Somehow it has been 6 years since their last record.

Just about to give the new Lorde album a spin. Interesting how few reviews big albums get in advance nowadays - album of the year compiling reviews of Virgins
Update: disappointing listen. Not sure it’s going to reward repeat listening as the record feels a bit like moving from an empty WeWork to a serviced apartment. Had really high hopes for this. Will give it another spin at the weekend to check I’m not just in a bad mood.

Mizmor - Mnemonic: Ambient Mosaic
Album of ambient, drone type stuff from the otherwise blackened doom monger Mizmor. I believe these are pretty old tracks from his Patron complied as an LP.

In between the Bruceathon how about a pallet cleanser of
In which he gets sober and confronts his abused childhood with some surprisingly jolly tunes. If the singles are anything to go by.

Etnobotanika - Kosmobotanika
Electronica duo from Poland with their third album. Their 2023 album Leśne Duchy found a few fans here I remember.
Of the three pre-release tracks I’ve heard, one was funky/jazzy like Quantic and two were closer to deep house.

Putridity - Morbid Ataraxia
Unrelenting brutal death metal. Not going to win anyone over not already into the the sub-genre, but if you have an appetite for this kind of thing it ticks the right boxes.
Bonus plug as they are playing in Camden soon.

BC Camplight - A Sober Conversation
Alt-pop singer-songwriter.
Every BC Camplight album has a backstory every bit as compelling as its music. A Sober Conversation is no different, as virtuoso songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio documents the last two years of his life, finally confronting a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create his bravest and most revealing record. It’s an enthralling, sometimes haunting quasi-concept record marked by ruthless tragic-comedic purging and sublime, intricate melody, knitting lyrical screenplays to dazzling arrangements.
