New Efterklang album! I’m so happy they’re back. I had a listen to it at a pre-release evening a couple of weeks ago, but it’s nice to be able to properly listen to it.
Also the second album from Sir Was, from Sweden, which should be good and hopefully quite catchy.
And another Swedish chap called Hans Appelqvist, who I haven’t heard in a while, and may be quite beautiful or weird or something else.
But mostly Efterklang. What non-Efterklang new releases will you be listening to for some reason?
Joe Armon Jones has a new one today and I love his spacey keyboard thing so that’ll be good. Also quite excited for One True Pairing, the new project from the deep voiced Wild Beast.
Bit of a low-key one for me today. Will probably give Efterklang a listen. Molly Sarle from Mountain Man has a solo album out, so I’ll be giving that a try too. Alabama Shakes never did much for me, but some of the descriptions of the Brittany Howard album have been interesting, so I might add that to the playlist.
I haven’t heard it yet but by all accounts The Cosmic Dead have gone full Earthless/Acid Mothers Temple with some face melting heavy psych. On an album called The Scottish Space Race. Gonna have a bit of that.
Apart from that today promises to be slow and heavy with Cult of Luna, Monolord and I think Torpor all bringing the tar pit metals.
