Album of the Week – 19/07/24

We’ll start with a new album from Childish Gambino (Bando Stone & The New World). There’s a suitably cinematic video below for a ‘movie’. He says it’s his last album under this moniker but I’m not entirely convinced we’ve seen the last of the childish one! He could turn up again like a bad penny. There are also new albums from Glass Animals (I Love You So F***ing Much), something shouty from Soft Play (Heavy Jelly) and even BIZHIKI (Unbound).

The winner of our top prize this week is Los Campesinos! All Hell is their 7th album. Were you listening to their first album back in 2008? If so, you should love this one. Enjoy it below!

Album of the Week – Los Campesinos! – All Hell

All Hell is an album on…

drinking for fun and drinking for misery // adult acne // adult friendship // football // death and dying // love and sex // late-stage capitalism // Orpheus // day dreaming // night terrors // the heart as an organ and as a burden // suburban boredom // Tears of the Kingdom // the punks on the playlist // increments of time // climate apocalypse //
the moon the moon the moon ///
