Album of the Week – 27/09/24

This week sees the return of Alan Sparhawk of Low under the most difficult of circumstances. The new album ‘White Roses, My God’ is a change in direction, but will be of interest to his many fans.

There is also the return of Denmark’s finest Efterklang, with their new album Things We Have in Common. Other releases of interest include Hayden Thorpe (of Wild Beasts – Ness), Whitney Johnson (How) and William Basinski – September 23rd

For our album of the week, we went for the return of Gemma Hayes, with her first album in ten years. Where does the time go… you can hear it below.

Any music that is tickling your fancy this week, let us know in the comments section…

Album of the Week – Gemma Hayes – Blind Faith

“Probably one of Gemma Hayes’ quietest albums, it is something of a return to form. It’s as good a collection of songs as she’s released in quite a while, and there’s a general… warmth about the album.” – From our review by Killian Laher
