Album of the Week: Michael Marcagi – Under The Streetlights

Ohio-born Michael Marcagi broke through in 2024 with the viral hit "Scared To Start" off EP American Romance. His first album has just been released - a nice collection of contemporary singer-songwriter material (he describes his music as granola folk!).

Album of the Week: Dove Ellis – Blizzard

Let's start the new year with some quality singer/songwriter fare, this from Irish troubadour Dove Ellis. Pitchfork were on the money with this one (if a little churlish with their 7.6 rating!): The ambitious young Irish balladeer crafts a debut album that’s heavy on the drama, letting moments of anthemic beauty peak through his cryptic delivery.

Album of the Week: Boy & Bear – Tripping Over Time

Boy & Bear's new album looks at "the passing of time through a variety of lenses" singer Dave Hosking told the ABC. This is a really nice bunch of songs, the sixth album from the Australian band.

Album of the Week: Richard Ashcroft – Lovin’ You

As Qobuz say: Everything sounds right on Lovin' You—and let's be glad that Ashcroft, 54, just wasn't made for these times. In contrast to the heaviness of the world, the album crackles with optimism and romance.  New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm.

”Throughout COSPLAY, the band reshape unexpected elements into strange, unpredictable forms. Riffs mutate into commentary on celebrity sleaze, and even fragments of theoretical physics are pressed into propulsive rock.” #AlbumOfTheWeek #Music #Sorry www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/cosp...

Album of the Week: The Last Dinner Party – From The Pyre

The Last Dinner Party's second album brings another superb dollop of glam rock, full of slightly over-wrought vocals, great hooks and lyrics. The Line of Best Fit said that "Pyre, like/perhaps slightly more than Prelude, is fiercely ambitious, gloriously messy, and wickedly entrancing".

Toujours aussi à l’aise entre rugosité et textures éthérées, Deftones prouve avec 'private music', son dixième album en plus de 30 ans de carrière, qu'il n’a jamais été aussi populaire et légitime qu’en 2025. Chronique et écoute intégrale : https://www.mowno.com/disques/deftones-private-music/

Album of the Week: Tami Neilson – Neon Cowgirl

We think this is adoptive Kiwi Tami Neilson's tenth studio album, a collection of songs that is country infused. Opening with the orchestrally backed and very traditional "Foolish Heart" this is a polished album that plays to her wonderful voice so suited to old school country and full of drama.

Album of the Week: HAIM – I quit

HAIM are back after quite a wait (their last album was released in 2020) and they don't disappoint. Qobuz described it as "warm, fresh and idiosyncratic". This is a great well produced collection of rock/pop - we can't wait to share tracks from it with you.

Album of the Week: Kaleo – MIXED EMOTIONS

This is the third album from Icelandic rockers Kaleo. It explores some pretty serious material (e.g. mass shootings in "USA Today") with impactful and polished blues rock. Website When The Horn Blows described how "KALEO have crafted a thunderous, tender, and often harrowing journey through desolation and defiance, death and deathlessness".

Album of the Week: Miley Cyrus – Something Beautiful

After finally achieving her first Grammys for previous album Endless Summer Vacation Miley Cyrus had indisputably become a serious Pop artist. She was liberated in this followup album where she is free to be much more freeform, dare we say experimental. Its certainly an eclectic collection with some solid tracks.

Album of the Week: Mitch James – This is not what I had in mind

This is Mitch James' third (and apparently final) album as the 29 year old steps away from music. What a shame, one of the top Kiwi music talents producing top international pop. It sounds like the machinations of the music industry were too much for him - but this is a great album to enjoy.

Sting, We’ll Be Together

Sting got up to a lot between his first and second album, including reuniting with the Police, saving the world, and … making beer commercials? The #albumoftheweek checks out the road to “We’ll Be Together.”
