‘People, Hell and Angels’ is released today - featuring previously unreleased studio recordings by Jimi Hendrix from 1968 to 1970. By 1968 Jimi had become eager to develop new material with old friends and new ensembles, and outside of the Jimi Hendrix Experience he was working behind the scenes on his next musical statement.

‘People, Hell and Angels’ showcases 12 of these recordings, encompassing a variety of sounds, styles, and instruments - horns, keyboards, percussion and second guitar. The album provides a compelling window into his growth as a songwriter, musician and producer.

After a career spanning 15 years, including 5 No. 1 albums and 2008’s million selling ‘Best of’ compilation ‘A Decade in the Sun’, Sterephonics return with their eighth studio album ‘Graffiti on the Train’. The album is loosely based around a screenplay, written by frontman Kelly Jones, about two friends who flee the country after a tragic accident.

Rhye is a meeting of two musicians - Robin Hannibal from Copenhagen, and Canadian Mike Milosh, from his adopted city of Berlin. The relationship began when Robin commissioned Mike to remix some of his work. When the songs came back, Robin was inspired by how “it didn't sound that much like a remix really, instead it was like Mike had created layers and layers of amazing vocals and created an idea for a new song."

Laura Mvula releases her debut album today ‘Sing to the Moon’. Described as “the voice of 2013” by The Evening Standard, the classically trained, singer-songwriter’s music fuses orchestral soul with velvety harmonies and emotional vocals – or as The Line of Best fit put it “tranquil, touching and often poignant songs that act as hymns for a modern era."

Florence + The Machine, Palma Violets, The Killers and Johnny Marr were recognised at last night's NME Awards held at London's Troxy.

Ed Harcourt releases his sixth studio album ‘Back into the Woods’ today on  CCCLX. Recorded in just six hours at the iconic Abbey Road studios, it’s an album rich in emotional intensity that takes a stripped down instrumental approach – letting Ed’s signature  lyrical dexterity come to the fore.

Palma Violets release their hotly anticipated debut album ‘180’ today on Rough Trade Records. The London four-piece formed last year and up until recently have had minimum online presence and no songs recorded, instead preferring for people to come and experience their raucous live shows at their Lambeth studio 180.  The album is named after this building, which also features on the cover.

Theme Park release their eponymous debut album today on Transgressive Records.  Opening with the loose, beaty ‘Big Dream’ and including the sun-kissed 'Jamaica' and most recent single ‘Tonight’, the album aims to capture that rich period of life between school and the early twenties. It evokes far flung places and sunny days – although it was actually recorded in a small almost windowless studio in Hackney.

Post War years release their second album 'Galapagos'  today – the follow up to 2009's 'The Greats and the Happenings'. 'Galapagos' builds on the rich and innovative melodies and irresistibly squelchy, electronic basslines found on the band's last two critically acclaimed EPs - ‘Glass House’ and ‘The Bell.
