Grab a coffee, settle in, and let us dive into the records you need to be taking home this weekend.



Troye Sivan - She’s the best

Pop visionary Troye Sivan is back with She’s the best, stepping forward with a project that feels effortlessly chic, intimate, and deeply danceable. Following up on his massive global success, this new body of work finds him diving further into sleek house grooves, late-night electronic textures, and shimmering synth-pop.

The album glides between euphoric, club-focused anthems and delicate, vocal-led moments that highlight his signature warm delivery. On physical vinyl, the deep, rolling basslines and crisp production sound exceptionally rich, making it an essential pickup for anyone looking to bring a stylish, late-night groove straight to their living room.

Jamie T - Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)

South London storyteller Jamie T returns with Ghosts (100 Days of Morning), turning in a moody, reflective, and wildly engaging new collection. Blending his trademark rapid-fire poetic banter with stripped-back acoustics and atmospheric post-punk backdrops, the record captures the quiet, surreal hours between late nights and early mornings.

His raw, character-driven songwriting takes center stage across the tracklist, balancing gritty UK realism with warm, melody-driven hooks. Spun on a turntable, the organic, live-in-the-room feel gives every acoustic strum and thumping bassline a gorgeous, crackling intimacy.

The Pineapple Thief - Far and Wide

For listeners who love to sink into complex, immersive album experiences, prog-rock stalwarts The Pineapple Thief deliver with Far and Wide. Led by Bruce Soord and anchored by Gavin Harrison’s pristine, world-class drumming, the record stands as a breathtaking exercise in dynamic tension and sonic space.

Moving fluidly from delicate, melancholy acoustic passages to soaring, heavy-hitting climaxes, the album demands to be heard as a complete, two-sided listening experience. The vinyl pressing offers incredible spatial depth, allowing every polyrhythmic beat and lush guitar texture to shine through with crystal clarity.

BODEGA - All Inside Aquarium

If you are looking for something sharp, witty, and relentlessly energetic, NYC art-punk outfit BODEGA are here to deliver with All Inside Aquarium. Known for their hyper-literate lyrics and infectious, dual-vocal attack, the band turns their focus inward for a record that feels both brilliantly chaotic and tightly controlled.

Packed with driving motorik beats, angular guitar lines, and razor-sharp commentaries on modern tech culture, the tracks bounce along with infectious momentum. It is punchy, high-octane post-punk that rewards you for following along with the lyric insert while the turntable spins at full tilt.
