What is on everyone’s radar today? Not a lot for me but will give the new Wilco a spin.
Wilco - Cruel Country
Also, first impressions of the debut from Haai are pretty positive. “Break-neck techno that tries to transcend the club without turning its back on it”. Features Alexis Taylor and Jon Hopkins.
HAAi - Baby, We’re Ascending
Murkage Dave - The City Needs A Hero
1st album was ace this should be and all some cracking singles released. Been really looking forward to this for ages. Massively overlooked by some corners of the music press hopefully this will change it.
Solo album by Jenny Lee from Warpaint gets a digital release. The opening song features Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. There’s also a Fugazi cover.
Your Old Droog - Yod Stewart
Latest project from the ever busy rapper.
Big one for me today are Just Mustard. Irish rock band using noise, loud guitars and industrial strength drums, with a honey voiced female singer on top. Sort of like a 21st Century Scheer?
Absolutely rinsed their last album so very excited for this today.
They’re more like Cranes than Scheer but I’m very excited for it. 
700 Bliss for me
Sort of Techno Rap…. I guess.
And Dehd, sort of jingly 80’s style indie….
I’ll be giving this a go but I’m not quite sure why

Will be checking out YOD too, the guy just can’t stop releasing music.
Will also try the new Bishop Nehru in the hopes he finally delivers on his early promise. If nothing else, at least it’s a strong contender for worst artwork of the year
Actually there are a few of these bright eyes EPs out
Maybe I missed something
All 3 of them are out
Punk Rock Factory - A Whole New Wurst 2
Prolific Welsh punk rock cover merchants latest album of Disney soundtrack covers

Oh wow I went right past this in the release lists as the name didn’t mean anything to me but this is very exciting!
Smoke Or Fire - Beauty Fades

FFO: Vans slip ons but sad
Will give just mustard a go as I’ll be seeing them Sunday
