Tenhi - Valkama
Finnish dark mystical folk. First album in 10+ years, but I only recently heard them from their 11 minute Saattue single earlier this year. Iāve been eagerly awaiting this album, as the tracks Iāve heard have been amazing.
Iosonouncane & Paolo Angeli - Jalitah
Italian artist Iosonouncane is a master of broody almost anxiety-inducing sounds, teaming up with a āSardinian sorcerer (who) manually magics beautiful, multi-layered music from his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid orchestra of an instrument with strings going in all directions foot-pedal-controlled motorised propellors and hammers to create shimmering drones and bass-lines as he bows, strikes, plucks and strums while producing rhythmic atospherics by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly.ā - sounds like heād be interesting live!
Benedict Benjamin - Tunnels
First heard him from his Marinerās Children band a while ago. Nice alternative folk, sounds more intriguing than I thought it would.
Jay-Jay Johanson - Fetish
Swedish downbeat electro-pop trip-hop chamber pop.
Decisive Pink - Ticket To Fame
Decisive Pink are Kate NV and Deradoorian. Synthesizer alt-pop.
CV Vision - Im Tal der Stutzer
German electro pop. His new album āis packed full of galloping drums, feudal prog riffs and poetic lyrics harking back to a golden age.ā
Sivu - Wild Horse Running
Low key indie alt-pop.
Anika - Eat Liquid
Commissioned as a piece to be performed in a planetarium in Berlin, so is a bit spacey and unsettled.
Anni Rossi - Live at St Vitus
Unfortunately not a new album, but some live songs from this Joanna Newsom compared artist, but guitars and not harp.
TEKE:TEKE - Hagata
Not entirely sure if I like this one just yet, but will find out. Japanese psychedilic folk experimental rock band.
Marcela Lucatelli (with Jonas Engel and Maria Portugal) - Live In Koln
Now, Iām fairly certain I donāt ālikeā this, and it just popped up as Iām following Maria Portugal, but this sounds bonkers. four live āsongsā, with Marcela screaming and making strange wails and demonic babbles throughout, as far as I can tell. It wonāt be like anything else that you hear today / this year.
