Ive not even listened to my own suggestions recently, starting to regret waiting so late to start listening back to all the albums of note this year month by month before deciding my album of the year list as I’ve not even finished April! I blame my wife for insisting that ambient techno, gritty rap and cosmic jazz aren’t suitable Christmas music.
This is an album worth breaking the unspoken rules for. Really enjoyed it, with my personal fave being White Jazz as it goes all Velvert Underground, but honestly at least 4 other tracks are competing for that top spot. Also Gravity of the Sun from their Barbican Estate EP is ace too. Thanks for highlighting this one.
