Pretty Happy - Echo Boy EP
This came out earlier in the week. Noisy art-punk band from Cork who’ve toured with Kim Gordon. Lyrics about Beamish etc.

this lad is easily one of the best youtubers
So this Richard Dawson guy is pretty damn good then eh?
I didn’t know what I wanted to listen to today (tons going on in my head at the min), but this is somehow exactly it.
Folkyish atmospheric singer songwriter stuff from Ireland:
Low key autumnal/wintery stuff. Some field recordings, some strings, etc. If anyone remembers Benni Hemm Hemm, he’s involved:
Phoebe EP
Great album cover though
The usual glut of Hip-Hop/Rap releases…
Brockhampton - The Family & TM
Family was supposed to be the last Brockhampton album, but they just dropped TM as a surprise so who knows.

Juga-Naut - Time & Place

38 Spesh & Harry Fraud - Beyond Belief
Not really listened to 38 Spesh before but I’m a fan of Harry Frauds production so I’ll give this a go. Features include Conway, Benny The Butcher, Jim Jones, Curren$y.

will definitely get Weyes Blood and Phoebe Bridgers on later. Just got Neil Young’s new one on. Ok I guess, but they seem to have retired the big Crazy Horse 20 minute epic, all short tunes recently,
Woah, hold up, ‘Chevrolet’ is 14 mins long.
The two singles off it are possibly the best thing they’ve ever done.
New Gatherers (FFO - Pianos Become The Teeth, Touche Amore, Defeater)
HONEY DIJON BABYYYYYYYYYY!
Honey Dijon - Black Girl Magic

Dance/disco/house/techno who cares just get stuck iN!!!
Cheick Tidiane Seck - Kelena Fôly
This is beautiful.
Hermon Mehari - Asmara
Eritrean-American trumpeter with an album of Eritrean folk influenced jazz. Also sounds lovely.
Adrian Quesada - Jaguar Sound
Second album of the year from the Black Pumas founder, this one “head-nodding, cinematic instrumentals landing somewhere between Khruangbin, Lee Hazlewood and The Alchemist”.
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - Bones & All
Nine Inch Nails fellas score a film where Timothee Chalamet’s a cannibal.
Pulse Emitter - Dusk
Modular synth for fans of M Geddes Gengras, Fennesz, etc. Really enjoyed their last album Swirlings from 2020.

Really enjoying it. It’s a bit like eating an entire bag of Tangfastics in one go though. Obviously you’re not going to have it for every meal but as a treat it’s a nice fizzy, giddy buzz.
This and Calexico’s “Seasonal Shift” album from a couple of years ago will make a great tequila christmas double header.
Would love them to do a full album of Christmas tunes.
New one from Soulside
Ffo: Fugazi, GVSB
(16) latest from sludgey metallic hardcore vets
Ffo: Melvins, Helmet
Not sure this one needs a description…
