Yeah I’ve been a big fan since hearing @escutcheon play him on the Monday Graveyard.

Guessing it came out last Friday as Pitchfork reviewed it in the week, but that Pure X album’s wonderful for this weather. Dreamy, hazy, shimmering indie rock soaked in echoes and reverb.

Had never heard of them before but from a quick listen it seems this is a (welcome) departure from a much cleaner and more pristine sound, so give it a go even if you’ve heard their older stuff. It sounds like a blissed out but bummed out lazy day lounging in the middle America sun.

The second album from Spanish indiepopsters Melenas (“Dias Raros”) is out together and is sounding great. They remind me a bit of an uptempo Stereolab with a bit of a shoegazey undercurrent.

Just found out there’s a new Gleemer album out, for fans of slightly gazey emo rock with chorus covered guitars.

It’s really good. Might even be the best one yet, but I think I say that about every Ka record… He’s the mark of constituency.

Love a bit of Gleemer

Hopefully it will be up on Apple Music (or, still better, available to buy) soon.

Posted Ark a few weeks ago, but he has a new single and I’m digging it. He’s a US electronic artist who I found from the HBO show Euphoria’s soundtrack and been a fan since.

Think sounds great. Nice one.

Heard of Linda Guilala? Another excellent Spanish shoegazing band.

Really excellent Music for 18 Musicians (Steve Reich) reworking by Erik Hall that I stumbled across on Spotify yesterday. Synthy goodness, and excellent to work to.

I Break Horses - Warnings sounds huge today. Very happy.

Yeah, big fan of them too. Took me a while though - given their name - to realise they were a band rather than a solo artist!

Didn’t realise this was out today as I pre-ordered it on bandcamp day May 1st but just got a notification.

80s Outsider/DIY synth. Previous collection released at the end of 2018 is one of my favourite albums of the last few years
