Rodrigo Amado This Is Our Language Quartet - Wailers
Some heavyweight freejazzers with Portuguese sax guy Amado leading Joe McPhee, Kent Kessler and Chris Corsano. No shortage of energy there! BC only for now, looks like.

Really enjoyable dude. Lovely stuff
Laura Cannell - AURORAE EP
“On a windy March day with wooden doors rattling and iron gates clanging, Laura stepped into a solitary church built by 11th century Norman settlers, and let the pipe organ exhale and wheeze it’s raspy song. Drones and melodies were improvised in this daylight flooded church, with more improvisations added at her home studio on strings and synths”.

Yep, this is really doing it for me. New Chalk Hands last week and new Portrayal of Guilt in a few weeks, nice little run of screamo stuff.

A couple more I found:
LuxJury - Giving Up
Austrian artist on Bella Union, cites “George Michael, Angel Olsen and the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack” as influences
Erik Hall, Metropolis Ensemble & Sandbox Percussion - Canto Ostinato
The Western Vinyl label doesn’t put out duds and Michigan musician Erik Hall’s (not to be confused with the late “Monster Monster!” sports agent Eric Hall) take on Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt’s minimalist opus is gorgeous.

French folkie indie pop, more electronic than I remember them being in the past.

Joel Cherry Tree - jesus
Contains three guest spots from Mae Powell, who I picked for a month on last year’s best of 2025 Music League. One guest appearance from the lead singer of Mom Jeans. Reminds me of Jeffrey Lewis …maybe?

Pink Flamingo - A Fire Burning Through Me
Electronic plunderphonic composition, but largely sourced from free jazz/improv and operating with respect for that ethos rather than trying to twist its materials toward pop.

Been enjoying this, first track is very reminiscent of Massive Attack’s Angel, but the tempo gets raised and it heads off to the club as the record goes on.
This is so good
