Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (2005)

Coming up to it’s second decade, this incendiary debut album from London-based Quartet, Bloc Party, is refreshingly “rock”. No fancy keyboards or unnessecary embellishments, this is just a slam of guitars, bass and drums and some vitriolic vocals from Kele Okereke.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizzard - Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava (2022)

By my count, this is record number 20 (since 2012) for this Melbourne sextet. The truly amazing thing is, and I take the reviewers’ word for it, they all sound different.

Sparklehorse - Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly pf a Mountain (2006)

While not prolific, averaging 3 to 4 years between records, Mark Linkous is consistent in his greatness. There’s never a note wasted on all of his records.

The Stranglers - Feline (1983)

The Stranglers were always outliers, probably before the term was even in the common vernacular. Their first two records were right in the thick of the punk ethos but strangely dissimilar to anything else.

Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (2023)

You’d think I’d be sick to death of Lana Del Rey. This is her 9th record since 2012’s “Born To Die”.

Echo & The Bunnymen - Siberia (2005)

Unlike the Cure’s later, post 1992’s “Wish” albums, the Bunnymen HAVE continued to make great records. While The Cure re-peddle their magnificent back catalogue, Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant have managed to be creative and sound as fresh as those early days.

Les Rallizes Denudes - The OZ Tapes (2022)

50 years ago, Takashi Mizutani and his bunch of fellow Japanese ruffians hung out at OZ, a cafe and live performance venue in the heart of Toyko’s Kichijoji neighborhood.

The Who - The Who Sell Out (1967)

This 2022 half-speed-mastered, repress of The Who’s 3rd record sounds ridiculously good. Entwistle’s bass guitar especially comes to the fore but there’s amazing staging of all instruments.
