Jacaszek - Idylla
The last of a trilogy on Touch about the natural world, after Gardenia and Catalogue des Arbres. Very quiet, intentional minimal electronics and keys, with field recordings.

Rapidly dissipating fuzzed Americana. Lots of Ethel Cain in here, maybe a bit of Mazzy Star too.

NZO - Come Alive
Going with the first bit of the Guardian’s positive review for a description:
It’s thrilling and satisfying when an artist’s debut album is so fully realised: as if they have their own hyperlocal dialect, and are saying something genuinely new with it. So it is with NZO, a mysterious Sheffield-based electronic artist whose album Come Alive is a defibrillating jolt of vitality. You can find affinities with other artists and styles here, for sure: the bookish but playful minimalism of another Sheffield musician, Mark Fell; Objekt’s trickster vision for bass music and techno; the white-tiled cleanliness of some of Sophie’s work; Jlin’s paradoxically static funk. But the way it’s all pulled together is totally NZO’s, making for music that’s so light on its feet despite its incredible complexity.
Oh, this actually came out last week, soz. But we didn’t cover it in last week’s thread so I’ll leave it here.

Leven Kali - LK99: The Prelude
R&B/Soul EP from multi-instrumentalist Beyoncé collaborator. Worshipping at the altar of Prince.
New EP from Cleveland, Ohio based punky popsters Xanny Stars
Daisy the Great - The Rubber Teeth Talk
Americana/altrock that strikes me as pretty 90s in tone, the way the bass and guitars push things along and these women are audibly disenchanted with everything. The hook here is these really excellent woozy harmonies running throughout.

As ever with your recommendations, this is excellent - thanks!
awww thanks.
This is really good.
Jasmine Guffond - Muzak for the Encouragement of Unproductivity
There’s some high concept sound art stuff going on here, utilizing the reverb characteristics (and in protest) of an Amazon packing facility. The music itself though is gorgeously textured ambient built around long clarinet and horn tones.

Yes! Can’t believe it’s come around so quickly. Only listened a couple of times so far, so it hasn’t clicked yet.
Really enjoying the Jeanines album though
