When beloved Americana band Midlake convened to discuss their future a short time ago, they considered calling time on their 20 year career. It would have made their upcoming tour a valedictory affair; one last chance to commune and celebrate with fans. Instead, the ties that bind this close-knit Texan sextet resulted in their new album ‘A Bridge To Far’, arguably the best of the trio of records they have released since original frontman and songwriter Tim Smith departed in 2012. It’s a widescreen-yet-reflective, personal record that draws on both their alt-folk beginnings and the dusty desert rock of their more recent work.

BTS have announced their first studio album in over five years, and a world tour.

Sorry’s third album is the sound of a band fearlessly throwing off the shackles and refusing to be pigeonholed as Asha Lorenz and Louis O’Bryen explore a diverse and overlapping range of styles, recorded with various collaborators in multiple studios. The production on ‘Cosplay’ veers from lo-fi to full-on multilayered anthems.

Fred Again..’s ‘USB002’ is a massive undertaking. Signalling his status as one of the world’s pre-eminent DJs, it pulls together cuts from his set into an upbeat, high-energy collection of club-tested beats. It’s versatile, with an assortment of massive artists featured across its whopping 34 songs, but the fluid project’s current incarnation doesn’t offer anything unique or particularly fresh.

A$AP Rocky has confirmed the release date for his new album, 'Don't Be Dumb'.

There were 50,844,461 searches for the top 100 most popular artists' tour dates over the past 12 months via Stereoboard.

Oasis obviously continued to take up those virtual column inches with one of the biggest reunions of the decade, but the return no-one saw coming was Lily Allen, who raised eyebrows the world over with her tea-spilling, banger-filled new record.
