Little Broken Hearts

Norah Jones

Russ Meyer has taken over from Danger Mouse and has masterfully brought the bacon home on Norah Jones’ latest record. On the twelve songs on they have created together on this record the singer’s voice is stronger than ever. An image from Meyer’s
Mudhoney graces the cover of the album and Jones has come up with her strongest record yet.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

Jack White starts his latest record in a rage with a direct punch to the gut with the song “Sixteen Saltines”. White’s first solo record often resembles bullets fired from a Blunderbuss. After loads of side projects and collaborations, here he finally is with his own solo offering of country, rock and blues. A well-rounded record with the odd ballad so you can catch your breath for a moment.

Bloom

Beach House

Bloom’ is Beach House’s fourth record. They have overcome all the early hype over time and especially through the records they have released since their Teen dream, a record whose success some thought would be too much for them to move on from. Songs like “Lazuli” prove that they are here to stay. A magical record that grabs you from the start. A record to let a little light into your life.

Boys & Girls

Alabama Shakes

Alabama Shakes have turned the American Rhythm & Blues scene on its head. The word is that the soul on display on the record really gains in strength in their live show and we’ll be able to see that for ourselves at the forthcoming Donostia Jazzaldia. A great record full to the brim of big riffs and arrangements. Brittany Howard’s voice grows in stature on the album and you’ll wash down songs like “I found you” with a straight shot of whiskey.

I Can’t Win

The Dealers

Gasteiz (Vitoria) band The Dealers conjure up the 60s with their new 7” single. Straight blues, rock and beat are on offer here. “I can’t win” and “Hypocondria” will get your feet moving. And you wanna see them live, because they grow up as a sonic ball.

Nuevo Catecismo Católico

Los años en Goo records

During the forgotten 90s a lot of really good things were going on in Basque music. A scene that today no longer exists came out of fanzines, independent record companies and concert halls. Nuevo Catecismo Catolico have just reissued their first two records together on this essential individual release. They laid down the foundations for Basque punk rock and through their music made people believe in Basque music and bands.
