'The Hawk Is Howling', 10 tracks of pure inexplicable menace from the overlords of heavy psychedelic rock noise Mogwai. Fluctuating somewhere in a world of tantalising splendor which is neither black nor white where the law abiding fear to tread. Woe betide the faint of heart. The album was recorded with Andy Miller at Chemikal Underground, the first time they have worked together since Mogwai's Young Team debut, and mixed with Gareth Jones at Castle Of Doom, and the beautiful packaging for the record has been designed by their close friend Aidan Moffat.

The thirteenth studio album by The Cure was originally intended to be a double album, however frontman Robert Smith confirmed in recent interviews that this idea was scrapped, despite the fact that 33 songs have been recorded. Smith has said that the album will mostly comprise of the upbeat songs the band recorded, while the darker songs may be released on another album.
'Me And Armini' is a hugely ambitious and aspirational pop record, with Emiliana’s soaring voice centre stage, bolstered by a rich gamut of musical styles. From the summery skank of the title track to the surging, breathless single 'Jungle Drum' and yearning, spine tingling 'Big Jumps' and much more in between, 'Me And Armini' is a truly fantastic album.
'Only By The Night' is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond.
On first single and title track: 'Funny track, wholly written with bass and drums not unlike a lot of the Dark Satanic Mills EP. Quite distinct from the rest of the album structurally. Thematically a return to the Eden subject previously explored in the Sunset Studies track 'There Is No Such Place'. - Glenn Richards

On "Another World", Antony lists the things he treasures about the natural world, and then expresses how much he will miss them. "Another World" is hypnotic and affecting, as well as timely. The EP Another World also includes "Shake That Devil". Part exorcism and part Shangri La, Antony calls out shape-shifting perpetrators, and banishes them one by one.

DEAR SCIENCE (bonus Postcard Set)
Order online and get a set of 4 postacards while stock lasts. The effects – drums, strings, synth – are shinier than ever, against a sinister backdrop of feedback and fuzz. The vocals are alternately sexier and angrier. And the beats are unrepentantly funky. It’s like the boys have gathered the glammest riffs of three-decades-ago Bowie and Prince and fed them through some mysterious, apocalyptic sound machine
