War Child<\/a> has rallied a characteristically impressive lineup for the latest instalment in its generation-spanning Help compilation series. Recorded at Abbey Road and led by the first Arctic Monkeys single<\/a> since 2022, Help(2) features new music from Big Thief, Cameron Winter, Olivia Rodrigo (covering<\/a> none other than the Magnetic Fields), King Krule, Fontaines D.C., Bat for Lashes, Pulp<\/a>, Wet Leg, Depeche Mode, and Black Country, New Road, as well as a bunch of unlikely collaborations: Arooj Aftab and Beck; Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten, and Kae Tempest<\/a>; Anna Calvi, Dove Ellis, and Nil\u00fcfer Yanya; and many more. It is, in short, one of the most star-studded compilations since the charity\u2019s last one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds: Mutiny After Midnight [Atlantic]\"Image<\/p>\n

Sturgill Simpson<\/a> got his new name, Johnny Blue Skies, from hanging out in bars. \u201cWhen I started performing and getting my confidence at open mics and stuff, he\u2019d come to this other bar and see me because it was his night off,\u201d he said in a GQ<\/a> interview. \u201cHe started every time I\u2019d walk into his bar, he\u2019d say, \u2018Johnny Blue Skies.\u2019 So I just started using it.\u201d Mutiny After Midnight also sounds like it was born in a bar, one in which whiskey is overflowing in every years-worn glass, collars are loose, and someone\u2019s in the corner shit-faced, ranting about the government. The album threads disco stabs through country rock and political lyrics, a soundtrack for the best party at the end of the world.<\/p>\n
