Album

New kid from Walsall puts fresh leather on troubadour boot

The Zephyrs' desolate sound describes their war-torn history. First Scottish label Southpaw folded the same week it released their last album. Then a literal-minded rock revival forced their soporific sea shanties off the radar. Now signed to Setanta, things are looking up for the Edinburgh-based quintet who, with this third album, have created an unhurried portrait of emotional disquiet.

35 B-sides and rarities, with two unreleased tracks, on two CDs

Anthologising nearly-lost gems from Lora Logic's arty post-punk outfit

Two-CD collection of funk and chill-out

Business as usual for Ohio institutions

Free mini poster! More blockbusting belligerence from Kermit's overweight and moody second cousin, or at least from the film with the most laughably dodgy CGI in cinematic history. Has nobody the courage to tell Ang Lee to stick to melodramas where drippy women in bonnets pine for Hugh Grant or Sigourney Weaver plays a '70s swinger? Danny Elfman, colossal hack of multiplex scores, dresses this beast, with Natacha Atlas cameo-ing, while the finale, "Set Me Free", is performed by Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner.
