of course
Got this on now - banger after banger so farā¦
How are we this far into the thread without this coming up?
Elspeth Anne - Mercy Me
Folk singer from the Welsh borders with some inventive originals which span drone to indie-pop and a few traditional songs, all sounding quite interesting.
Because it was out last week!

Are you fucking kidding me
Omg I had a rare day off work last Friday and I completely forgot about the new releases. Dickhead
Was literally the first album posted! Not listened to it myself yet because I didnāt really rate the last album that everyone seemed to love but Iāve got it on the list to get round to.
Waajeed - Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz
Jazzy house to drive to - specifically between the Underground Music Academy in Detroitās North End to Belle Isle park, in an album inspired by revolutionary efforts against oppressive hegemonies in Detroit and timed for that journey.
Love the font on that
this is so much up my street that itās in my house, standing in front of me with a big grin on its face
So far the ones not mentioned areā¦
Run Logan Run - Nature Will Take Care Of You - LP - Jazz
A far bigger production than their previous releases and on first listen Iām not sure its added much to their tracks when the standouts for me are still the stripped back 3 piece songs. Still though a great album, showng a group looking to expand their sound so always worth a listen. Oh and the preview track should be 'Searching For God In Strangers Facesā, no idea why they choose Project Pigeon Missle.
LIONźKLASH - Sanzman DāAkor - LP - Hip Hop
Its a reissue of an old release, but it still sounds excellent. No idea what he is singing about, but Iām completely on board.
The David Bowie - Divine Symmetry Hunky Dory boxset thing was what I was most looking forward to. Itās a bit pants though. The demos are dull and not really worth a second listen, the best bits of the BBC sessions were on Bowie at the Beeb, and the live gig - while interesting - jumps from great to shit quality at random. One disc to go.
The deluxe editions of The Cure - Wish and Rival Schools - United by Fate also out today. Very much a down week for new releases for me though.
Edit: Actually, I seem to have a note to check out Elspeth Anne - Mercy Me. Very folky, possibly along the same lines as Stick in the Wheel, but Iāve not had a chance to listen to more than a few seconds yet. (Edit 2: Sorry, @Octobadger - Looks like you beat me to it on this one.)
edit - already posted
Various Artists - fabric Selects I
Dance/electronica. 4th release on the new fabric Originals label is this compilation āplacing some of the greatest emerging names amongst some of the worldās most established underground producers and selectors together on one compilationā.
Amii Stewart track - Rocky Woman - is incredibleā¦
Came out last weekā¦
Ah fuck
Just listened to the Run Logan Run album and itās not bad. Not sure itās something iād revisit too often though. The Waajeed album though is really fucking good. Excellent jazzy house, can see this getting a fair few spins in the coming weeks. May even sneak into my AOTY list.
