Leon Bridges, Happiness Anytime
Continuing to defy expectations, the Texan R&B songwriter heads for the London dancefloor on a joyful collaboration with acid-jazz outfit Jungle.
Hermanos Gutiérrez, Los Ojos del Cóndor
Dedicated to the instrumental folk duo’s father, their forlorn cinematic expanse is given greater breadth and interwoven liveliness on their seventh LP.
Joy Division, Eternal
With its recently discovered live volumes as its focus, this career-ranging box set valuably continues to lay flat the post-punk band’s sound at its most raw and unadorned.
