Ivan The Tolerable is probably the most prolific of Middlesbrough musician Oli Heffernan's many monikers. So prolific in fact that he's preparing to unleash his third collection of the year so far, a new album called Le Monde Inversé, which is "soundtrack to a film that was never made" (it's available to pre-order on limited 10" vinyl now, but act quickly as the cut off for orders is on July 15th). To celebrate the release, we asked Oli to tell us about his own record collection for Broken Record #57, and the results are as vast and eclectic as his own output.

Jessica's Brother are a new band made up of songwriter Tom Charleston, Jonny Helm of The Wave Pictures and Charlie Higgs previously of Ramshackle Union Band. They play a highly pleasing brand of loose, feelgood indie-pop, with nods to Pavement, Silver Jews and a bit of Nick Cave thrown in for good measure (and perhaps to darken things up a little). They've just released "Humdinger" (listen below), a teaser from their debut album which will arrive on  Fika Recordings on 20 July.

It took him a fair while, but Mark Peters - co-founder of Engineers and Ulrich Schnauss collaborator - has finally released his debut solo album Innerland. It's an ambitious and atmospheric record which is themed around the local landmarks of Peters' homeland, the industrial English North West (locations that are beautifully presented on the album's sleeve design). To mark the release we asked Mark to tell us about some of the records from his own collection, and what they mean to him. This is Broken Record # 54.

Norwegian composer and musician John Erik Kaada has had a varied and prolific career, working in the realms of classical, rock, avant-garde and soundtracks. You may have heard him last collaborating with Mike Patton on 2016's superb Bacteria Cult  LP. He's about to release a new collection called Closing Statements, a concept album of sorts, centring around the theme of obituaries and last words. Fans of Kaada's previous work will not be disappointed. Here though, in #53 of our Broken Record series, Kaada talks us through a few of the albums from his eclectic collection.

Russian three-piece Gnoomes have just released their latest album Tschak! which was recorded after a series of brushes with the law (and even the army) forced the band to ditch their "psychedelics" and find other means of inspiration. Luckily the album turned out great and you can listen to a sample below, but first take a look at some of their musical prescriptions in #52 of our Broken Record series.
