KMRU - Temporary Stored II

The original album involved KMRU lending his critical ear to museum archives holding recordings of African songs, traditions and practices. This expanded version adds some additional tracks from other artists.

Snakeskin - They Kept Our Photographs

Central figures in Beirut’s alternative scene. Falsetto vocals meet post-rock drone and harmonic distortion.

DJ Znobia - Inventor VOL 2

Compilation of tracks from Angolan pioneer, and influence to Príncipe DJs and producers such as Nídia, Dj Marfox, Dj Nervoso and DJ N**** Fox.

Snakeskin - They Kept Our Photographs
Electronic, shoegazey, dream pop with a slight industrial edge from Beirut’s Julia Sabra. Posted here by someone a few weeks ago on its Bandcamp release but gets full release today. The last album was one of my favourites for 2022.

Immanuel Wilkins - Blues Blood

New album from one of America’s best young jazz saxophonists.

Stick In The Wheel - A Thousand Pokes

I bloody love Stick In The Wheel, Ian Carter and Nicola Kearey’s modern and very London take on folk music. This is their fourth album.

A London Charivari. Rough Music. A gleeful old-fashioned cancelling. A Chaunter’s delight. 14th Century recording demons collecting mistakes in a sack. Women mugging rich merchants. Nettles being pissed on. Shit food at Lent. A terrible plan. An undoing. The aftermath of a car crash. Catching people doing something they shouldn’t. Nursery rhymes reimagined as death threats. Behind the sarcastic acerbic delivery, Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter convey thoughtful, essential interpretations encouraging us all to check ourselves, through the multi-layered music of cities through time. This is about as far away from pastoral folk music as you can get.

Oranssi Pazuzu - Muuntautuja

Like psychedelic black metal? Their last album was great, so looking forward to digging in.

Liela Moss - Transparent Eyeball

Former Duke Spirit vocalist’s latest solo album, a bit darker than her previous stuff, judging by the pre-release tracks, but still in the ballpark of synthy, spacey, glitchy dream pop. She’s just had to cancel a tour because of rising costs and ticket sales too low to justify continuing.

Goat - Goat

One of the various Goat-themed bands popping up again. I’m guessing this is on the psych rock spectrum, groovy and fuzzy

Field Music - Limits of Language

Another album of art-pop from the Sunderland band led by the Brewis brothers. Always worth a listen.

Tim Reaper & Dwarde - Early Nights EP

Thrilling jungle/hardcore EP, following Tim Reaper’s incredible jungle album with Kloke last month.

Absolutely rinsed the last album during lockdown (and ever since, really) so very excited for this while trying to keep expectations in check.

Went straight to I think about it all the time and it’s absolutely brilliant. The Nick of Time sample and interpolation is a PERFECT choice. It’s almost like a part 2 of the original song (which is my favourite on the album). And somehow they’ve made the whiplash switch from that into 365 even moreso
