Here’s a rundown of new releases on DSPs and physical releases in record shops this week.
Fontaines D.C. – Skinty Fia
The third album from the band is another switch of styles into murkier territories, with living distance from Ireland prompting treatises on what it means to be Irish living abroad.
Pusha T – It’s Almost Dry
Fourth album from King Push was produced by Kanye West and Pharrell Williams and features Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Labrinth, No Malice, Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver and Nigo.
Real Lies – Lad Ash
The long-awaited second album from English poetic purveyors of late-night insights and euphoric music.

Hatchie – Giving the World Away
Second album from the UK pop artist Harriette Pilbeam.
Labrinth – Euphoria Season 2 Official Score
Labrinth’s excellent score for the excellent show Euphoria.

A new EP from James Smith featuring four songs that didn’t fit on the excellent debut album sonically or lyrically. I previously featured ‘Skipping Stones’ and am loving ‘Into The Blue’ featuring Kez.
