This Week's Releases

New music from Calexico, Paul Mac, The Wombats and more

Calexico – Edge Of The Sun (Spunk)

The American indie-rock stalwarts landed our Album Of The Week this week, with a four-star effort according to reviewer Ross Clelland. "As ever Calexico have made another crafted album to add to their catalogue of quality," he observed. 

Paul Mac – Holiday From Me (Eleven)

The Australian electro-pop legend releases his first solo album in ten years, but "Alas, here, he's simply nostalgically unprogressive", according to The Music's Mac McNaughton.

The Wombats – Glitterbug (Warner)

The third studio album by English indie rock band, Glitterbug is full of charming crowd-pleasers. The Music's Emilie Taylor guarantees: "Falsetto vocals, indie licks and funky beats; they don’t disappoint". Read the band's track-by-track here!

Say Lou Lou – Lucid Dreaming (A Deux Records)

"The album slows down and loses momentum," said The Music's Rohan Clerke of Lucid Dreaming. The sister duo release their debut album with fleeting moments of shimmering synths and bouncing bass tomorrow.
