Best of from indie-rock ‘supergroup’ Luna. Seventeen tracks spanning 1992-2004.

Third album from Manchester trio I am Kloot, with more than a passing echo to George Harrison’s elegant guitarwork.

Third solo album from sheffield’s Richard Hawley, one time guitarist with both the Longpigs and Pulp.

Iron and Wine’s Sam Beam brings sevent tunes to alt-americana group Calexico for collaboration. The results are stunning.

Mercury prize nominated album of duets, written by Isobell Campbell, one-time member of Belle and Sebastian, with Mark Lannegan.

Former MK Ultra frontman, and studio wizard John Vanderslice with his fourth solo album. Mixing lush sounds with songs about torture, drugs, and the family.

Art Disco Punk from Sao Paolo band whose name translated apparently means ‘tired of being sexy’. Indeed.

Bloc Party’s second album, veering close to being a concept album, but in this case, that’s not such a bad thing.
