06-2016 09:00
  
  (Manushi)For a pianist, there’s a world of difference between playing with the bass and drums support of a jazz trio and launching oneself into space unaccompanied. Zoe Rahman has often done it before live audiences, but this is her first recorded solo flight. Jazz is only one element in the music she creates, but there’s a sonorous depth in her playing that I always associate with Duke Ellington. In fact, there’s a gorgeous version here of his piece, A Single Petal of a Rose.

• Sarah Jarosz: Undercurrent review – classy modern Americana

  19-06-2016 09:00
  
  (Sugar Hill)Being a prodigy means growing up in public, and over three previous albums this young Texan’s songs have sometimes been outshone by her multi-instrumental skills. Graduated from the New England Conservatory and relocated to New York, the 25-year-old brings a touch of maturity to Undercurrent, helped by an impeccable backing crew and co-writes with the likes of Aoife O’Donovan and the Milk Carton Kids’ Joey Ryan. The opener, Early Morning Light, is all her own, howev

• M Craft: Blood Moon review – ghostly and perfectly judged

  19-06-2016 09:00
  
  (Heavenly)Like Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago, singer-songwriter M Craft’s third album was made in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. It’s this, perhaps, that gives the songs their ghostly quality, whether it’s the hushed, cosmic folk of Afterglow or the twinkling opener, New Horizons, on which all the instruments slowly come to life. Throughout, the Australian is a calming presence, contemplating love while staring at the stars, his voice evoking Sufjan Stevens circa Se

• Kutiman: 6am review – a scuzzy desert epic

  19-06-2016 09:00
  
  (Siyal)Ophir Kutiel is an Israeli multi-instrumentalist who has spent chunks of the past decade digging around on YouTube for amateur recordings and splicing them into audio-visual harmony for a series called ThruYou. Before the first instalment, which went viral in 2009, he released an accomplished debut album, heavy on funk, psych-rock and Afrobeat, with dashes of reggae and jazz. Roughly the same ingredients go into his long-awaited follow-up, but 6am feels better integrated and grander in sc

• Handel: Coronation Anthems CD review – vitality and expressiveness

  NDR Choir, Göttingen Festival Orchestra/Cummings (Accent)
  You might not think to turn to a German recording of Handel’s quintessentially English Coronation Anthems, which learned so much from the example of Purcell, but this has a splendid combination of vitality and expressiveness. The choir of North German Radio has excellent English, the Göttingen Festival Orchestra is bursting with energy and Laurence Cummings is never too insistent but shapes the music with real warmth.

• Case/lang/veirs: Case/lang/veirs review – a record of depth and scope

  19-06-2016 09:00
  
  (Anti)Crosby, Stills & Nash notwithstanding, there is something arid in naming a band after a trio of surnames. It is as though the talents contained within were merely actuarial rather than musical, the stuff of respectability rather than transcendence. As a consequence, this matter of factly named album, the debut by a supergroup of Americana artists, under-promises, giving little hint of the yearning, devastation or natural phenomena swirling within. Here are supermoons and existential ro

  (Warner Bros)Eleven albums in, and LA’s grizzled funk-rock reprobates are tinkering with the formula. The Getaway is the Chili Peppers’ second album with newish guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and their first since 1989 without producer Rick Rubin: Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton is behind the faders, introducing Beatley nuances on Feasting on the Flowers and a little unexpected disco sparkle on Go Robot; Nigel Godrich mixes – a hook-up born of bassist Flea’s sojourn i

  Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra/Vasily Petrenko
  (Onyx)With another symphonic series currently under way – devoted to Vaughan Williams, conducted by Andrew Manze and enthusiastically received – the RLPO has now launched a new one, also bursting with promise: Tchaikovsky, with chief conductor Vasily Petrenko. Two good spot tests of the early symphonies is how an orchestra plays the lyrical Adagio cantabile of No 1 Winter Dreams, or the delicious, jaunty folk melody in the finale of No
