Sports Team - Boys these Days
3rd album from these. Not heard much of them until late last year when they released a track celebrating the Suburu. Jangly, dancing tunes. Think a more loose Sam Fender and you’ll be nearly there.

Moontype - I Let the Wind Push Down On Me
Melancholy indie jams
Lindstrøm - Sirius Syntoms
Progressive electronic / modern disco. It’s been a while since I’ve heard any Lindstrøm music but this sounds reassuringly bright, warm and summery.

Florry - Sounds Like…
Alt country rock band return with an album full of loose, southern fried country rock. I love 2023’s The Holey Bible, so expecting good things.

Sedona - Getting Into Heaven
LA based indie pop artist. Recalls female leads like Stevie Nicks. Nostalgic, hook filled, pop with a contemporary feel
As much as I’ve been looking forward to Stereolab’s return, I’ve been looking forwards to this one more: These New Puritans ‘Crooked Wing’.
For those who don’t know them, I’m not sure how to describe them - like later Talk Talk but sometimes with loud/martial drums?

Most Things - Bigtime
Slacker post-punk from London bass and drum duo.
Yugen Blakrok - The Illusion of Being
South African hip hop, mystic themes, sort of gloomy trip hoppy mood. Good for headphones walking around a city
