Looking forward to giving Dua Saleh’s album a go today. Her EP a couple of years ago was a mix of electronic, rnb, hip hop and indie styles was a really great listen, so interested to see where she goes next.

I’m gonna save the Nils Frahm album for a day when I can go for a 3-hour long walk, and accept that that will probably be the only time I listen to it. Although, maybe this will be one of those moments where an album that sounds fairly underwhelming pre-release turns out to be a masterpiece but I don’t think so.

Pérez was at the forefront of salsa in the mid-70s, and still experimenting with música bailable and all the danceable horn- blazing styles that were beginning to be known collectively as salsa. The finest tracks of this short-lived combo, active from 1974 until 1975, are now being celebrated by El Palmas Music on a new compilation simply titled Ray Pérez y El Grupo Casabe.
Sounds good to me.

Valentina Magaletti - Batterie Fragile
In which the acclaimed drummer best known for her work with Tomaga and Vanishing Twin plays a porcelain sculpted drum kit. Sure, it’s not at the very top of my list today but I am very here for this.

Editors album is what The Cure would sound like if Kraftwerk produced their next album. Brilliant.

Cold Gawd - God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here
Noise rock / Shoegaze. Ffo Nothing.
Pig - The Merciless Light
Sleazy industrial rock, with it’s tongue firmly in someone else’s cheek.

Courting - Guitar Music
Debut album from an indie/post-punk group who seem to be stretching their sonic boundaries a little - I likened a previous EP to Parquet Courts, Idles & Dry Cleaning and whilst those are still part of the puzzle one review I saw for this album referenced Sophie and Aphex Twin influences.

This is really perfect music for me today. Grey and nasty outside and I have a ton of head down admin type work to be getting on with. Much more Stars of the Lid sounding than anything as bombastic as from Spaces.
That said, I nearly didn’t listen to the record as the track names are so poor…

Lande Hekt - House Without a View
Finding this second solo indie pop album a bit more engaging than last year’s effort, think a few here would have liked that and will like this too.
