The album by David Gilmour, 'Luck and Strange' was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer for the past thirty years. The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' 'Between Two Points', which sees Romany Gilmour, who performs backing vocals across the album, and can also be heard on harp.<br/><br/>Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards and the string and choral arrangements are by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a 'Barn Jam' at David's house. The album's cover image, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album's final song 'Scattered'.

Tjejdikter är ett unikt musikprojekt av författaren Sandra Beijer, där sju av Sveriges främsta kvinnliga indieartister ger röst åt nyskrivna texter. På debutalbumet medverkar Ji Nilsson, Nadja Evelina, Dolce, Jackie Mere, Hanna Mel, Victoria Nilas och Manon Lamartine, som tillsammans skapar en emotionellt laddad musikupplevelse.

Endast 500 exemplar släpps, vilket gör den till ett måste för samlare och musikälskare.

"I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it's had on me," Cave says. "It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It's a complicated record, but it's also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don't know, it seems we're happy." <br/>"Wild God...there's no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it." Nick Cave

MOGGS MOTEL - new band featuring UFO singer Phil Mogg.<br/><br/>UFO fans, watch out! Anyone who'd feared over the past two years that UFO frontman Phil Mogg, one of the most influential rock vocalists worldwide, would disappear completely from the scene after the demise of his band, in addition to his health problems, has now thankfully been proved wrong.<br/><br/>After a brief hiatus to catch his creative breath, the British musician with the distinctive voice is ready to present his latest band and release, 'Moggs Motel', which he composed together with Tony Newton (bass & keyboards) from the band Voodoo Six, who had been touring partners with UFO previously, and long-standing associate Neil Carter (guitar, keyboards, vocals). The album was recorded at Iron Maiden's Steve Harris's studio in Essex/UK. In the studio, the band was joined by Joe Lazarus (drums) and Tommy Gentry (guitar) to complete the line-up.<br/><br/>The album's twelve timeless songs show that Mogg has lost none of his artistic charisma, uniquely expressive voice and love of unbridled creativity.

Musiken flödar från Maja Francis! Vårens release av låten "Hello Cowboy" blev startskottet för hennes återresa till countryns hjärta och soundet från Nashville, staden där hon tidigare tillbringat mycket tid.

Deep Purple brukar räknas till den handfull band som format den tyngre rocken och som ständigt flyttat fram gränserna för genren. De frontas av den legendariske Ian Gillan, vars sång har definierat generationer, ackompanjerad av den mästerlige basisten Roger Glover, kraftfulle trummisen Ian Paice och maestro på klaviaturen Don Airey. Detta är bandets första album med den sensationelle gitarristen Simon McBride, som sömlöst kom in när den mångårige gitarristen Steve Morse lämnade på grund av personliga omständigheter. Sedan 2022 har McBride redan spelat för en Deep Purple-publik på totalt mer än en halv miljon människor.<br/> <br/>Deep Purple är dock mer än bara dess medlemmar och '=1' förkroppsligar essensen och attityden från deras 1970-talssound, kanske mer än något annat album på senare dagar. Med den legendariske Bob Ezrin tillbaka som producent, frammanar skivan bandets banbrytande klassiska sound, utan att förlita sig på nostalgi.<br/> <br/>Den gåtfulla titeln '=1' symboliserar idén att i en värld som blir alltmer komplex, är allt i slutändan en del av en enda, enhetlig essens. Allt är lika med en.
