Unknown T - Blood Diamond
Been quite excited for this UK rap debut. Loud and Quiet saying it
sits alongside Boy In Da Corner, A Grand Don’t Come for Free, Kala, Made in The Manor, Konnichiwa, and GREY Area.
Only a few tracks in so far but I’m enjoying it a lot so far.

Glass City - Hope Ransom
New EP from Edinburgh Screamo outfit/pedal nerds. It rips.
Great live band even if they did give me tinnitus that lasted about 6 months. Seeing them again at the end of this month so will definitely be wearing ear plugs

Ooof, good to know! Yet to see them, liked the album they did last year on Hominid Sounds.
Infant Island - Obsidian Wreath
Screamo? Death Metal? I don’t know. Should be fast and heavy as hell.

Liam Gallagher + John Squire - Just Another Rainbow
Single released ahead of the album in spring - all music and lyrics by Squire, then vocals by Liam. Nice baggy jangle, I’m pretty into it honestly

Post-hardcore / Post-rock

Grand Loge - Unruh
Taking a bit of a detour from my usual comfort zone with this one (might as well in january when the releases are still manageable) - one single 45 minute track ‘ritual ambient’ concept album from a French group as a companion piece to a book which Google translated the description of as:
Eight. Eight damned. Prisoners of a quantum vacuum which is the matrix of Everything, they constantly relive the atrocious conditions of their death. In the middle of a maze as vast as a giant planet, the survivors of a Hell that rejected them now rub shoulders with incredible creatures hidden behind mists of pastel lights.
Why are they still alive after being tortured and killed? What sophisticated civilization created this labyrinth where space and time are so different? Will they discover other universes beyond this titanic architecture which soliloquizes in full light: Soliloquium in Splendor?
Which sounds pretty metal to me, rather than ambient, but going to see where it goes!

The Violent Youth - Na Igle
80s sounding synthy new wave by a duo from Belarus and Germany. I like the bits that sound like Depeche Mode in Russian. Maybe I should just listen to some Depeche Mode.
FFO: Ian Brown, Richard Ashcroft, Van Morrison, MIA, Matt Le Tissier

Kali Uchis - ORQUÍDEAS
This is the big album of the day surely. 4th album from the contemporary Latin R&B singer/songwriter, the last three were all great, expecting nothing less here.

Roy Montgomery and Friends - Broken Heart Surgery
Layered droning guitar with friends adding ethereal vocals. Beautiful stuff. It looks like this came out on Monday, I can only see it on Bandcamp though.

Arrested Development - Bullets in the Chamber
Speech is the only original member left of the Atlanta 90s hip-hop group, still doing politically engaged and positive afrocentric rap. Chuck D among the guests.
Haven’t been really into one since her first (though have definitely enjoyed tracks), but hoping this’ll do the job
Scotch Rolex, Shackleton & Omutaba - The Three Hands of Doom (Nyege Nyege Tapes)
From the Boomkat review:
Heavy, heavy, heavyyyyy rhythmic madness from Shackleton, Scotch Rolex and Omutaba, invoking new rhythmic traditions on an enchanted debut album for Nyege Nyege Tapes, twisting galvanic rhythms from HHY & The Kampala Unit’s Omutaba into sozzled, psychedelic peregrinations. Dubby, kinetic and viciously mind-bending, it’s peak gear if you’re into anything from African Head Charge to Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force.
