If anyone is in Leeds and sees this in time, they’ve got an instore at Jumbo at 6 tonight - https://www.jumborecords.co.uk/events-single.asp?news_id=641 Suspect you’ll be able to get in without a purchase, although better to support them if you can ofc.

Don’t think these ones have been mentioned yet:
Benedikt - Why Are You Dreaming?
Norwegian 9-piece dream-folk kinda band. A bit Sufjan-esque, and seems like something that @GoldFlakePaint might like/write about.
Bernice - Cruisin’
Intriguing Canadian album, alt-pop maybe jazzy strange sounds. Sort of reminds me of a lowkey version of Jockstrapp maybe.
Jungstotter - One Star
German musician who had previously recorded a song/performed with Soap&Skin. Deep haunting voice, baroque pop.
CHAMPS - Ride The Morning Glass
Obviously in honour of The National, here’s the first of two bands from me that have siblings in them. A ‘unique combination of cool minimalism and evocative Americana’. Quite like the singer’s voice and their sound.
Gregory Uhlmann - Again And Again
nine beautifully polished LA pop guitar tracks. Gentle synth bloops and tape loop stutters, glittering vibraphone chords, baritone sax echoing Pet Sounds, soft mallets on toms, a voice mic’d closely and dryly, just above a whisper, as if not to wake a slumberer.
Grand Blanc - Halo
Delicate plucked songs with some harp and other instruments from this French band.
Las Anez - Paralelas
Twin singer-songwriters from Colombia, Latin American beats and relaxed pop vibes.
Sun Lo - Shapes In My Head
A collaboration between the producer ATTLAS and vocalist Richard Walters. I like some previous music by RW and like his voice, and this sounds a nice melodic synthy album.
Martyna Basta - Slowly Forgetting, Barely Remembering
Polish ethereal sounds and singing, maybe for fans of Juliana Barwick.
Charles Watson - YUP
One half of Slow Club, with various guests including Fyfe Dangerfield and Alice Low.

Tons of great stuff already in this thread, including most of my top picks, but going to list what’s left of my list below in order of how excited I am for them (not done any listening to today’s releases yet as I’m still on mid-April and having mild palpitations at the thought of catching up with everything)
Swiss/Lebanese experimental duo mixing Arabic popular music, free jazz, and electronics with an album inspired by a 13th century esoteric magic book from Egypt.
Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Lonnie Liston Smith - Jazz is Dead 017
The reliable jazz masters series returns with a real heavyweight star here with one of the most vital players in cosmic jazz-funk history
Acoustic guitar from one of the instrument’s finest players, direct, primitive, complex, vibrant, composed. Should be good.
Jazz quartet led by a drummer whose work you might know best from Bowie’s Blackstar album, with an album created from spontaneous and lively recordings from the same sessions as last year’s LP the sound of listening.
Kammerflimmer Kollektief - Schemen
Jazzy German psych.
From Barcelona via Warsaw, “post-punk with elements of disco, dub and psychedelia”
“An almost-jazzy fusion of electric keyboard textures and dancefloor grooves that dives into the worlds of Stereolab, Steely Dan and Cortex>”
Irish ambient techno lad with some tracks that seem to be literally the sounds of water.
Schacke - Synchronized Breathing
Ambient trance from the producer of the very non-ambient banger Kisloty People. Going to check it out but not sure what his track record is beyond that track.
Kasper Marott - Fantasy
Danish tech-house.

The new Braids is the one I was looking forward to massively. Saw some reviews saying it was their best since Native Speaker (which surprised me since everything they’ve done has been pretty much gold imo) - though I have to say I like how this one does call back to the specific vein of psychedelia that they mined on that debut. Love how they use space across some of those more drawn out arrangements - really tempted to make the jaunt to London to see them playing it live.

"Tom Zé, Faust and João Gilberto collide in Domenico Lancellotti’s “machine samba” "

Do you know their older stuff?
The first track off this 2014 releases is perfect
I don’t, Ceremony is the first I’ve heard of/from them. I’ll check out the rest of their stuff! Also discovering The Beths after a bandcamp recommendation from listening to Tiny Ruins. T’is a good week for hearing new NZ sounds!
