Reissue
Pygmalion is the third studio album by English rock band Slowdive, originally released on 6 February 1995 by Creation Records. It was the group’s final album before their disbandment in 1995 and later reformation in 2014, and their only album with Ian McCutcheon, who had replaced Simon Scott on drums.

Pygmalion is a significant departure from the shoegaze style that Slowdive had established in their previous two studio albums, Just for a Day and Souvlaki. The album features a more experimental sound tilted towards ambient electronic music, with sparse, atmospheric arrangements.

The vinyl format is pressed on 140gram black vinyl. The CDs format is presented as a mini LP card wallet with a printed inner.

Jazz
GoGo Penguin, the Manchester trio that has inspirationally blended jazz, classical, and electronic influences since forming in 2012, has reached a thrilling moment with their new album, “Necessary Fictions.”

This release finds pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Jon Scott digging deep internally to reach their integral and authentic qualities at this moment in time. This entails some of their boldest moves to date, such as incorporating modular synthesizers into their sound more than ever before. For the first time, GoGo Penguin expanded their familiar three-man formation to invite guest players, including the Manchester Collective led by creative director and violinist Rakhi Singh. Additionally, “Forgive The Damages” features the debut appearance of a human voice on a GoGo Penguin recording, belonging to singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko.

All told, “Necessary Fictions” is an album of ambitious fresh developments from a band fully at ease with who they are: confident enough to open the door to collaboration, excited about where they can explore next, and keen to have fun doing so.
