Rudderless Records Weekly Mailout #44

 

Our weekly look at this weeks new arrivals, re-stock, staff picks and a whole lot more...

Melvic Centre Melvic Centre This extremely limited pressing of just 100 vinyl records is the debut album from Will Mitchell's Melvic Centre. You may remember Will's previous band, Newcastle's Rort Menace. Recorded by Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) at The Pet Food Factory, Mitchell assumes the one man band roll playing every instrument on the recording, with Whalley and Jemima Parry-Ewing contributing backing vocals. The record is a collection of 10 original songs that any Bob Mould or Paul Westerberg fan will appreciate, with a sound that pays homage to a distinctly Australian melodic punk rock sound ala Blueline Medic, Bodyjar etc. Purchase Lee Morgan The Rumproller The Rumproller is an album by jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded mainly on April 21, 1965 and features performances by Morgan with Joe Henderson, Ronnie Mathews, Victor Sproles, and Billy Higgins. Purchase Tate McRae Think Later “THINK LATER” debuted #2 ARIA Album in late 2023 and follows on from Tate’s debut album hitting Top 10 on release in mid-2022. Lead single ‘greedy’ is ARIA Accredited Platinum and has been Tate’s most successful single to date (#2 ARIA single) with follow-up single ‘exes’ gaining momentum with radio nationally (#15 ARIA single). Huge headline tour for November 2024 almost all sold out, with first shows in Sydney and Melbourne selling out in less than 15 minutes. Purchase Laura Jane Grace Hole In My Head Rock icon Laura Jane Grace announces brand new album Hole In My Head, the Emmy-nominated artist, author, activist and musician’s first offering since 2021’s At War With The Silverfish. Recorded at Native Sound in St. Louis, MO with David Beeman and mixed by Matt Allison (The Lawrence Arms, Rise Against), Hole In My Head is a sonic curio cabinet containing multitudes — a showcase that features warm, ‘50s rock-influenced guitar riffs, saved-for-later lyrics, love letters to new surroundings, and thoughtful reflections on a punk life lived. Grace’s commanding vocals are backed predominately by her performances on guitar and drums, and bolstered by Drive-By Truckers bassist Matt Patton, whose presence rounds out a full-band sound on over half the album. Purchase Stevie Wonder The Songs In The Key Of Life 2LP + 7" Songs in the Key of Life is the eighteenth studio album by American singer, songwriter and musician Stevie Wonder. A double album, it was released on September 28, 1976, by Tamla Records, a division of Motown. Purchase Lee Scratch Perry King Perry King Perry is the final studio album by Jamaican reggae vocalist Lee "Scratch" Perry, released on 2 February 2024 through False Idols. The album was preceded by the single "100lbs of Summer" and explores various genres based around dub. Purchase
