Arlo Parks, Thundercat, David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo, Guns N' Roses singles and RSD News

The brilliant Arlo Parks is back with a new album this week.

Ambiguous Desire is her 3rd album via Transgressive Records.

'Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental, supplanting live band sessions for modular synths, ableton plugins and samplers that channel the frenetic, vibrant spaces she was immersed in, all while spotlighting the acclaimed poetry and lyricism she’s beloved for.'

Limited edition blue vinyl and CD formats available.

We are big fans of Thundercat at OTBT ever since we heard his track Dragonball Durag on the radio in lockdown.

‘Distracted’ is Thundercat’s fifth studio album, featuring contributions from an incredible
cast of friends including A$AP Rocky, WILLOW, Tame Impala, Lil Yachty, Channel
Tres, and a long awaited collaboration with the dearly departed Mac Miller. The record
was primarily created in close collaboration with a new creative partner – the
super-producer Greg Kurstin – plus Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats (Kenneth Blume) and
The Lemon Twigs. In the six years since his GRAMMY-winning album ‘It Is What It Is’,
Thundercat’s star has risen: playing stadiums worldwide with Red Hot Chilli Peppers
with Flea naming Thundercat “the best bass player on the planet”; performing live with A$AP Rocky, Steve Lacy, Tame Impala, Gorillaz, Silk Sonic, Erykah Badu, Spinal Tap,
Yo Gabba Gabba; collaborating with Haim, Smino, Kaytranada, Kamasi Washington
and Justice. He also branched out into acting with a role in Star Wars: The Book of
Boba Fett. His warm, playful presence is never too far away, and life’s all the more
enlivened by it.'

Various vinyl and CD formats available including smoke effect vinyl

We heard the sad news this week that The New Adelphi Club legend Paul ‘Jacko’ Jackson has died.

We have had so many great nights at the Adelphi over the years where so many fledging bands were celebrated and supported had the chance to play early on in their careers such as This Is The kit, Diane Cluck, Michael Chapman, Thurston Moore, Jeffrey Leiws and Bdrmm. Mark had the opportunity to play there with his past band Robots Found Errors supporting The Former Members in 2013.

RIP Paul

The shows will go on so do check out their forthcoming gigs and keep supporting this fantastic and vital independent venue https://www.theadelphi.com/
