Anyone interested in kwes should check out his EP Meantime. Not recent music, but stellar.
Nine Inch Nails - Tron Ares: Divergence
Remix album of the stinky last Tron movieâs OST (the best thing about it).
Not really feeling this from the first few tracks. Feels like a duller version of Plastic Beach, even down to the guest spots.
The New Gorillaz record does really sound like the actual follow up to âPlastic Beachâ and feels thematically and sonically way closer to Demon Days/Plastic Beach than anything else theyâve released since and that really helps this album stand out compared to their other post Plastic Beach releases. Whilst I really liked Song Machine (think everything else theyâve put out since Plastic Beach has been pretty poor) this feels way more like an album and whilst not quite as good as Plastic Beach or Demon Days which have better highlights and stronger songs itâs deffo an album Iâll come back to fairly frequently I think. Really good imho
Health - R-Type I
Remix album from the atmospheric synth/shoegaze lads. Sounds pretty good on first listen.
JeezâŠthis is SOOOOOO good!!!
Isnât it? Glad to see it get some recognition.
Iâm a huge fan of RMFC, so I was pretty confident it would be very decent. Despite it being not yet March, I can see it in my top 5 AOTY. If it doesnât turn out that way, that means thereâve been some very, very good albums released this year.
Yeah I like RMFC too (it may have been you who introduced me to them a year or so ago) but I reckon this is better.
Really liking the new Gorillaz. Not generally a huge fan, although think theyâre a great singles band. The whole record is at least very good though.
Really good, pretty dark moody and danceable. Big fan halfway through and strongly considering their tour in spring
Also went back to their last album, much dreamier and jangly but also gorgeous. Iâm a fan!
So this is excellent. Lots of texture, interesting percussion, some fuzz, sparse in places. Probably for fans of Bonniesongs, Midwife (ish), Julie Byrne, etc.
Yeah I was going to suggest checking out their previous because itâs a lot of fun. I was slightly thrown off by the new one first listen because itâs really dark. But the second listen makes me think it might be quite something.
Hyaline (the debut) is one of my favourite records of the past 5yrs or so. Stunning. This is equally as good.
Hereâs my chat with kwes. about his incredible new record if any of you fancy a listen: What If You Could Taste Music?âŠâDrowned in Sound â Apple Podcasts
This scratches an Actress type of itch. I like it a lot.
Nathan Fake topped last weekâs poll, then a tie for second between Hen Ogledd and Greg Foat & Sokratis Votskos with The Giorgos Pappas Trio.

Daughn Gibson - All Hell
Not a new album, but this is back on streaming for the first time in ages and didnât know where else to put it. Although just noticed his collection of EPâs from a couple of years ago has since disappeared. Annoying.
But yeah, this album is really good.
