Albums of the Year 2021

A six-piece post-rock group from England, Black Country, New Road burst onto the music scene in early 2019 with their sell-out single "Athens, France" released on the label Speedy Wunderground. They quickly followed up with another hit single 'Sunglasses' on Blank Editions. Their unique sound and captivating performances garnered attention and anticipation for their debut album 'For The First Time', which was released in early 2021 to critical acclaim.

Black Country, New Road's music is a fusion of genres that defies categorization. With influences ranging from post-rock to jazz and punk, they create a dynamic and experimental sound that pushes boundaries. Their songs are characterized by intricate instrumentals, poetic lyrics, and powerful vocals.

In early 2022, Black Country, New Road released their highly anticipated second album 'Ants From Up There'. This record further solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting bands in contemporary music. With its thought-provoking themes and masterful musicianship, 'Ants From Up There' showcases the band's growth and maturity.

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

The debut album from Black Country, New Road - the latest stars from the burgeoning and famed Brixton Windmill scene, which also fostered the rise of contemporaries, black midi, Squid, Fat White Family and Shame.

Recorded with Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine) during the early part of this year and then finished at the end of the nationwide lock-down, the album is the perfect capturing of a new band and all the energy, ferocity and explosive charge that comes with that whilst also clearly the work of a group who have no interest in repetition, one-note approaches or letting creative stagnation set in. Featuring six new songs including reinterpretations of early tracks Sunglasses and Athens, France, For the First Time is a sonic time capsule that somehow manages to bottle the past, the present and the future.
