Cocanha - Flame Folclòre
French duo delving into Occitan folklore remnants and pulling up something ferocious and fresh. Vocally lead in chants and harmonies and occasionally shouts, with largely simple backing of droning string drum, but there’s a richness and wildness in the production (by Raül Refree) that bodily shoves you into the midst.

Anadol & Marie Klock - Manivelles
Deceptive synth pop from French/German duo, using the familiarity of cheesy synth sounds & rhythms to smuggle in escalating cascades of oddness. An album apparently jumpstarted by an earthquake in Istanbul, and appropriately surreal.

The Field - Now You Exist
First new music in donkeys years from the Field. Sounds like more bleary looping electronic loveliness, and I can’t wait.

The Spatulas - A Blue Dot
New record from the project fronted by Miranda Soileau-Pratt and her new band. The record is a “loud mass of tough and moody jangle”. I’ve enjoyed a couple of the pre release singles.

Khun Narin - III
Thai band with their third record of “hypnotic, psychedelic, and electrified reinterpretation of traditional Thai folk music, blending swirling, distorted lute melodies with relentless, driving percussion”. Sorta like Khrungbin, Goat, Vieux Farka Toure.

Crys Cole & Oren Ambarchi - Sparkling or Silent
Sparkling or Silent, by the duo composed of crys cole and Oren Ambarchi, is a moment apart in their respective artistic approaches, taking a step aside and marking a point of fixation around an electroacoustic method which, while always latent in both of their works, here asserts itself as a central compositional modality. However, the electroacoustic approach is not called upon here for its formal reasons, or even less as an aesthetic line to follow. On the contrary, it is seen as a writing tool, open to all possible sonic possibilities, a tool that allows the artist to draw, within the sound itself, an intertwined space where reminiscences, impressions and sensations weave a narrative on the edge of the imagination and the moments experienced together, a narrative in which a complex and sensitive layer of sound is embedded, blurring the boundaries between artistic project, intimate journey and shared dreams.

Jeff Parker - Happy Today
Laid back live improvisational jazz, from Tortoise guitar man and friends. It’s reliably brilliant.
