Celebrated and Grammy-nominated Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire will release their 5th album “Everything Now” on July 28th. Arcade Fire released their seminal debut album “Funeral” in 2004. Second album “Neon Bible”, third album “The Suburbs” and fourth album “Reflektor” all peaked in the top 10 in Australia, with “The Suburbs” and “Reflektor” both hitting #1 in Canada, US, and the UK. The band were last in Australia in 2014 for the final Big Day Out as well as sideshows around the country and have announced a large number of shows and festivals for 2017 and 2018

Pixies: Black Francis (vocals, guitar); Kim Deal (vocals, bass); Joey Santiago (guitar); David Lovering (drums). Additional personnel includes: Eric Drew Feldman (keyboards, synthesizer). Producers: Gary Smith, Steve Albini, Gil Norton, Pixies. Recorded between 1987 & 1991. One of the most revered college-radio bands of the late 1980s and early '90s, Pixies combined smart yet surreal pop with jagged, punk-influenced rock and, oddly enough, broke up just as the alternative music scene went mainstream.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is the debut studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on 23 January 2006 by Domino Recording Company.

Essential: a masterpiece of Folk music

Essential: A masterpiece of Irish-folk music.
When I first heard this album, on its release, 25 years ago, I knew immediately that it would doubtless stand the test of time.

Formed in Galway in 1966 by Joe Dolan from Galway (not the cabaret singer), better known as Galway Joe Dolan, Andy Irvine from London and Johnny Moynihan from Dublin.

“An exploration into possibility”, in Fiona Joy’s words, Signature - Synchronicity is a reimagination of her acclaimed Signature - Solo in orchestral form. Fiona’s captivating melodies combined with Will Ackerman’s production talent breathes new life into her original arrangements. While retaining the heart and passion of the songs that recently won Fiona the ZMR award for “Best Piano Album - Solo”, Fiona’s expressive piano playing is now beautifully supported by atmospheric vocal swells, strings, percussion and wind instruments. This gives the album a new sense of scale and grandeur—it is a vast and enchanting but still pleasantly familiar adventure.

Noted composer, arranger, and accordionist, Sivuca developed a very successful international solo career after having performed with Baden Powell, Toots Thielemans, Chiquinho do Acordeon, Radamés Gnattali, Rosinha de Valença, Waldir Azevedo, Harry Belafonte, and Miriam Makeba, among many others. As a composer, Sivuca wrote the classics "Adeus, Maria Fulô" (with Humberto Teixeira), "João e Maria" (with Chico Buarque), and had hits with "Feira de Mangaio" (with his wife Glorinha Gadelha) recorded by Clara Nunes and "No Tempo dos Quintais" (with Paulo Tapajós).

Toni Harper's final RCA session pairs the singer with arranger Marty Paich to create the richly atmospheric after-hours album that she was born to make. By alternating between pop standards and jazz originals, Night Mood underscores the complete breadth of Harper's talents.

The wind knows no human boundaries, only the reliefs of natural elements.

From the Homeric invocation of ethereal opener Atom Story, it becomes stunningly clear that It's Morning, the latest album from the uncategorizable UK ensemble Led Bib, is meant to take the listener on a journey. The wideranging and evocative set is also a testament to the distance the band has travelled on its own evolutionary path. If not the endpoint, it at least sits at a far-flung guidepost along a transformative odyssey undertaken by the eclectic ensemble. 'Led Bib has developed an identifiable improvisation language over the last 15 years,' explains drummer and bandleader Mark Holub. 'After all that time we started to wonder what it might be like to take that language into a whole new area.'

Total Refreshment Centre is proud to present a brand new mini-LP from Neue Grafik Ensemble entitled 'Foulden Road'. Producer, instrumentalist and DJ, Neue Grafik, has been building a strong rep for himself over the past few years, releasing records previously on labels such as Rhythm Section, 22a, CoOp Presents and Wolf Music. His sound is a hybrid of jazz, house and hip hop, all with his unique geographical flavours of African ethnicity, Parisian roots and a love for London sounds like broken beat & grime thrown into the mix.

Like so many young people, in 2019 the members of Swedish Death Candy find themselves living in a state of uncertainty, not just in reference to the obvious current political unrest in the UK. The London-based international acid rockers release their second album Are You Nervous?, and it’s playing on their minds. “Environmental issues, technological advances…it feels like we’re on the brink of massive change,” says Perry, “Are You Nervous? felt like an appropriate title. I’m a big sci-fi fan, and the best science fiction is generally a social commentary based in a futuristic universe. I feel like we’re living in that time. We aren’t far from the future that a lot of the classic sci-fi novels refer to.”

On September 27th, Sheffield-based experimental stalwarts 65daysofstatic release their anticipated, expansive new album replicr, 2019 via Superball Music. This immersive album highlights a continuation from previous releases and a constant evolution which has been evident since their formation.In 2016, they released their critically-acclaimed score for 'No Man's Sky', the most anticipated game in the world at that time. Their generative, infinitely long, in-game score was experienced uniquely by each of the game's millions of players. This crash course in algorithmic music led to the band building their own procedural musical systems and generative soundscapes, crafting custom synths, live coding and writing software to make music for (and against) them.

Busby Marou's new album, The Great Divide, is a powerful chapter of the story of two men, from two different worlds, on the same journey. This is the first chapter demonstrating maturity as a result of sharing life experiences. It's the wisdom of love, heartbreak and grief. It's the education by mistakes. It's the knowledge of truth. It's the appreciation of the journey. It's the respect of culture. It's pride. Proud of where they came from, but more importantly proud of who they've become. The modern face of Australia. "The great divide is not about division or adversaries. It's about recognising that we all have a different account of events in our own lives and celebrating how those differences combine to create a unique and colourful story. Without our great divide, there is no Busby Marou story."
