#6 The Lemonheads – Car Button Cloth (Deluxe Expanded ‘Clothbound’ Edition)
‘Car Button Cloth’ is an extraordinary affair of musical and emotional extremes that switches into perky jangle-pop for fleeting moments and contains the ultimate self-deprecating classic, ‘The Outdoor Type’. This special 2xLP edition includes the original record alongside a whole extra LP of rarities and unreleased cuts.
★★★★ MOJO
#10 The Dream Syndicate – Medicine Show: I Know What You Like
#13 V/A – Sandworms – The Songs of Howe Gelb and Giant Sand
Delving into the Great American Songbook of Howe Gelb, Sandworms is a new collection that rephrases and rephases the legacy of Giant Sand across generations. This release offers bold reinterpretations from Water From Your Eyes, Deradoorian, Jesca Hoop & John Parish, Lily Konigsberg, Holiday Ghosts, Ella Raphael, Monde UFO, The Golden Dregs, and Gently Tender.
#22 Television Personalities – Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out: Radio Sessions 1980-1993
This collection brings together classic radio sessions from the masters of DIY post-punk and indie pop. Featuring two 80s BBC sessions that aired on John Peel and Andy Kershaw and a super rare 1992 WMBR set. It features covers of Buzzcocks, The Raincoats and Daniel Johnston with previously unreleased songs and a bonus WFMU 1993 session.
