After a fabulous in-store signing event with Chip Wickham last week, as well as a bumper set of new releases, this week is a more modest affair. But we generally subscribe to the quality over quantity rule (!) so here's our pick of the best new releases & re-issues.

This week's curated selection includes an electro-pop hybrid, a reggae classics, a french trumpeter and crate digging Soho radio host James Endeacott. We also take another look at David Byrne's collab with New York’s Ghost Train Orchestra. Here's our take on some of the hottest new releases.

Baxter Dury’s upcoming album Allbarone is an electronic-pop hybrid that retains his trademark wit and sharply observant lyricism. Critics call it “Dury’s best work yet”—a blend of sardonic storytelling and modern production that’s provocatively approachable.

Worth a second mention as it flew off the shelves last week. David Byrne teams up with New York’s Ghost Train Orchestra for Who Is The Sky?, produced by Grammy-winner Kid Harpoon. The 12 tracks feature arrangements by the ensemble and collaborations with St. Vincent, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Tom Skinner (The Smile), and percussionist Mauro Refosco. Led by the single “Everybody Laughs”, the album captures Byrne’s late-career freedom: playful, adventurous, and driven by collaborative chemistry.

With ok, French trumpeter Daoud explores failure, loss, repetition and the soft absurdity of pretending everything’s fine. Across 14 tracks, daoud weaves tragedy and humour, chaos and tenderness, melody and noise into a rich and emotionally charged soundscape. The record weaves hip-hop, rock, disco, Afrobeat, and drum & bass into emotional textures. Recorded live with Leo Colman, Louis Navarro, Silvan Strauss and others, then reshaped through meticulous editing.

Originally released on Island Records, War Ina Babylon is considered one of the greatest Reggae albums of all time and was a massive influence on the UK punk movement that was just starting to bubble to the surface. Recorded in two weeks in 1976, utilizing Lee Perry’s kitchen sink production, War Ina Babylon is considered part of Lee Perry’s ‘holy trinity’ Black Ark produced LPs.

Crate digger and music enthusiast James Endeacott compiles ‘Unlock Your Mind With Morning Glory’ for Two-Piers Records – A glorious heady mix of the weird and wonderful eclectic music from his radio show ‘Morning Glory’.
