Peter Perrett from The Only Ones (‘Another Girl Another Planet’) with his latest solo album, this one with 20 tracks featuring “his uniquely narcotic and alluring melodies, gorgeous South London drawl and ravishing rock dynamic now allied to a wider span of musical arrangements and lyrical concerns.” Johnny Marr and Bobby Gillespie guest.
New Trust Fund record for the first time in ages. Reckon 90% of DiS must’ve seen them in some form over the years, sad and funny and brutally honest indiepop
Korg M1 basslines and shuffly, downbeat/breakbeat house grooves from the early ’90s. His voice reminds me of Mick Hucknall, but don’t let that put you off.
Contour - Take Off From Mercy
Half of Black Decelerant who had a great album earlier this year with a new set of Tropicalia, jazz, blues, post-punk and hip-hop.
Bob & Chums, Weez and Haley for me. Plus one that hasn’t been mentioned:
Sarah Neufeld / Richard Reed Parry / Rebecca Foon - First Sounds
Two of the non-dickish Arcade Fire-ites along and one of Silver Mt. Zion. I’m guessing lots of strings doing post-rock/modern classical, as I haven’t actually heard any of it yet.
