At 73 years old, Rod the Mod could probably have a whole museum dedicated to him. A Grammy Award, twice a Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, over 200 million albums and singles sold, the Scottish artist looks good from all angles. However, for his 30th album, he’s looking for a change. Co-produced by Kevin Savigar with whom he’s been working since the eighties, Blood Red Roses is filled with surprises. Far from Maggie May and Handbags & Gladrags, Rod explores a very airy kind of pop music. For Look In Her Eyes, Savigar even gets Stewart to ditch his coarse voice and uses subtle echo effects. Still very punchy, it’s hard not to picture him doing a sexy hip-sway on Hole In My Heart. Stewart’s talent as a moving songwriter particularly shines through on Farewell and while the album has a clear contemporary feel, the singer remains true to his roots with beautiful Scottish violins on the title track. He even tries his hand at reggae (I Don’t Want To Get Married) and covers Ervin Drake’s hit It Was A Very Good Year. Whether he sings about the excess of youth, his late friend Ewan Dawson or whaling, Rod Stewart has added another successful album to his list. – Anna Coluthe

Although the standard classical string octet repertoire includes giants such as Mendelssohn and Shostakovich – both of whom were advocates of the rich sound of this combination of instruments – forgotten compositions for string octet are still waiting to be rediscovered in the music archives. One such work is the rarely performed and, until now, previously unrecorded double quartet Novoselye (House-warming) by the Russian violinist and composer Nikolay Afanasyev (1821-1898). While hardly anyone knows his name today, that in no way detracts from the quality of his music.

After nearly a decades worth of DIY touring and writing/recording with various bands (including his collaboration with Jeff Rosenstock, Antarctigo Vespucci), Florida native Chris Farren decided to shift his focus and began writing songs under his own name. His debut solo album released in 2016, Cant Die, showcased Farrens strengths as a pop songwriter and pushed him to relocate to Los Angeles. He took his new material out on the road alone, performing solo with backing tracks and added visuals, while simultaneously developing a newfound sense of humor when it came to promoting himself online. With his sophomore album and Polyvinyl debut, Born Hot, Farren takes it a step further. Songs like “Search 4 Me” and “Love Theme from ‘Born Hot'” are proof that Farren knows what it takes to write a hook, while songs like “R U Still There” and “Floruit De Maga” showcase his strengths as a lyricist, telling stories of loss, grief, insecurity, and loneliness. And as far as the new promotional concepts…let’s just say they’re as hot as ever!
