Build your music collection #4

Monday morning – the day that all the new releases come out – and here is another selection of tuneage that will plump up your MP3 player or CD collection. Don’t take my word for it – follow the links, listen and buy.

• In This Light & On This Evening by the Editors – a significant shift of gear from this most fantastic British band, dark, brooding and mesmeric.
• My Way by Ian Brown – from the opening stomp and piano hook of Stellify, this signals the return of one of the most enduring voices in British rock music. Forget all the Stone Roses reunion guff – they aren’t needed.
• Music for Men by The Gossip – the voice is completely unique, but this album takes The Gossip to a new dimension. Easily straddling the void between club and concert – these songs will be ubiquitous into 2010.
• Skream! by Skream – innovative and completely original this is the future sound of London. If you haven’t discovered dubstep yet, then this is the ultimate primer – dark, dancey electronica at its finest.
• For lack of a better name by Deadmau5 – I’ve featured them in my DJ mixes (they are free to download!) for some time, but this third artist album really could propel them into the big time. Trippy, techy house music with collaborations from Rob Swire and Flipside.
