Really excited about this also. “classically-trained drummer and percussionist releases an ebullient, electronically-oriented followup that is designed for the dancefloor.”

GoGo Penguin have a new one out
I absolutely loved their last record because that sort of basic electronica-y jazz type shit is extremely my vibe.

Looking forward to the new DM Stith too!
Jonathan Bree - Pre-Code Hollywood
New Zealand croony ‘dark Disney’ indie chamber pop. Love watching him live with his band of masked folk and dancers.
Penelope Trappes - Heavenly Spheres
Ghostly ethereally songs, for fans of a spookier Julianna Barwick.
Spencer Cullum - Spencer Cullum’s Coin Collection 2
Nice sounding indie folk album. With Dana Gavanski and Caitlin Rose guesting.
Citizens Band Orchestra - So Changed The Landscape
Was recently searching for David & The Citizens on Spotify, a band I liked 20 years ago, and came across this new project of the main guys. Folky indie.

Ligeti Quartet & Anna Meredith - Nuc
Meredith compositions from the last few years arranged for string quartet. Anna Meredith and the Ligeti Quartet should be a match made in heaven - looking forward to this one.
Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru - Jerusalem
Collection of rare archival piano pieces by renowned composer - an Ethiopian nun whose recordings have funded orphanages since the early 1960s. “Her compositions and unique playing style live somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music. It is some of the most moving piano music you will ever hear.”
Josienne Clarke - Onliness (songs of solitude & singularity)
Indie folk singer-songwriter revisits material from her back catalogue. A bit of a statement in reclaiming her work which she was given insufficient credit for when working as a duo with Ben Walker.
Terry - Call me Terry
Australian indie four-pieces first album in five years. “Musically, Call Me Terry still has the classic Terry sound; the four vocals singing as one gang, sharp guitars and quirky, burbling synths, the rolling bass and drums, all amidst their clever, dance-y pop songs”.
Shannon Lay - Covers Vol. 1
Sub Pop folky singer-songwriter with this collection of 9 covers.
Glow in the Dark Flowers - Glow in the Dark Flowers
Illinois fuzzy-guitared indie duo who were previously post-punk duo The Funs.
Anunaku - 063
Uplifting atmospheric techno EP on AD93.

Baustelle - Elvis
Upbeat Italian language eurovision sounding fun indie pop. Quite enjoying it.
Fire! Orchestra - Echoes
Some kind of Nordic giant collective of 28 folk inspired by ‘garage, punk, Krautrock, electro-acoustic, industrial, post-bop and free jazz, prog rock, Tropicalla, psych, and dub’ - basically a normal day’s listening for @Octobadger.
Laveda - A Place You Grew Up In
American indie dreamy rock pop.
Pynch - Howling At A Concrete Moon
Jangly indie band. “Emo Daft Punk?” apparently.

Was just about to share the second temples album in the underrated second albums thread. Will check it out

and then a few EPs:
Keith Kenniff - It Shall Appear
Instrumental watery dreamy sounds, a bit like an instrumental epic45.
Minus - Irradiance
Dreamy droney bass clarinet, guitars and other woodwind and plucked instruments. ‘out of focus imagery and low-key melancholia’.
Jocelyn Mackenzie - WAKE
‘Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, artist, and psychic medium’, likened to the sounds of Tune-Yards, Kate Bush, and Regina Spektor.
Proc Fiskal - RTH Hon EP
Some random person’s review on bandcamp: ‘Proc Fiskal with a stunningly leftfield Hyperdub-release filled with everything from sparkles, bubbles, chopped vocals and pop-elements to percussions from UK bass-genres like grime and funky.’

Brìghde Chaimbeul - Carry Them With Us
If you liked Lankum’s drone-folk, then perhaps a bit of smallpipes playing from Isle of Skye experimental folk musician Brìghde (pronounced Bree-chuh) Chaimbeul might be up your street too.
