Rural France - Sloths
Fourth record from fuzz loving jangle pop duo. Apparently their jangliest record to date. Scruffy jangle pop meets beach boys style vocals and melancholic poppy hooks. FFO Teenage Tom Petties, pavement, teenage fanclub ect…

Aldous Harding - Train on the Island
Fifth record from the NZer, co-produced with long term collaborator John Parish. Indie folk stuff with an real edge.
From Far Out
A long-awaited new chapter in the life and times of New Zealand’s Aldous Harding, Train on the Island, reaffirms her well-earned reputation among the most individual voices in the modern folk scene, exemplifying the pulchritudinous, endlessly emotive nature of her vocals and marking some of her greatest songwriting triumphs thus far

Fire-Toolz - Lavender Networks
Been looking forward to this one for ages, Warp debut from the genre-straddling electronic artist. Some sludge, some vaporwave, some new age, all fun. Some might say it sounds like digital brainrot?

Broken Social Scene - Remember The Humans
First album since 2017 from the Canadian indie rock musical collective, reuniting with the producer of their peak albums (You Forgot It in People, Broken Social Scene). On first listen it does not disappoint, with several instant standouts.

Loraine James - Detached From The Rest Of You
Back to her own name following the most recent Whatever the Weather album. Apparently this is a slightly poppier outing than the usual glitchy electronics, and featuring more of her vocal than previously.

Guttersnipe - Extinction Burst!
These were one of my highlights at Supersonic a couple of weeks back. Very noisy and gives the feeling of teetering on the edge of chaos.
Switching from screeching guitar atonality to intricate riffs from the black metal/Voivod hinterland to ultra-distorted synth meltdown, it’s an utterly overwhelming, essential and vital pouring-out of the full emotional spectrum.
Album of the week over at The Quietus:

Cola - Cost of Living Adjustment
3rd album of art rock from former Ought singer’s band.

Max Cooper - Feeling Is Structure
Electronic that’s aimed as much at the head and the heartstrings as at the feet. Gives me a similar feel to Jon Hopkins or some of Daniel Avery’s stuff:

Action Bronson - Planet Frog
New one from the rapper. Expect sports and food references.
Daughn Gibson - Lake Mary Not Mysterious
Singer songwriter with a booming voice. Americana type stuff with electronic elements, I assume, as that’s how he used to sound. First proper album in 11 years
The Natural Yogurt Band - Carne
Instrumental soul/jazz type stuff, probably

Lykke Li - The Afterparty
A new collection of sad bangers from Swedish indie electronic popstar. Some indication that this will be her last album.

MUNA - Dancing on the Wall

Sara Parkman - Aster, atlas
Folky, experimental art-pop from Sweden. Have enjoyed previous work from her and sounds like this might be another good one from the listen so far.

Bloom And Ruin - Two Liberations
Tashi Dorji + Efrim Manuel Menuck are BLOOM AND RUIN
A journey that is part lament, part rallying cry, part ritual… Unfolding in waves of soaring drone and crystallized/fractured guitar… The explorations of Dorji and Menuck feel cinematic, building and unraveling in real time… Yielding a most triumphant spectral protest.

Olof Dreijer - Loud Bloom | dh2
Rosa Rugosa is back after being one of the best summer jams of the last few years but now in album form! Bendy colourful dance music. Like MMM melted on a beach. From one of The Knife. Sound of the summer.
