It lasts forever and then it's over: Coming soon

This week's pre-orders are led by Radie Peat, the celebrated voice of Lankum and ØXN, with her debut solo album No Human Tongue Can Tell. Released on Rough Trade, it's a collection of traditional folk songs exploring love, betrayal and women's experiences across generations, carried by Peat's extraordinary voice. Available on pearl arctic coloured vinyl. 

Xam Duo return with 53-74 Music, their first album for Wrong Speed Records. Featuring members of Hookworms and Holodrum, the duo take inspiration from the sounds of 80s pop, combining electronics, improvisation and richly textured arrangements. Also coming up is Sylvie's New Season, a lovely collection of Laurel Canyon-inspired country-rock and 70s pop from LA musician Ben Schwab, available on honey coloured vinyl. Wolves in the Throne Room return with Estuary, their heaviest and most adventurous album yet, recorded largely at their own studio in Washington. Available on exclusive clear black dust vinyl. Finally, Numero Group's Eccentric Folk Soul compilation explores the lesser-known world of Folk Soul, bringing together politically conscious music from the late 60s and early 70s, where folk songwriting meets soul and social commentary.

Originally released in 2000, Programmed to Love is the debut album from Nottingham duo Bent, and one of the finest downtempo records of its era. Built around an imaginative mix of samples, warm electronics and laid-back beats, it moves between dreamy electronica, trip-hop and odd moments of pop. There's a playful, slightly eccentric quality to it that sets it apart from much of the "chillout" music of the time, and it's a record that's aged remarkably well. UK first pressing right here.
