At 74 minutes long, with 17 tracks spanning everything from pop to post-rock and all points in between, the Manchester group’s second album was a fascinating reflection of their frontman Matt Healy’s outsized, often contrarian, personality: egomaniacal but introverted, populist but unapologetically pretentious, insecure but hungry for attention.

There was far more to their freaky first album than that suggested, though: ‘I, Gemini’ was like the soundtrack to a lost set of Grimm Brothers fairytales – and actually, it included a song called ‘Rapunzel’. It all added up to a rich, and often powerful, listen. A trio of flawless tunes, ‘Man’, ‘Shutdown’ and ‘That’s Not Me’, stood proud in the middle of the record, that was both a call to arms and a statement of intent. ‘Made In The Manor’ works as both a social history of London’s East End, taking in block parties in the sunshine and the musical influence of D Double E, and also as a deeply personal record, as when Kano describes his estranged half-sister on ‘Lil Sis’. Opener ‘Life Itself’ was their first out-and-out banger, but the big tunes continued to come.

The meeting of minds between Late of the Pier frontman Sam Eastgate and the inimitable Kiwi psych oddball Connan Mockasin was bound to produce something weirdly wonderful and this squelchy, swampy debut doesn’t disappoint. Try and keep things to one recommendation per post. It was a radio-friendly package full of brilliant influences, from New Order to Noel Gallagher – and they brought all the tunes too. Eastgate’s baritone met Mockasin’s feline falsetto, funky guitar lines and percussive rattles for an irresistibly strange result: from the funky album opener ‘Relaxed Lizard’ to the slow-building, squeaky noodling of ‘Lying Has To Stop’ and the dense melancholy of ‘In Love’. © 2020 NME is a member of the media division of BandLab Technologies.

While less explicitly political than ‘American Idiot’, ‘Revolution Radio’ instead used the energy and bite of punk to rush through the fractures in real life; a terrifying, post-truth society under the Trump Empire. Christine And The Queens - Chaleur Humaine 8. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. The Lemon Twigs - Do Hollywood The snake-hipped, synthy bombast of this self-titled debut saw it reach the top of the UK albums chart in its first week. 35.
