Helms Alee is really good. Have listened through about 4 times so far today. It’s not as sludgy as previous releases but that’s not necessarily a bad thing
That new Oumou Sangaré album is really good - some gorgeous tracks and some stomping blues. Finished the first listen and put it straight back on again.

Enjoying the Girlpool album, but it’s radically different from their old sound.

Can’t stop listening to the new Melody’s Echo Chamber. Bon Voyage was my album of the year when it came out, and I’ve always felt it was massively underrated and somewhat unfairly criticised for its scattershot nature.
This feels like an easier to digest condensation of that album, and just SOUNDS incredible. Don’t really know how to describe it, but everything sounds tonally amazing, as well as so spacious and well placed. Also is absolutely perfect for this weather, just want to lie around in the sun and let it wash over me.

Agreed, it’s bloody good. Excellent collaborators too.
Memorial - S/T
On a quick glance and before I start going through the rest of the suggestions, I think the only one to add would be…
Scalping - Void - Album - Electro
Bristol based electro punk, that reminds me of Fluke. I think I preferred their EP Flood as it had a bit of a sharper edge to it.
Fontaines DC, Kathryn Joseph and Spiritualized were last week’s top three.

This record is such a throwback that it genuinely shocked me. The first half is almost yacht jazz-rock style Herbie Hancock meets Level 42 bass meets Chromeo synths and then the second half basically chucks that out the window for something entirely different.
I hope someone’s listened to this record because I feel that you’re either going to LOVE it or you’re going to absolutely HATE it.
The sax on this is just so… a proper pastiche but it fits so well
woah, the Tomberlin album is beautiful
The Kelhani album is really great. Can’t believe I’m enjoying listening to Justin Beiber in 2022 or any year really. This track in particular is stunning

GAF & the Love Supreme Arkestra - Garden Island
Canary Islands improved jazz ensemble channeling Alice Coltrane and Sun-Ra through a spacey krautrock prism.
You weren’t wrong here, just got this on now and I love it! Plastik Beatniks was also excellent.

Weval - Time Goes EP
Nice little electro-house EP, lots of warm synth sounds, from a Dutch duo who I definitely remember first coming across on this forum when there were some fans of their albums in 2016/2019.
