For Mandy, Indiana, the truth is the only way through. On their Sacred Bones debut URGH, the four-piece - vocalist Valentine Caulfield, guitarist and producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling, and drummer Alex Macdougall - are a force of uncanny nature, grafting together a record that is as much a call to action as a parlay into oblivion and transcendence. Across the ten tracks, the band interpolate their own unconventional language into a mantra for self-determination and resilience, forging a template for a brighter future before it fades to black.Much of the album was written during a residency at an eerie studio house in the outskirts of Leeds, then recorded across Berlin and Greater Manchester. It was an intense environment partially due to the health issues faced by Caulfield and Macdougall during the writing and recording process.Yet Mandy, Indiana remain uncompromising. Caulfield uses her voice as a distorted instrument and a weapon, oscillating between playful and eviscerating. The throbbing siren-sound of "Magazine" stands alongside the cut-up vocal fry of "try saying" and the shapeshifting ferocity of "ist halt so," which channels the urgency of protest movements, referencing resistance to the genocide in Gaza while speaking to struggles more broadly, while final track "I'll Ask Her" is a deliberate directness calling out toxic boy's club culture and a tenacious reckoning that hangs over the album at large.Although there are still undeniable "bangers" (like the frazzled rap of "Sicko!" featuring billy woods), URGH often feels hewn with precise cinema. From the bristling techno of "Cursive" to the deconstructed feedback loops of "Life Hex," the album moves between industrial catharsis and cinematic unease, threading a tension that Fair describes as "a remix of itself." This contrasting palette is both a necessary aspect of the record as well as the underlying connective tissue.Though deeply personal, URGH reflects the violent, fractured state of the wider world. Caulfield's lyrics grapple with assault, systemic indifference, and the omnipresence of pain, while also insisting on moments of beauty and solidarity. URGH belongs in the physical world, and the artwork by Carnovsky, featuring an anatomical illustration of Andreas Vesalius, underscores the record's visceral confrontation with the body and it's limits.URGH is both otherworldly, and physical and cathartic, both a first step toward healing and a refusal to let the conversation die.

2026 release. 16 years after the last Manual full-length, Jonas Munk finally returns with a new album! Jonas Munk released his Manual debut 25 years ago on influential Berlin label Morr Music. Back in the early noughties Munk was a teenager obsessed with the Warp Records catalog, and artists such as Tortoise, Brian Eno and Seefeel. He produced music in his basement studio that was equipped with a few analog synths, some guitar pedals, a sampler and an 8-track Fostex recorder. Early albums Until Tomorrow and Ascend became highly regarded representatives of the European electronica sound at the time - a scene also defined by the likes of ISAN, Múm, Ulrich Schnauss and Four Tet. From the start the Manual sound was characterized by blending glitchy electronics, analog synths and hand-played instruments, such as guitar and piano. Compared to his peers, Munk's productions were always more rooted in the song structures of rock music, rather than branching out of repetitive techno music.

Two CD set. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. 20th anniversary reissue of Mezzanine featuring the original album plus an album of previously unreleased dub remixes by the Mad Professor. Widely hailed as their masterpiece, and voted #15 in Q Magazine's 100 Greatest British Albums Ever (2000), Mezzanine saw the band move away from the 'trip-hop' sound they had helped define to embrace rock and electronica. Mezzanine was remastered by Tim Young at Metropolis who has worked with the band for over twenty years.

This is the age of post-factual lies, which is reflected in Mesh's album title "The Truth Doesn't Matter" and a dark undertone that occasionally seeps into their new songs. What remains entirely true is the fact that the UK duo has a nearly uncanny knack for writing electronic hits that are as elegant as they are captivating. "The Truth Doesn't Matter" bursts out like a sparkling firework while subtly referencing three decades of electronic music spanning from GIORGIO MORODER, YAZOO, and DEPECHE MODE via GARBAGE and MASSIVE ATTACK to more contemporary artists. At the same time, Mesh always maintain their easily recognisable and unique musical identity as well as the trademark sounds that they have cultivated since their beginnings in the early nineties. With "The Truth Doesn't Matter", Mesh climb yet another rung on the ladder leading to electronic music heaven. Each song wriggles it's way happily into the brain and sticks around leading to spontaneous whistling of melodies and the public singing of extremely catchy chorus lines. You have been warned: "The Truth Doesn't Matter" is highly infectious and leads to a happier life!

If you purchased a snake plant, asparagus fern, peace lily, or what have you from Mother Earth on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles (or bought a Simmons mattress from Sears) in 1976, you also took home Plantasia, an album recorded especially for plants. Subtitled "warm earth music for plants... and the people that love them," it was full of bucolic, charming, stoner-friendly, decidedly unscientific tunes enacted on the new-fangled device called the Moog. Before Brian Eno did it, Mort Garson was making discreet music. Julliard-educated and active as a session player in the post-war era, Garson wrote lounge hits, scored the 1969 moon-landing and plush arrangements for Doris Day, and garlanded weeping countrypolitan strings around Glen Campbell's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." But as his daughter Day Darmet recalls: "When my dad found the synthesizer, he realized he didn't want to do pop music anymore." Garson encountered Robert Moog and his new device at the Audio Engineering Society's West Coast convention in 1967 and immediately began tinkering with the device. "My mom had a lot of plants," Darmet says. "She didn't believe in organized religion, she believed the earth was the best thing in the whole world. Whatever created us was incredible." And she also knew when her husband had a good song. Novel as it might seem, Plantasia is simply full of good tunes. This release marks the first official re-issue of the long sought-a er cult classic. Hearing Plantasia in the 21st century, it seems less an ode to our photosynthesizing friends by Garson and more an homage to his wife, the one with the green thumb that made everything flower around him."My dad would be totally pleased to know that people are really interested in this music that had no popularity at the time," Darmet says of Plantasia's new renaissance. "He would be fascinated by the fact that people are finally understanding and appreciating this part of his musical career that he got no admiration for back then." Garson seems to be everywhere again, even if he's not really noticed, just like a houseplant.

1/2 of seminal electronic act The Knife, Olof Dreijer will be releasing his debut album 'Loud Bloom' via dh2
In a burst of colour and rhythm that cuts a distinctive path through modern club music, Olof Dreijer crystallises his solo work around a gleaming debut solo album, Loud Bloom, out 8 May via dh2.
Across the album, Dreijer toys with the tension between pure pleasure music and his tireless thirst for the new. You might hear the structure of a Chicago house beat or a classic drum machine hit, but at every turn these tropes are remoulded into dazzling new forms. Taking inspiration from Nigerian author Akwaeke Emezi and their ability to deliver bold, progressive themes and visionary sci-fi through the accessible lens of romantic fiction, Dreijer makes vividly unconventional dance music utterly instinctive and easy to love.

A brash, unapologetic blend of electronic, dance, punk, industrial, and pop music, No Lube So Rude exists at the intersection of the personal and the political, where the body serves not only as a sexual and spiritual vessel, but also as the front line in a battle for basic human rights. Peaches’ lyrics are bawdy and explicit here, laced with biting sarcasm and clever wordplay, but they’re also surprisingly vulnerable, offering up a candid look in the mirror from a post-menopausal queer icon reckoning with a society that’s come to expect silence, if not outright erasure. The result is a deliberately provocative exploration of identity, sexuality, and bodily autonomy from a trailblazer, a singular work of emotional and sonic alchemy that balances the poetic and the profane in equal measure as it transforms all the friction and frustration of modern life into joy and transcendence.

The Endless Dance is the first collaborative album from Northern Irish producer and composer Hannah Peel and Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. The record is grounded in the strength of ancient concepts but comes alive with the joy and freedom of play as together, Peel and Wang travel through the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar with a cornucopia of sound in tow - synths and prepared piano alongside traditional and unconventional percussion. The album is collaged together from recordings made over five days at legendary rural studio Real World, a setting which aligned with the duo's inspiration from the natural world creating a permanent record of their shared musical landscape, informed by the flora and fauna that emerge and retreat through the seasons. Both genre-defying, storied artists in their own right, Peel and Wang met while working on Manchester Collective's 2023 album NEON and The Endless Dance certainly represents a step-change from the duo's shared classical backgrounds - but their knowledge and training is also the foundation of it's freewheeling audacity, giving them the confidence to trust their instincts. The album is produced by Mike Lindsay [LUMP, Tunng, Guy Garvey, Jon Hopkins] who, with free rein, brings added energy and creativity to the album.

With Resonance, Acid Arab delivers an electronic project conceived as a true translation between cultures, eras, and musical currents. The group brings together Eastern elements and electronic textures, giving them equal importance. Far from any folklore, irony, or exoticism, they craft a musical landscape freed from geography: a dance space where the celebration of diverse cultures honors a profoundly humanistic unity. An Acid Arab track seeks neither to impose itself nor to prove anything. It opens up a space of fusion, of both bodies and minds.With this fourth album, the group reaffirms it's core principles: collaborations with artists from the Arab world, meticulous attention to sound and production, here enriched by the unique contribution of an external producer, who brings in new expertise to the table.Guests :- Yasmine Hamdan, a leading figure in contemporary Arabic music, originally from southern Lebanon. After two collaborations centered on remixes, this marks their first joint creation. - Ghita Lahmamassi, a multifaceted Moroccan artist: singer, model, actress, influencer, and pilot. She embodies boundless creative energy.- Sofiane Saidi, one of the most powerful voices to emerge from Algeria, a loyal collaborator of the group who previously appeared on *La Hafla* (2016) and *Leila* (2022).- Ghizlane Melih, who was a guest on the previous album with "Habaytak," continues her journey with her own project, the group Nashwa.- Cheba Ibtissem, an Algerian singer known for her performances on stage, on YouTube, and at weddings, alongside major figures in the local music scene.- Wael Alkak reunites with Acid Arab four years after Ya Mahla with a new anthem that is politically charged, percussive, and electrifying. Now based in Damascus once again, he continues his artistic journey in a profoundly renewed context.

In his 1611 elegy An Anatomy of the World, Elizabethan poet John Donne ponders the frailty of life. "How drie a Cinder this world is," he writes, illuminating how easily the flames of tragedy can consume us whole, change us irreversibly. Be it loss, internal revelation, or simply the passage of time, these moments of transformation visit us all. From this poem, comes the title of Beacon's fifth album. How drie a Cinder captures the Brooklyn duo of Jacob Gossett and Thomas Mullarney III at a high point of clarity and potency in their 15-year career, after emerging from their own transformations. "The majority of the album was written in the wake of my long-term partnership ending," Thomas explains, "which forced not just change but metamorphosis-living as the same person was simply no longer possible." Beacon explores personal evolution in ways ranging from delicate and introspective to physical and dramatic. Lead single "Cinder" sets the tone early: On top of high-energy dancefloor shuffle and swelling synth chords, Thomas evokes the visceral nature of life-altering decisions. "Like the warrior," he sings almost in a whisper, "A knife behind my back. There's something I could change." The music crescendos into a flood of neon and halogen before it's seamless transition into the otherworldly 2-Step of "Giving You Up." Here, distant vocal cries and hushed harmonies embellish the sparse instrumentation like lace, as Thomas wrestles with the intangibilities of destruction: "Light it all on fire. Ineffable, but I'll try." Alongside each varied thematic approach, the music of How Drie a Cinder feels like a transportive night out on the dancefloor. Tracks like the hard-hitting "See Your Face" and "Sun Dark, New Year" deliver Beacon's distinct take on big room techno, while "The Nightjar" explores dubby halftime rhythms and "Shore Leave" offers an intimate yet bubbly R&B comedown. The album's prominent driving force is somehow both disarmingly dynamic and remarkably cohesive, which is owed to the time and care that went into it's creation. "This record spans years and countless demos," Jacob explains. "But in the discovery phase, I tend to work as fast as possible. I think that level of spontaneity carried over, creating a record that really leans into it's kinetic impulse." Beacon's patient, open-ended creative process uncovered the juxtaposition of irresistible body music and soulful prose that is at the core of How drie a Cinder. "Making a Beacon record is a long and arduous process," Jacob says. "Ideas might start independently, but it's in the studio where we fully develop the tracks that make the record." Resampling and shapeshifting Thomas's graceful croon into layers of harmony; harnessing the off-handed character of a practice performance for a track feature; frenetic drum patterns reworked into old demos-all elements crafted over years of experimentation, focus, rest, and transformation.
