About This Box
What you’ll be listening to...
Your box will include a handpicked selection of two or three albums from this collection of eight:

Trust
Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Trust
Elvis Costello
The truth is that Trust is probably the most diverse and yet consistently great album that Elvis & the Attractions ever released.
Probably Costello’s most underrated album, Trust is sophisticated and varied, and something of a deep breath following the heedless rush of the records which had preceded it. It’s a remarkable collection of songs which represents yet another high water mark in the early career of a young juggernaut seemingly incapable of anything less than brilliance.

So Long See You Tomorrow
Bombay Bicycle Club

So Long See You Tomorrow
Bombay Bicycle Club
Bombay Bicycle Club's latest So Long, See You Tomorrow is an often dazzling, euphoric electronic-pop record where the band has decided to depart from their jangly indie pop roots.
first single “Carry Me” and opener “Overdone” show Bombay Bicycle Club getting newly aggressive, where they just want to express their joy in discovering different forms of sonic expression.
The pummeling drum track of “Overdone” would’ve been ear-turning enough, but the title becomes a wink as the band piles on battling countermelodies, percussive synths, staggered drops and octave-shifted guitars. Meanwhile, “Carry Me” boasts the closest thing to a guitar riff, but it sounds more like a trombone over an impossibly jerky, inhuman rhythm, imagining Hidden-era These New Puritans as flower children rather than warmongers.
Tracklist
1. Overdone
2. It's Alright Now
3. Carry Me
4. Home By Now
5. Whenever, Wherever
6. Luna
7. Eyes Off You
8. Feel

World's Strongest Man
Gaz Coombes

World's Strongest Mantest
Gaz Coombes
The former Supergrass man is trying to be more like the man he wants himself and other men to be
A key inspiration was reading Grayson Perry’s assessment of contemporary manhood The Descent Of Man.
The book resonated on a personal level, making him contemplate his conduct as a man in the context of being a partner, a father to two daughters, a son, and a songwriter, but also as a male who feels compelled more generally to be an active participant in deconstructing and rebuilding masculinity in order to create a better, fairer, more equal society.
Tracklist

A2 - Dreams
A3 - When You’re Gone
A4 - Dreaming My Dreams
A5 - Ridiculous Thoughts
B1 - Zombie
B2 - Just My Imagination
B3 - Analyse

The Laughing Apple
Yusuf / Cat Stephens

The Laughing Apple
Yusuf / Cat Stephens
A late-career highlight
The Laughing Apple consists of three new songs and eight re-interpretations of forgotten tracks from the Sixties and Seventies. Although the source material comes from various periods, the album's mood is distinctly Tea for the Tillerman-era. Partly, of course, it's Yusuf's iconic voice – the passage of time has simply served to make his vocals more avuncular. But mainly the LP evokes the glory years because of the presence of some top-notch songs.
Tracklist
A1 - Blackness Of The Night
A2 - See What Love Did To Me
A3 - The Laughing Apple
A4 - Olive Hill
A5 - Grandsons
B1 - Mighty Peace
B2 - Mary And The Little Lamb
B3 - You Can Do (Whatever)!
B4 - Northern Wind (Death Of Billy The Kid)
B5 - Don't Blame Them
B6 - I'm So Sleepy

Prisoner
Ryan Adams

Prisoner
Ryan Adams
Prisoner isn't a heartbreak record - it's potentially THE heartbreak record
More so than his alt-country covers of zeitgeisty non-country albums or his arbitrary forays into arena rock and heavy metal wish- fulfilment, what Ryan Adams truly excels at is documenting and dissecting failed relationships.
Tracklist
A1 - Do You Still Love Me?
A2 - Prisoner
A3 - Doomsday
A4 - Haunted House
A5 - Shiver and Shake
A6 - To Be Without You
B1 - Anything I Say To You Now
B2 - Breakdown
B3 - Outbound Train
B4 - Broken Anyway
B5 - Tightrope
B6 - We Disappear

Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie
A Commodore makes a solo statement
Lionel Richie was still a Commodore when he released his first, self-titled album on October 6, 1982. But such was its immense success that there was no turning back. Four million sales in the US alone sent a very clear message that his fans wanted Lionel solo.
Tracklist
A1 - Serves You Right
A2 - Wandering Stranger
A3 - Tell Me
A4 - My Love
B1 - Round And Round
B2 - Truly
B3 - You Are
B4 - You Mean More To Me
B5 - Just Put Some Love In Your Heart

Hyperspace
Beck

Hyperspace
Beck
Beck takes on a new cosmic identity with aplomb, roping in Pharrell to achieve pop minimalism that proves there's no sound he can't excel at
Beck and Pharrell first discussed the idea of working together in 1999, but it’s taken almost 20 years to finally bring the two together. Beck is the master of unpredictability and has, since his debut, experimented with all manner of styles, including lo-fi, rock, funk, pop and folk. Here, he pushes that unpredictability to its very limit – and sometimes, the songs break.
Tracklist
A1 - Hyperlife
A2 - Uneventful Days
A3 - Saw Lightning
A4 - Die Waiting
A5 - Chemical
A6 - See Through
B1 - Hyperspace
B2 - Stratosphere
B3 - Dark Places
B4 - Star
B5 - Everlasting Nothing

Language.Sex. Violence.Other?
Stereophonics

Language.Sex. Violence.Other?
Stereophonics
‘Language. Sex. Violence. Other?’ is an excellent modern rock record. Dense, intelligent, user-unfriendly and challenging, its sparse artwork and one-word titles give it the feel of an early Factory release.
There’s no gentle easing-in, either. ‘Superman’ is jarring and bilious. An opening line of, “You don’t know what it’s been like/Meeting someone like you” signposts from the off that cuddly Rod Stewart covers will not be with us this evening. Ugly guitar slashes and agonised falsetto take their place, and they sound fantastic.
‘Language…’ finds the Stereophonics sexy, angry, hungry, focused and (generally) intelligent. And, wonder of all wonders, it finds them seriously good.
Tracklist
A1 - Superman
A2 - Doorman
A3 - Brother
A4 - Devil
A5 - Dakota
B1 - Rewind
B2 - Pedalpusher
B3 - Girl
B4 - Lolita
B5 - Deadhead
B6 - Feel
