New Releases 24/07/20

Always underwhelmed by Phoebe Bridger’s solo stuff (i loved Boygenius and keep wanting more in that vein), but desite the comparison also going to check out Skullcrusher purely for the good taste she shows in her artist playlists on Spotify (Susumu Yokota, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Skee Mask…)

Yayyy Jessy Lanza :partying_face: I am having a GOOD TIME with this album

If you like Berlin techno that packs an industrial punch (think Paula Temple’s album from last year) then you could do worse than this new album from Nicolas Bougaïeff

There’s a new Loraine James EP out on streaming too which she released earlier this month on bandcamp, it’s really great.

Lol Hammond (once of The Drum Club) has an album with Duncan Forbes out today called Who Will Stop The Robots? It’s lovely blissed out shoegaze with 808s, perfect for a summer afternoon, or even an overcast one like what we are having in Bristol right now

Kamaal Williams album is excellent.
Damaged bug - Yonkers album arrived in the post today. I’ve give that a spin this afternoon too and it’s also excellent

Asher Gamedze is brilliant. Can’t get enough of it.

Neurotic Fiction - Romance EP

Final tracks from the Bristol-based band, full of frantic hook filled post-punk with elements of garage, indie pop and surf.

I don’t feel I should like the Courtney Marie Andrews album as much as I do.

For what it’s worth, my The Soft Pink Truth CD arrived today

As did mine, the bung in the system must have been released!

Good to have it though didn’t realise the physical release is 2 x 20 minute tracks (rather than the tracks being all separated like on Spotify)!

Is not really the sort of record you’d skip tracks on I guess…

Really enjoying the Sparkle Division album. Worth a look just for the cover.

The Katie Dey album is a perfect counterbalance to this grey crappy day, so much colour and energy. Think I found her last album too warped, or didn’t get on with the production, but this is ace

I know what you mean here. Think I’ve listened to it at least twice a day for the past week. The songwriting is just so good. Reminds me a lot of Laura Cantrell - Not the trembling kind.
