What's so funny?

This week's new releases are led by Michael Nau's Popfly, a lovely collection of hazy folk, psych-pop and country, recorded with longtime collaborator Benny Yurco and featuring contributions from Nau's family. Available on opaque mint green vinyl. Also in is The Nerves' Best Collection, bringing together newly remastered recordings from the hugely influential power pop trio, sourced from the original tapes for the first time.

Twin Temple return with Doomed Lovers, their blend of 50s doo-wop and Satanic rock 'n' roll now featuring a 37-piece orchestra, alongside a reissue of their debut album. There's also a 25th anniversary edition of Fu Manchu's California Crossing, and Wednesday's Rat Saw God back on seafoam green vinyl.

Elsewhere, we've got Michael Kiwanuka's Fudge on indies-only mint green vinyl, four classic Outkast albums reissued on coloured vinyl, new black metal from Wolves in the Throne Room, and Surprise Chef's Frogs in a Pond, inspired by European film soundtracks of the late 60s and early 70s. All available in-store and online now.

Saint Etienne's second album, So Tough, originally released in 1993, is a mix of 60s pop, soul, house and electronics, stitched together with samples and snippets of dialogue from old British films. Featuring You're in a Bad Way, Hobart Paving and Avenue, it's a record that perfectly captures the band's fascination with pop music, nostalgia and everyday British life. One of the great British albums of the 90s, and possibly their finest. UK first pressing right here.
