Xiu Xiu (XMFX - USA - Jan 26) – Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu: Vol. 1
16.01.26
This is Xiu Xiu having fun in public and somehow not ruining it, which already feels like a minor miracle. Instead of treating these songs like museum pieces or cheap shock vehicles, they handle them like half-remembered nightmares you can’t quite shake the next morning, bending familiar melodies until they feel bruised but still recognisable. The arrangements are stripped, warped and occasionally tender, with Jamie Stewart sounding less like he’s exorcising demons and more like he’s quietly befriended them. What really works is the balance: the band resist the urge to completely dismantle the originals, letting the emotional spine of each track survive while smuggling in their usual unease through texture, pacing and tone. It’s reverent without being polite, strange without being obnoxious, and oddly moving in places you don’t expect. For a covers record, it feels unusually personal, like a mixtape made by someone who loves these songs enough to risk embarrassing himself in front of them.

Renatto Olivares (AR - CHL - Jan 26) - Aguas Raras
09.01.26
Fussless. It unfolds slowly, the kind of album you half-notice at first, then realise you’ve been paying attention the whole time — usually around the moment you accept you’ve lost your passport somewhere in the parque and there’s no point panicking. Olivares sits in that uneasy space between post-punk tension and loose, jazz-tinged wandering, where things feel slightly off but never messy. There are moments that echo the colder edges of Bauhaus, and others that drift in a way fans of Black Country, New Road will recognise, though it never feels like it’s trying to join that conversation too loudly. The jazz touches are subtle, more about mood than solos, nudging tracks sideways rather than showing off. It’s thoughtful, slightly unsettled, and modestly confident — an album that doesn’t demand praise, but earns it by being patient and well put together.

Richard Sallis (Casino - AUS - Jan 26) - Casino
02.01.2026
Matures on Jan 2025's 'Felix', although Sallis is still at his best in late album tracks such as 'Mandolin Gun' and 'Contact Hours' when the pain is guttural, tactile and smothered in doomscrolling Sunday night horror.
Closer 'Yesteryear' is a softer triumph with hints of 'Eternal Sunshine of a Trumpless Mind'.

Mon Rovîa (Bloodline - LBR (Liberia) - Jan 26) - Bloodline
09.01.2026
A whimsical study in restrained chaos, where moments of melodic clarity — particularly in 'Somewhere down in Georgia' and 'Where the mountain meets the sea' — emerge like rare, hopeful breath vapour in a chilly jaundiced January morning sky. The title track and 'Field Song' showcase deft control of tension, balancing intricate instrumentation with vocals that somehow manage to be both precise and slightly off-kilter. 'Black Cauldron', meanwhile, might convince you that perfection has been attained—until the next track politely reminds you that life, like Mon Rovîa and the country it hails from, has endured the hardships of the Liberian civil war. Overall, it’s an album that rewards attention without ever letting itself be pinned down. Might need multiple listens to fully appreciate the clever little musical winks hidden throughout. Weah to go!

Mon Rovîa (Bloodline - LBR (Liberia) - Jan 26) - Bloodline
09.01.2026
A whimsical study in restrained chaos, where moments of melodic clarity — particularly in 'Somewhere down in Georgia' and 'Where the mountain meets the sea' — emerge like rare, hopeful breath vapour in a chilly jaundiced January morning sky. The title track and 'Field Song' showcase deft control of tension, balancing intricate instrumentation with vocals that somehow manage to be both precise and slightly off-kilter. 'Black Cauldron', meanwhile, might convince you that perfection has been attained—until the next track politely reminds you that life, like Mon Rovîa and the country it hails from, has endured the hardships of the Liberian civil war. Overall, it’s an album that rewards attention without ever letting itself be pinned down. Might need multiple listens to fully appreciate the clever little musical winks hidden throughout. Weah to go!

The Cribs (SAV - UK - Jan 26) - Selling A Vibe
09.01.26
'Selling A Vibe' is a decent, middle-of-the-road Cribs album, the sort of record you nod along to on the M62 while fumes of frustration and fleeting intoxication swirl in equal measure. Only a few odd highlights—like ‘A Point Too Hard To Make’ and ‘Looking For The Wrong Guy’—pierce the otherwise plodding march of jangly riffs and slightly off-kilter vocals. There’s a certain Cribtastic charm in the cogs falling off the grooves, little sparks of wit and swagger that remind you why you keep coming back, but you’re never quite certain if it’s the band or the M62 fumes making you dizzy. And seriously, never buy a Tesla; this album has enough reminders that things can go wrong without adding autopilot into the mix. Overall, it’s an album that’s frustrating, occasionally intoxicating, and very much in the comfortable middle lane, like a well-worn leather jacket you pull on knowing it’s going to crease and sag but still feels familiar.

Ellende (Zerfall - AUT - Jan 26) - Zerfall
02.01.2026
Zerfall is like wading barefoot through Toni Polster’s flooded basement after a week of rain: sticky, unrelenting, and somehow amusing in a miserable sort of way. The album never really thrashes out a proper *Scheiß*; it seeps, dribbles, and occasionally splashes abjectivity across the floorboards. 'Zerfall' and 'Übertritt' glint through the gloom, like pale light on puddles, while 'Ode ans Licht' and 'Reise' crawl along with patient, stubborn grace — rewarding those who dare to linger in the damp. By the time 'Wahrheit Teil II' hits, you’re either soaked or enthralled, sometimes both, and somehow that’s perfectly fine.
Die Instrumente sind wie gezähmte Fluten: Gitarren glitschig, Schlagzeug zurückhaltend, Vocals resigniert und doch bestimmt. Keine großen Ausbrüche, keine lauten Schreie — alles sickert langsam in die Sinne und bleibt kleben, wie eine ungebetene Pfütze im Schuh. Manchmal will man lachen, manchmal möchte man den Kopf schütteln, und beides passiert gleichzeitig. Genau wie ein winterlicher Keller voller Matsch, in dem man nicht weiß, ob man laufen oder stehen bleiben soll.
Am Ende ist Zerfall ein Album für jene, die die kleine, klebrige Absurdität lieben. Es ist mühsam, melancholisch, ein bisschen gemein und doch irgendwie charmant. Ein Tropfen Humor liegt im Schlamm verborgen, und wenn man Glück hat, tritt man hinein und merkt es erst, wenn es zu spät ist.

Ellende (Zerfall - AUT - Jan 26) - Zerfall
02.01.2026
Zerfall is like wading barefoot through Toni Polster’s flooded basement after a week of rain: sticky, unrelenting, and somehow amusing in a miserable sort of way. The album never really thrashes out a proper *Scheiß*; it seeps, dribbles, and occasionally splashes abjectivity across the floorboards. 'Zerfall' and 'Übertritt' glint through the gloom, like pale light on puddles, while 'Ode ans Licht' and 'Reise' crawl along with patient, stubborn grace — rewarding those who dare to linger in the damp. By the time 'Wahrheit Teil II' hits, you’re either soaked or enthralled, sometimes both, and somehow that’s perfectly fine.
Die Instrumente sind wie gezähmte Fluten: Gitarren glitschig, Schlagzeug zurückhaltend, Vocals resigniert und doch bestimmt. Keine großen Ausbrüche, keine lauten Schreie — alles sickert langsam in die Sinne und bleibt kleben, wie eine ungebetene Pfütze im Schuh. Manchmal will man lachen, manchmal möchte man den Kopf schütteln, und beides passiert gleichzeitig. Genau wie ein winterlicher Keller voller Matsch, in dem man nicht weiß, ob man laufen oder stehen bleiben soll.

Alex Pester (Yours – UK – Jan 26) – Yours
01.01.26
A haunted hum of home-recorded heartbreak, Yours drifts like a dinghy in a downpour. There’s a casual, creeping charm — cosy, contemplative folk-pop that fidgets between faint melodies and fleeting misgivings. It’s pleasant enough, but often it feels like wandering through a fog of forgotten thoughts, where hooks hover just out of reach and the familiar becomes faintly frightening.
The album skulks with lo-fi humour and self-aware sorrow: gentle murmurs about coffee, tea, and tender tremors rub against ragged riffs, making you wonder if Pester’s laptop was quietly crying in the corner. Listening drifts you to a strange mental mooring: imagining judge’s wigs bobbing on a black sea while you float uncharged, unjudged, with nothing but chicken entrails for tea and ghostly echoes gnawing at your cerebellum. At its best, Yours hugs you with a hollow warmth; at its worst, it’s background balm for brooding over bad decisions on a rainy Tuesday.

Zach Bryan (With Heaven On Top - USA - Jan 26) - With Heaven On Top
09.01.2026
*With Heaven On Top* is like sloggin’ through a gabbling stream of plastic trees, whittlin’ bark off anything that’ll give, and grumblin’ under your breath about how many more you’ve gotta get through. Bryan’s voice drags along like a tired farmhand after a week of muckin’ out the barn — earnest, scratchy, and stubborn as a mule. ‘Runny Eggs’ and ‘Appetite’ chew on old regrets like a goat on stale hay, while ‘Bad News’ saunters by, lazy as a hound in the sun, testin’ how much sap the trees will surrender before complainin’. Then, just when you think it’s over, you’re thrown into a hoe-down barn dance with your future spouse, reenacting spinster antics in the clumsiest way imaginable, leavin’ you scraped, sticky, and knowin’ full well you wouldn’t do it again. Even the quieter bits — ‘Plastic Cigarette’ or ‘You Can Still Come Home’ — stink faintly of smoke and sawdust, remindin’ you that honesty don’t always come neat. By the end of 25 tracks, you’ve survived the forest, the stream, and the barn dance, and you’re ready to collapse in a chair with a jug of something strong, thankin’ the good Lord it’s over.

These reviews of yours are very informative - thanks for writing them all up! I hope someone is at least cooking those chicken entrails thoroughly before serving them for tea, though.
