Hard-rocking shoegazers Swervedriver are returning to the studio to record their second post-reunion album, a follow-up to 2015 comeback I Wasn’t Born To Lose You that can now be pre-ordered — along with various fan-friendly enticements — via a PledgeMusic campaign. Full details, and tour dates, here.
This week’s new releases include the first new album in 17 years from reunited shoegaze legends Swervedriver (“I Wasn’t Born To Lose You”), an album of studio reworkings of live Chris & Cosey tracks by the duo under their current name Carter Tutti, and the UK release of the new Gang of Four album.
