• Susanne Sundfør: Music for People in Trouble review – smoky, orchestral adventures that derail brilliantly

  24-08-2017 23:15
  (Bella Union)‘I’m as lucky as the moon, on a starry night in June,” sings Sundfør on her album’s acoustic opener. It’s a misleadingly cutesy start. After 2015’s disco-infused prog record Ten Love Songs, the Norwegian songwriter and producer is having her Biophilia moment. Inspired by travels around varied political and social landscapes, from North Korea to the Amazon rainforest, there are trickling water sounds, wiry bleeps and animal peeps throughout.

• The War on Drugs: A Deeper Understanding review – the expansive sound of love and loneliness

  24-08-2017 22:45
  (Atlantic)The War on Drugs’ early albums felt like the result of a particularly daring, genre-smashing thought experiment: was it possible to blend big-sky Americana with the hypnotic thrum of motorik and psych rock?

Steven Wilson ponders his life as Britain’s least starry musical megastar“The most successful British musician most people have never heard of,” declare the posters for Steven Wilson’s new album.

  Their self-image may be cartoonishly macho, but there are sweet and supple melodies galore on this Mark Ronson-produced seventh albumQueens of the Stone Age’s new album opens with a spot of self-mythologising. “I was born in the desert, May 17, in 73,” croons Josh Homme on Feet Don’t Fail Me. “When the needle hit the groove, I commence to moving / I was chasing what’s calling me.” Since the departure of frequently nude bassist Nick Oliveri 13 years ago,

  O2 Academy Brixton, LondonBombastic, brutish riffs and snarling frontman Jonathan Davis combine to deliver authentic thrills of the skull-cracking kindWhile metal’s sludgy progenitors and thrash evolutionaries have latterly received overdue critical kudos, such respect has yet to be afforded to their moody, misunderstood late-90s descendent: nu-metal. The subgenre’s sins were manifold: a pervading lyrical self-pity, a wilful misunderstanding of rap as little more than crotch-grabbing
