DJ MANNY!
(Footwork love songs, prob the footwork album I’ve looked forward to the most since Double Cup a lifetime ago)
Big week, even without the album Kanye is still recording…
Would I like any of these?
Sorry, just added some descriptions, after realising that I posted without them. I pressed post after checking there was no duplicate thread and hadn’t included the, very slight, notes
Me too!
A few I’m excited about this week:
Piroshka - Love Drips and Gathers
I’d really prefer a new Lush album but I’ll take a new Piroshka one.
Mega Bog - Life, And Another
Art-psych-pop. For fans of Cate Le Bon and stuff like that. I really liked Dolphine and particularly the track ‘Diary of a Rose’ from a couple of years ago. Interested to hear this next effort.
Altin Gün - Âlem
Second album this year already for the Turkish-Dutch psych-folk-funk band. This one is out as a charity release via Bandcamp only. All proceeds will go directly to the environmental nonprofit Earth Today. Not up there yet this morning; in the meantime, here’s one of the singles that appeared earlier in the week
Jalang - Santau
And how about a bit of Indonesian-Australian hardcore punk?
Pet Shop Boys new Paul Weller remix.
Descendents - 9th And Walnut, punk legends follow up to a quite bad last album. Hopefully it’ll be better. FFO: songs about coffee, being the one, everything sucking.
Joel Culpepper - Sgt Culpepper
Epic sounding modern UK soul album. FFO Kiwanuka, Motown.
Alexis Marshall - House of Lull, House of When
Him out of Daughters, expecting it to sound brooding and nihilistic like their last one but I haven’t listened to it yet.
off the bat, that artwork is terrible
Another great video and pop smash from Lil Nas X
Nice folky sounds from Alasdair Roberts
Forgot about this. Love the first two albums.
Darkside! E-J Thackers! Dave! Looks like a good week.
Keep reading it as Duster though
Dave is pretty great. Always a relief to hear a U.K. rap album without an Ed Sheeran feature too, so that’s a win.
Loved Darkside. It’s more of the same tbf, but I’ll take that. Just adore that ‘sound’.
Missed Emma Jean-Thackray, so added that. Really looking forward to it.
No Darkside on Tidal yet. 
Slowly Rolling Camera - Where the Streets Lead
Cinematic jazz grooves with a touch of trip-hop.
Leon Bridges - Gold-Diggers Sound
Smooth and soulful R&B
Wiliam Parker - Mayan Space Station
Wiliam Parker - Painters Winter
Two releases today as the prolific double bassist leads two trios on very distinct records; Mayan Space Station brings the electric guitar of Ava Mendoza to the fore, in a free jazz record that is equal parts spicy and spiritual, whilst Painters Winter is bass, horns and drum and is more a tribute to the flow of the seasons and of rhythm as melody and pulsation.
