Critical Equation
By Dog, Dr.
Following the surprise release of 2016's Abandoned Mansion, free-wheeling Philadelphians Dr. Dog forge ahead with 2018's Critical Equation, the band's similarly reflective and pleasingly streamlined tenth effort. Having bid farewell to Anti-, their label since 2010, the quintet make their roster debut on Nashville's Thirty Tigers imprint, which feels like a suitable home, given the vintage country rock leanings they've flashed throughout their career. In a way, Critical Equation is a continuation of what they've been doing since the beginning, replete with the lightly psychedelic flourishes native to their sound, yet coming across as tighter and perhaps more focused than they've been in years. It's a subtle shift, but the core narrative of these ten songs is one of confident forward movement built on an already sturdy foundation.

Vibrant Violin - Best Loved Classical Violin Music
By Various,
No instrument can match the violin in its ability to emulate the beauty and subtlety of the human voice. Its design is an acoustic marvel, with tonal qualities that seem limitless, turning violin makers over the centuries, such as Stradivarius and Guarneri, into household names. For the great composer-violinists represented in this programme, including Paganini, Sarasate, and Ysaye, the violin provided the ultimate means of artistic expression. It is capable of reproducing a full range of emotions, from soaring lyricism to guttural passion with nuance and sophistication. This collection brings together some of the best-loved pieces in the violin repertoire.

Once Upon A Mind
By Blunt, James
Multi-GRAMMY nominated and multi-platinum British singer/songwriter James Blunt will release his sixth studio album Once Upon A Mind on October 25th featuring the new single "Cold". After flirting with electronica on his last album, Blunt returns to what he does best on Once Upon A Mind - writing classic songs that touch both the heart and the head. Once Upon A Mind sees Blunt collaborating with a variety of producers resulting in a freshness that resonates throughout the eleven-song collection, with highlights including the poignant ballad "Monsters," pop-infused "5 Miles" and the country tinged "Halfway." "I think this is the most honest album I have ever made" said Blunt. "Back To Bedlam was similar in that I had been writing those songs for a while about my life experiences at that time, and they came together on my debut. And every song on this album represents something that Im currently going through or have recently experienced. Its a very personal record, and Im proud I can share it."
