How does it feel to say no? This week at South Records

Another excellent week of new releases is here, led by the return of Primal Scream's Vanishing Point, the first instalment in a newly expanded reissue campaign celebrating the band's remarkable 'Bunker Trilogy'. Newly mastered under the supervision of Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes, it revisits one of the group's most adventurous and influential periods, with B-sides, rarities and new liner notes completing the definitive edition. John Carpenter's Cathedral pairs a gripping new graphic novel with a suitably dark and atmospheric soundtrack, blending eerie synths with crushing riffs to create the closest thing to a new Carpenter film in years. Fire Records continue their outstanding Jane Weaver reissue series with beautifully remastered editions of Like An Aspen LeafSeven Day Smile and Cherlokalate, showcasing the folk, dream pop and Americana-inspired beginnings of one of Britain's most distinctive songwriters. Finally, mclusky's ferocious debut My Pain And Sadness Is More Sad And Painful Than Yours returns remastered at Abbey Road, capturing the Cardiff trio's raw, razor-sharp early sound that would lay the foundations for one of the UK's most uncompromising rock bands. As always, you'll find all of this week's new releases in the shop and online now.
