(Above: The Blind Shake)
The Blind Shake’s new album, Celebrate Your Worth, is a real cave stomper, a lot of fun and irresistibly catchy. It leads this week’s five recommended albums to grab now.
Australia’s Chook Race makes great upbeat pop music that reminds me of the best indie bands from the 1980s.
Purling Hiss draws from classic rock and gritty garage influences (watch the epic Everybody in the USA below). Ultimate Painting draws from a range of sources, from folk to psych to the Velvet Underground.
Luke Roberts is seriously earnest country and sullen folk.
Here are your five albums to grab now.
The Blind Shake – Celebrate Your Worth
Chook Race – Around the House
Purling Hiss – High Bias
Ultimate Painting – Dusk
Luke Roberts – Sunlit Cross
