Music That We Think You Should Check Out

Will Wood Magpie Brain & Other Stories Another wonderfully wry collection of folk and country from our favourite wandering Kiwi minstrel. Recorded at Ben Edwards’ The Sitting Room studio in Lyttleton, the hardcore troubadour’s sophomore set is a testament to his growing maturity as a songwriter. Out Now

The Heavy Hurt & The Merciless

Dubbed ‘The White Album’, the 10th studio set from the fun-loving power popsters is produced by Jake Sinclair (Taylor Swift, 5 Seconds of Summer) and combines the brashness and unpredictability of Pinkerton with the summer grunge of The Blue Album . April 1

Heavy by name, heavy by nature, the British four- piece’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2012’s The Glorious Dead offers up another mesmeric blend of riff-tastic rock’n’roll and funk-laden, soulful grooves. Self-produced to capture the power of their live shows, this is their best yet. April 1

M83 Junk

Beastwars The Death Of All Things

A special 20 th anniversary edition of the seminal collaboration between Split Enz’s Eddie Rayner and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Bringing together the finest moments from the original two albums, it features a host of Enz classics sung by the Finn brothers, Dave Dobbyn and others. April 1

Feeling a renewed kinship with his early musical inspirations like Tangerine Dream, Aphex Twin and visionaries like Brian Wilson and Kevin Shields, M83’s Antony Gonzalez returns to his roots with this album, yet also takes an adventurous leap forward. April 8

Staying faithful to their mantra of ‘Obey The Riff’, The Death Of All Things is the third and final album in the Kiwi metal mavens’ post-apocalyptic trilogy. Stacked with doom-laden riffs and hypnotic grooves, heavy rock doesn’t come much better than this. April 22
