After the summer break, we return this September with a very special number that has the English Wolf Alice On its cover. And yes, the distribution of the exemplary of the magazine is already underway.
If we compare the fourth album cover of Wolf Alice, “The Clearing” (RCA/SONY, 25), with the previous three we will see a band that has gained a lot in confidence and is not afraid of being more ambitious. While Ellie Rowsell takes the focus halfway between a rock star and a pop diva, Wolf Alice They are not afraid to recognize that they are ambitious and that their passage to a multinational, after three albums with Dirty Hit, is not a coincidence, but a declaration of intentions about their desire to eat the world.
The first time we talk to Parcels We interrupted the noise of the outside world in the form of garbage truck. The second was recorded with a game of lights and shadows in his apartment in Berlin and the metaphors about his career emerged spontaneously. Now it is the turn of “Loved” (Virgin/Universal, 25), the third album of the Australians and we already make spoiler: it sounds more parcels than ever.
The Hives forever. With their new album, the Swedes go for all and, dressed in crowns and large layers, take their role as royalty of punk. “The Hives Forever Forever The Hives” (Pias, 25) is grandiloquent, exaggerated and more The Hives than ever, with songs that, as they describe themselves, sound like classics even if they are fresh out of the oven. We talked to his vocalist Pelle Almqvist.
Suede They return with “Antidepressants” (BMG, 25), an imposing album in which the essence of the group turns towards a darkening post-Punk vein, in which it is already their fifth album since they returned to life to star in a solid resurrection.
Almost twenty years have passed since five artists join and have a reason for a reason for fun, rumba, flamenco and even rock. Now the G-5 Go back with “Whoever wants to sleep that you buy a mat” (The music volcano, 25), an album that recovers its deep spirit and plants it at the present time.
The French Jehnny Beth attack again with “Youartbreaker you” (Fiction/Virgin, 25), its most raw and primary album. He has elaborated it again in close collaboration with his artistic accomplice Johnny Hostile.
Before the insatiable voracity of capitalism and the rise of neo -fascism, Medal They propose a sharp heavy metal album bathed in combative satanism. It is titled “Music Machine” (Building study, 25) and breaks with the past say indie rock of the quartet. We talk about all this with Eric Sueiro and Josep Peris, singer-guitar and bassist of the band respectively.
SUPERCHUNK They recover vigor and inspiration with “Songs in the Key of Yikes” (Merge/Popstock!, 25), perhaps their best work since they returned to the forefront three years ago with “Majesty Shredding” (Merge, 10).
“For now forever” (Sony, 25) is the breath of fresh air that Joseluis It brings us in a world in constant repetition and in which it demonstrates to be up to the contemporary referents of the national folk, despite its “fear of a country.”
So far what concerns the most extensive interviews, although you can also find articles dedicated to pulp, damn neighborhood, << rinôçérôse >> or the filmmaker Carla Simón on the occasion of the premiere of her new film entitled “Pilgrimage”. And we do not forget our usual sections dedicated to the reviews of discs, comics, books, movies, series, podcasts and the playlist with all the contents of the month to put sound bands to your reading.
