Certainly my favourite title of the day:
Alice Longyu Gao - Let’s Hope Heteros Fail, Learn and Retire
Experimental hyperpop EP from the Chinese artist based in the US. This is all over the place and I love it.

Brix Smith - Valley of the Dolls
It looks like this got released last week after been pushed back from the previous week. The messing about means I missed it, as did the reviewers: I only noticed it because Loud & Quiet covered it a couple of days ago.
So: Brix Smith, in The Fall during what for me is their best era in the 80s, and more recently of Brix and the Extricated with other ex-Fall members, goes solo. The album’s a kind of grungey pop, “Co-written by ex-Killing Joke bassist and acclaimed producer Martin ‘Youth’ Glover, she describes it as ‘a cross between The Breeders and Hole.’”
Various Artists - Borga Revolution! Ghanaian Dance Music In The Digital Age, 1983-1996 (Volume 2)
The first volume of this was good so expecting to also enjoy this compilation “focussing on the phenomenon of ‘Burger Highlife’, a crossover of West African melodies with synthesizers, disco and boogie that took over Ghanaian airwaves during the 1980’s and beyond.”

We had William Prince? Folk with sprinklings of country drums and synths, but it’s all about the lad’s voice. FFO Bill Callahan, NY, Waylon
first volume of this was great

Thought I would like this from the description, but sounds way too much like nü-metal for my tastes.
Nu-metal!

Started listening to Godcaster - Godcaster purely cos I liked the artwork, and it is very good.
FFO Trail of Dead, shamanistic ritual music, Converge maybe? idk. Heavy and meandering and pretentious but in a really good way.

My playlist has been pretty subdued while I study today, so this is going down a treat now I can crack open a beer and relax.
