Wild Nothing returns to glorious form on Indigo, while Danny Brown and the Bruiser Brigade Reign Supreme on their Twitch-only stream, and jazz improvisers Szun Waves conjure a bright New Hymn To Freedom. Plus: the latest from Thou, Troye Sivan, Big Red Machine, and Muncie Girls.

Album number two from the best kept secret in British indie, Muncie Girls, is another banger.

‘Fixed Ideals’ is a triumph.

A record both charming and bold.

If you took a pop-punk band and gave it a guitarist who could lay out big blankets of sound like J Mascis, you might end up with something like U.K. trio Muncie Girls, who deliver an engaging blend of hooks and firepower on their second album, 2018's Fixed Ideals.

In a time of seismic change, political turmoil and rollercoaster national pride, Muncie Girls remain a much-needed constant.
