Welcome to This Week on Wax, where new releases, exclusives and rediscovered favourites all fight for space on your turntable.
This week is packed with character, from cult soundtracks and glam rock legends to intimate songwriting and a box set made for true fans.
IDLES - Caught Stealing (Soundtrack)
IDLES take their raw, confrontational energy into new territory with the Caught Stealing soundtrack. Stripped of any excess, the music feels tense, physical and emotionally charged, perfectly suited to the big screen but just as gripping on its own. On wax, it becomes a powerful document of a band unafraid to push themselves into darker and more cinematic territory.
