New In Store This Week

Singer songwriter Steve Lacy 'returns with OH YEAH? (August 7, RCA Records) — the self-produced follow-up to his Grammy winning Gemini Rights, the Compton native continues to push the boundaries of modern pop, alt and R&B beyond his billion streaming Dark Red and global #1 Bad Habit.'

Opaque grey vinyl and CD available

We've been excited for this one! London 6 piece Man/Woman/Chainsaw release their debut Cannonball this week.

'Produced by Margo Broom (Fat White Family, Big Joanie), and Seth Evans (Geordie Greep, Black Midi), it includes the singles ‘Only Girl’, and ‘Nosedive’. Grand and exuberant, rich with unconventional structures and world-beating choruses, the long-awaited record makes good on the band’s years of hard touring while unearthing new dimensions and unlikely facets in their songwriting; It is a sharp, smart first record, one which presents Man/Woman/Chainsaw exactly as they are right now.'

'Primal Scream returned to form in 1997 with "an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak roadmovie record." They baptised it Vanishing Point, named after their favourite cult movie from 1971, and filled it with echoes of spy movies, cavernous dub, and '60s pop that created shoe-gaze mania that emphasised sound and groove...Newly mastered under the supervision of Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios, London, these comprehensive releases create the definitive document of Primal Scream's revolutionary sonic experiments recorded in their bunker studio between the years of 1997-2002.'

Clear double LP available now

'Even In Arcadia - the fourth album from Sleep Token - is now available as an exclusive instrumental pressing. This version presents the full album without vocals, putting the musicianship and production front and centre.

'Cymande (pronounced Sah-mahn-day) are a legendary funk group formed in 1971 in London by musicians from Guyana, Jamaica and Saint Vincent. Their name was derived from a calypso word for Dove, symbolizing peace and love. The band were signed by producer John Schroeder to his Alaska label in the UK (and Janus in North America). Cymande went on to release three albums in the early-to-mid 1970s. Cherry Red Records are proud to reissue all three original Cymande albums. Their second LP, Second Time Round (1973), further developed their unique musical stew of funk, soul, Afro rhythms and Caribbean stylings, perhaps epitomised on the popular track 'Fug'.'

'Mclusky reissue their debut album My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful Than Yours.

Originally released in 2000 on Fuzzbox and re-released by Beggars imprint Too Pure in 2003, My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful Than Yours introduced Cardiff band Mclusky as an urgent new voice in UK rock music.'

'An abandoned cathedral. A gruesome murder. A powerful supernatural entity living in the catacombs. It all comes to a head in downtown Los Angeles. What will happen and who will live to tell the tale? Such is the storyline of Cathedral, the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream Carpenter had in 2024. Cathedral has all the drama, dark atmosphere, and frenetic pacing of a classic heavy metal record. Especially designed as the soundtrack to the graphic novel, each track corresponds to a specific section of the book.'

The Next film at Louth Film Club is Miroirs No. 3 at Louth's Playhouse cinema

Monday 10 August at 7.30 p.m.

Christian Petzold / Germany / 2025 / Cert / 86 mins / subtitled

Piano-student Laura has just lost her unloved boyfriend in a car crash. How can she find peace? What is really troubling her? The film is charged with a high potential tension throughout, as if touching any part would cause an instantly revealing explosion. It’s “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”, as Churchill once described Russia.
