Artist: Deerhunter
Title: Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?
Label: 4AD
What is it? Eight albums into a diverse career, Bradford Cox still keeps us guessing with an Deerhunter album that does the unlikeliest of things – gets political.
L&Q says: “Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?’ justifies its own existence by taking a carefully considered and multi-faceted approach to the world around it.”
Artist: The Twilight Sad
Title: It Won/t Be Like This All The Time
Label: Rock Action
What is it? Half a decade since their last album the Scottish band have been through a turbulent spell. Far from shy away from it, they’ve turned that energy into their most vital LP to date.
L&Q says: “The kind of infectious songs built for performance in gargantuan outdoor stadiums, all instantly chantable choruses and heroically soaring guitars.”
