Our journey through Bruce Springsteen's mammoth Tracks II box set continues. The Music Den's excellent review inspired me to move onto disk 3, the soundtrack for a planned 'spiritual Western' recorded around 2005. This is a beautiful collection of songs and instrumental pieces inspired by a character (or Bruce's) struggle with faith and spirituality. According to Pitchfork: “This was a really unusual collection of songs,” Springsteen said in press materials....

Bruce Springsteen, like many artists wasn't just sitting around watching Netflix during the Covid era. He had the idea of going back through some unreleased material and polishing it up for release as a sequel to his Tracks of 1998, an understated effort by comparison. It is an indication of his greatness that he had at least seven unreleased albums sitting in the vault that had been put aside....

HAIM are back after quite a wait (their last album was released in 2020) and they don't disappoint. Qobuz described it as "warm, fresh and idiosyncratic". This is a great well produced collection of rock/pop - we can't wait to share tracks from it with you. New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in at on the web player.

This is the third album from Icelandic rockers Kaleo. It explores some pretty serious material (e.g. mass shootings in "USA Today") with impactful and polished blues rock. Website When The Horn Blows described how "KALEO have crafted a thunderous, tender, and often harrowing journey through desolation and defiance, death and deathlessness". New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in at on the web player.

Aside from our OCD dislike of mis-capitalised song titles this great new album is a good counter to the often heard 'truism' that rock is dead. This is fresh sounding, melodic and varied rock ranging from great synth-ey and accessible numbers like the title track to more 'full on' songs like BIRDS that just push our boundaries of hardcore. An excellent collection from the Baltimore band....

After finally achieving her first Grammys for previous album Endless Summer Vacation Miley Cyrus had indisputably become a serious Pop artist. She was liberated in this followup album where she is free to be much more freeform, dare we say experimental. Its certainly an eclectic collection with some solid tracks.

This is Mitch James' third (and apparently final) album as the 29 year old steps away from music. What a shame, one of the top Kiwi music talents producing top international pop. It sounds like the machinations of the music industry were too much for him - but this is a great album to enjoy.

Valerie's 2022 album The Moon and Stars was an absolute delight so when this album flew past on our social media feed it caused great excitement. She pushes her beautiful sophisticated voice in new directions on this album, offering up a palette of Americana albeit with contemporary production cues (the producer is one of our favourites M Ward). What's really delightful is that she avoids the cliché of despair at the world and offers “a radical statement to break scepticism, surveillance and doomscrolling” (...

The Independent review promises "outsize, old school-fun", a promise also hinted at by the fabulous colourful album cover which looks like it could have come straight from the set of a 1980s BBC variety show. A really nice collection - we loved Brandi's quote in her interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe - "I've been singing with Elton all my life - he just didn't know it until about 10 or 20 years ago"....

We could have predicted The Guardian's reaction - "back to dreary basics". After the departure of Winston Marshall a few years ago their first album in seven years brings them back with a familiar mix of electronic folk, sometimes stomping, always melodic. The now trio still have it on this album named after the pub in South London where they first met (we thought it must have been a US allusion somehow)....

We've long been fans of Sharon Van Etten's ethereal indie pop and she delivers again. Enjoying the dynamic of the band she played with on tour, this is her first album recorded collaboratively with "The Attachment Theory". She has said "For the first time in my life I asked the band if we could just jam" - it sounds like this resulted in quick inspirations and great results....
