RELEASES

Elbow have announced that they will release a special ‘don’t skip’ CD version of their ‘Giants Of All Sizes’ album to coincide with National Album Day this weekend. As the name suggests, the CD will feature the album as one continuous track, so that you’ll be unable to skip any of it. Which… I guess… could be… something… you… might… want? It will only be available at HMV, Amazon and independent record shops this Saturday.

FKA Twigs has released new track ‘Home With You’, taken from her new album ‘Magdalene’, which is set for release on 8 Nov. “You can take the girl out of the suburbs but you can’t take the suburbs out of the girl”, she says. “‘Home With You’ reinforced my re-occurring suspicion that when I’m in doubt, I should follow my gut and go home”.

Kim Gordon has released new solo single ‘Hungry Baby’. Her first solo album ‘No Home Record’ is out this week.
