Noel Gallagher & The High Flying Birds - Who Built The Moon
The Gallagher brothers so-called war has been a PR triumph which will surely see Liam's solo success matched by big brother, whose Holy Mountain has been dividing opinion like no other 2017 single. The album is produced by David Holmes who certainly makes it difficult to ignore the songs and Paul Weller and Johnny Marr pop up for guest appearances.

Bjork - Utopia
After the emotional upheaval of Vulnicura, Bjork embarks on a more joyous exploration of the many kinds of love in the company of her recent collaborator Arca, and her ongoing interest in the environment and technology. The upbeat pop songs are counterpointed – as you might expect – by more challenging avant-garde pieces.
Björk - Blissing Me
Bdy_Prts - Fly Invisible Hero
Bdy_Prts have been busy winning hearts and minds with their catchy art pop, New Order referencing video and packing popping candy with the first batch of this their very promising debut album.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings – Soul of a Woman
Exactly a year after the sad passing of Sharon Jones last November aged 60, the American funk and soul revivalist group, who have appeared in several films and also collaborated on Amy Winehouse’s 2006 album Back In Black, release a retrospective LP, again on the Daptones label. Top quality stuff, with Sharon’s powerful voice, and superb funk and brass section. It could be 1969 all over again, and Sharon is much missed.
