Rudderless Records Weekly Mailout #59

 

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

The Stone Fox New Contender/Slave To The Rhythm 7" THE STONE FOX roams the coastal areas of Newcastle, NSW. These are his first releases on vinyl. In fact, these are his first finished tracks in any format. We loved his blaxploitation referencing and his love for uptempo b-boy funk that we knew had to get them out onto wax. An amazing debut that presses all the right buttons for us. Purchase Laughing Clowns Law Of Nature Ed Kuepper's post-Saints band who existed from 1979-84. Jazzy post-punk influenced by his love of everything from Archie Shepp to the Stooges to Tony Bennett, the Laughing Clowns were a unique and influential musical proposition, hailed by none other than Julian Cope as "one of the most important rock groups of the past 30 years". Purchase Ride  Interplay Shoegaze and indie rock fans rejoice! The new Ride album - their first for five years - is here, featuring 12 new songs in total, many of whch were with some of them being debuted on their recent tour. 'Peace Sign' triumphantly begins the album with the signature wall of sound that Ride is so well known for, while 'Last Frontier' seems to be a firm fan favourite already. Stunning , dynamic and beautifully crafted, the album comes on double colored vinyl complete with insert and MP3 download code and looks likely to be the best shoegaze album of 2024. Purchase Mahalia IRL Today, what does it mean to form relationships and love each other, IRL? That's exactly what British singer-songwriter Mahalia's latest album attempts to answer, having been inspired by a traumatic breakup and period in therapy. Broader in style than her earlier work, one might read cognitive dissonance, double-consciousness, or a post-breakup divided selfhood into this album; whether that's reflected in the tick-box conditionality of spectacular relationships on the track 'Terms And Conditions', or the inevitable consequences of this in the r&b-swangy 'Cheat' or the critical reconciliation of 'Hey Stranger'. Smooth but shaded throughout, this is the sound of Mahalia working through her demons and restructuring her idea of what real love is. Purchase Twenty One Pilots Clancy The seventh album from Columbus, Ohio duo Twenty One Pilots, who've been fusing hip-hop with rock and pop influences since their formation in 2009. As anyone who's following the singles preceding the album dropping will have realised, from the low key, intimate hip-hop affair 'Backslide' and the breakbeat-led 'Overcompensate' to the Supergrass-on-speed raucousness of 'Next Semester', it's their most diverse and accomplished as well as - we reckon - their most successful LP in a lengthy career. Purchase The Bottle Rockets The Brooklyn Side The Brooklyn Side is the second studio album by St. Louis, Missouri-based roots rock band the Bottle Rockets. It was originally released on East Side Digital in 1994, and was produced by Eric Ambel. Purchase
