AT the time of writing this, we’re a week into July. Just before the Summer Solstice, I posted our, comprising 72 new albums that have struck a chord with us so far this year. Looking ahead to the next few months, there’s even more excellent new music heading our way from Sufjan Stevens, Magik Markers, Bill Callahan, Nubya Garcia, Matt Berninger, Idles, Bright Eyes and many more. Despite the unprecedented challenges of the last few months – and the ongoing issues faced by musicians – it’s reassuring that good music prevails. Our reviews section this month, for instance, is filled with excellent new releases from Mike Polizze, Shirley Collins, HC McEntire, Bent Arcana, Hannah Georgas, Fontaines DC, Stick In The Wheel and Kathleen Edwards, among the many highlights.
