Album of the Week – 10/10/25

This week sees new releases from the likes of The Besnard Lakes (The Besnard Lakes Are the Ghost Nation), Other Lives (Volume V) and Tanita Tikaram (Love Isn’t A Right). If you haven’t checked out Flock of Dimes (The Life You Save), you should give them a listen below.

Fans of Laura Veirs will be delighted to hear her Live In Angoulême (Laura Veirs And The Choir Who Couldn’t Say).

We’ve gone for something quite chilled out for our Album of the Week. The Antlers return with their 7th Album.

Album of the Week – The Antlers – Blight

The Antlers – the beloved band and recording project of Peter Silberman -release their eagerly awaited new album, Blight, arriving via Transgressive Records.

Blight asks many questions without offering easy answers. Over the course of nine new songs, The Antlers’ founder and primary songwriter Silberman reckons with our passively destructive tendencies – absent- minded pollution, unwitting wastefulness, and the inadvertent devastation of the natural world. But despite its heavy themes, Blight is far from a punishing listen. With its adventurous arrangements and persistent momentum, it plays more like an iridescent odyssey.
