I’m worried for this sites server if SP ever announce a Machina re-issue (available on 8 Discs, 10 LPs / 12 GB Download, 87 cassettes).

I’ve listened to the Half Waif album about six times now. Really love it. At some point I’ll take it off repeat and listen to Grouper. But not yet.

This giraffes? Giraffes! is fucking excellent. Bit less unhinged but no less enjoyable.

I have the vinyl on order and it is supposedly out next Friday. CD not until June. Already out to stream.

Can’t understand that at all.

There’s a new WaqWaq Kingdom EP out today:

Think someone posted them in last year’s Bangers thread?

Guilty. Thanks for the heads up.

So far, from all I have listened to so far this week, including Grouper, Janelle, Elysia Crampton,etc., the album that has really caught my attention is Elina Duni’s first solo album, Partir. Albanian-Swiss, Elina is described as ‘conceptual art/contemporary folk’, which sounds vaguely dreadful. But this is not vaguely dreadful at all - in fact, it is quite beautiful - whatever you think of this style, she really is a terrific vocalist …

Loved Slop. Kinda wish it was on there though.

#52

Just on my first listen of it now. I really liked her ep and she was good live a couple of years ago, so am looking forward to seeing what a full album is like.

#53

It lasts longer, and still sounds great, if you listen to it all the way through at 33rpm like I did the first time I put it on.

Thanks to everyone upthread bigging up the Giraffes? Giraffes! record.
Great fun, enjoying it a lot…

Not sure if it came out on Friday, but there’s a new Kathryn Joseph single out now. https://open.spotify.com/album/2EMMWAhfeueU778KwDPFqb?si=Lvz1wswiRj-Ud-wP2vRzZQ

(Edit: looks like a video for the first track came out in March, but the b-side is new)

For those who like Elliott Smith’s few upbeat songs, this is worth a look:

Nothing special about it - Just really good lo-fi acoustic guitar pop.
