Stepping out for air: This week at South Records

Southend’s Beatglider finally see their long-lost second album Dreaming Of Roads released more than 20 years after it was recorded, an understated and timeless set in the vein of Elliott Smith and Sparklehorse. The band play a free in-store session tomorrow at 3pm to celebrate. Bill Callahan returns with My Days of 58, a warm, intimate record shaped by the loose, instinctive energy of his live band. Also new: Mitski’s orchestral and ensemble-led Nothing’s About to Happen to Me on limited coloured vinyl, Heavenly’s long-awaited return with the melodic and quietly defiant Highway To Heavenly, and Gorillaz’ globe-spanning ninth album The Mountain. Elsewhere, Michelle David & The True-tones deliver deep gospel-soul on Soul Woman, Sussex duo Heavy Axe explore warm kosmische and ambient textures, and wing!’s debut EP MISSED IT JUST THE ONCE blends instrumental hip hop, live playing and trip-hop atmosphere on a limited Dinked Edition.

Red Exposure captures Chrome at their most wired and unhinged. Released in 1980, it pushes their fractured mix of industrial noise, damaged pop and sci-fi paranoia into sharper, more aggressive territory. Beneath the distortion and tape-warped chaos are strange hooks and dark atmosphere, a cult underground classic that still feels confrontational and ahead of its time. We have a first pressing in currently, find it here.
