Alfa Mist – Bring Backs CD/LP (ANTI-)

London based producer, pianist, bandleader and MC Alfa Mist delivers his fourth full-length solo record Bring Backs, his most detailed exploration of his upbringing in musical form. The album’s nine tracks of groove-based intricacies, lyrical solipsism and meandering fragmentations are tied together by a remarkable poem written by Hilary Thomas expressing the sensuous realities of building community in a new country. Entirely written and produced by Alfa, the album was recorded in London with a core band of longtime collaborators including Jamie Leeming (guitar), Kaya Thomas-Dyke (bass and vocals), Jamie Houghton (drums) and Johnny Woodham (trumpet).

Eric Church – Soul CD/LP (UMG Nashville)

Country hero Eric Church’s new Heart & Soul project, which is his follow-up to 2018’s Desperate Man, will be released in two installments, in quick succession. The collection was made with producer Jay Joyce and a creative team who recorded one track per day in sessions in early 2020 in the mountains of North Carolina. Speaking at the 2020 CMA Awards, Church said: “The interesting thing about this process is that Jay kept asking me the last three or four days, ‘Are we done?’ I kept saying, ‘God, this is going to be really hard. There’s a lot here. Is this a double album? And if it’s a double album, how do we leave out these five or six songs?’ I am the hardest critic on making sure every song deserves to be on the record, and I beat this thing to death going, ‘This can’t be that good. But it was just a special, special time, and a special, special project that I think will be among our best…That’s where Heart & Soul came from. That was everything we had.”

Cannibal Corpse – Violence Unimagined CD/LP (Metal Blade)

Already well known for the level of extreme technicality they bring to every record, on Violence Unimagined, Cannibal Corpse have further upped their game. Comprised of eleven tracks, Violence Unimagined is state of the art death metal played with passion and breathless precision, making for another flawless addition to what is inarguably one of the premier catalogues the genre has thrown up. “It really follows the path we’ve been going down for a few years now,” states bassist and founding member Alex Webster. “I think we approach the writing in a similar way most every time: each of us try to write the heaviest, most memorable songs we can. We want each song to have its own identifiable character. Showing my age, I like to say you can ‘drop the needle’ on any point of one of our albums and quickly tell which song you’re listening to.” [A limited-edition indie store exclusive color vinyl pressing is available.]
