<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/adrianne-lenker-abysskiss">Adrianne Lenker - abysskiss </a>

An achingly beautiful record from <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/big-thief">Big Thief</a> vocalist, Adrianne Lenker. This is the Minnesota-born musician as she is, with very little else. Her voice is centre stage, which flickers, dancing and diving over the songs like an autumn sun on a frost-bitten morning. Lenker's ability to let you inside, to do away with the barrier between artist and listener is more striking than ever before. The gentle flutters whisper in your ear like secrets shared between you and her. The intimacy is so that every pick, every chord change carries with it an unmilled ripple and a chirp.

Recorded with Luke Temple of Here We Go Magic, the 10 songs were written in snatched moments on the relentless Big Thief tour. Lenker sounds raw, her lyrics organic. They escape her lungs with little scrutiny but plenty of emotion.

The album is understated and unassuming. It could have been discovered in a dusty cabin, penned by a long-lost folk-hero from the 60s. Adrianne serenades us with her songbook of gently reflective golden lullabies wistfully. It's delicate, enchanting and irresistible. A gorgeous and affecting listen especially if you have a tendency for likes of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/jessica-pratt">Jessica Pratt</a>, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/kath-bloom">Kath Bloom</a>, and <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/joan-baez">Joan Baez</a>.

<a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/us/music/shame-all-the-hits">Shame - All the Hits</a>

Shame are without doubt the sound of 2018 and their debut Songs of Praise the most loved album at Rough Trade Shops. Luckily for us and you they went into the studio in between playing 150+ gigs and recorded four cover versions. The cover of Feliz Navidad - a traditional Spanish song is pure Radio One - upbeat, fun and an amazing Vocoder lead vocal whilst Where's Bill Grundy Now adds bounce and pop to a legendary DIY classic. The Covers of Love Me Tender and Big Rock Candy Mountain strip things back to show the more delicate and tender side of Shame, which is often seen. This EP is an absolute treat! Also available on CD with purchase of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/songs-of-praise">Songs of Praise</a>

<a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/us/music/songs-of-praise">Shame - Songs of Praise</a>

Soaring, crashing guitars, heavy heavy monster drums pounding and circling, spirals of sound lifting into the stratosphere with the call and response of many voices travelling from an ominous rumble to a scream let loose. These boys are alchemists and they’ve turned the quicksilver live show fraught with emotion and passion into audio gold for their debut. Now available on Opaque Beige Vinyl with Bonus All The Hits covers CD.

It’s rare that a band’s first full-length debut album sounds as confident and self-assured as Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s Hope Downs. The Melbourne quintet released ten songs of urgent and passionate guitar pop that elicit warm memories of bands past, from the Go-Betweens’ jangle to the charmingly lo-fi trappings of New Zealand’s Flying Nun label. Their Live @ KEXP session was recorded post-debut-release in Spring 2018 at The KEXP Seattle radio station. The band performed 3-tracks from their debut album and a choice cut from their 2nd EP, French Press to make up the 4 songs on their live session EP. Limited to 700 Copies.

Knoxville, Tennessee-bred Yves Tumor's latest release Safe in the Hands of Love is dissonant, sultry and everything in between.

Rolling, layered beats shuffle and dance around, stop, start and sway around you with mischievous intent to your ears. Golden honey-toned violins tie the breakbeat-ridden rhythms in knots and flirt with the vocals. Then the songs fold in on themselves and float sideways to a dreamworld of sweet, sweet noise. Pop, but not as you’ve ever known it.

The work of Yves Tumor moves from sultry ambient to future soul, psychedelic pop, and everything in between. His critically acclaimed long-player from 2016, “Serpent Music,” announced his commitment to eclecticism and cemented his position as a major force in contemporary experimental and electronic circles. Now signed to Warp he returns this year with 'Safe In The Hands Of Love'.
