July has to offer and not willing to rest any time soon. The next couple of weeks, in my view, are a little quiet in terms of the ‘big releases’. I am looking ahead to August and the pleasures that await. IDLES’ sophomore album, Joy as an Act of Resistance arrives at the end of the month and completes a period where we will see new releases from Anna Calvi, The Lemon Twigs; Alice in Chains, Slaves and Nicki Minaj. In honour of a varied and exciting August ahead; I have collated the albums you’ll want to get out there and buy – those that demand some serious passion, time…
