Solid month…

  1. Steve Hauschild - Dissolvi

Enjoyed Tirzah, The Necks, Mogwai and Ólafur Arnalds. Bring on September and it’s relentless run of exciting releases (Oliver Coates; Sarah Davachi; Low; The Field; Aphex; Mount Eerie; Caretaker).

Hope you don’t mind me changing my picks… Have to include Anna Calvi & forgot about Mark Lanegan/Duke Garwood so…

1/ Kathryn Joseph - From When I Wake the Want Is
2/ Anna Calvi - Hunter
3/ Mark Lanegan/Duke Garwood - With Animals

Good month though. Hon mentions to Mogwai, Death Cab, Oh Sees & Mitski

Oh wow… that Anna Calvi album is extraordinary. Neglected to listen to it last week as I was somewhat blinkered by the release of JAAAOR. I’m going to have to change my votes too

  1. Anna Calvi - Hunter
  2. IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance

  3. Oh Sees - Smote Reverser

Also really enjoyed Tirzah and Interpol, amongst others. Quite a good month in the end despite not necessarily looking that way from the outset.

1 Tomberlin
2 Idles

Also enjoying Mogwai, DCFC, Foxing and Alien Boy.

Think I’ll need to give Calvi a spin too

What an incredible last couple of weeks for releases, been really hard to nail it down but I’ll go for:
1-Kathryn Joseph. I’ve had the whole month for it to sink in and it really is stunningly beautiful.
2- Idles. Thought this didn’t happen to bands anymore, they deserve all the love they’re getting at the moment.
3- Mogwai. Just lovely

Some real surprises that I’d not come across before, Our Girl & Nothing. The return of Papa M which was so fragile but drew you in once you’d listened a few times.
Still trying Interpol, but thinking it might be a lost cause.
