Quite enjoying Weather Station. Very reminiscent of Loma in the way they rip off Talk Talk

Still not sure Hayleys vocal inflections always work on her solo stuff. Still pretty good but I think she needs to change her vocal delivery for her solo project

Bit late this week, but there’s a lot still to recommend!

Jazz & World Corner

Work Money Death - The Space in Which the Uncontrollable Unknown Resides, Can Be the Place from Which Creation Arises
Transcendental jazz inspired by, and doing justice to, Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders.

Misc - Partager l’Ambulance
Quebecois jazz with toes in funk, turntablism and post-rock.

Femi Kuti / Made Kuti - Legacy +
Combined release of albums by the son and grandson of the Afro-beat legend Fela Kuti (also available separately).

Roy Montgomery - Island of Lost Souls
Polyphonic instrumentals from the Christchurch-based experimental guitarist.

Cristian Vogel - Rebirth of Wonky
Experimental techno from the Chilean-born maverick.

Badge Époque Ensemble - Future, Past & Present
Toronto jazz group with one new track and instrumental edits of all their tracks that were previously released adorned with vocals

Others

Tele Novella - Merlyn Belle
Recommend fans of the Magnetic Fields check this out, I think both the the simple and effective melodies and the lo-fi production share the same DNA - they describe themselves as “Coin-operated medieval country songs through a 1950s Western lens”.

Puma Blue - In Praise of Shadows
Downtempo, melancholy electronica

Galcher Lustwerk - Information (Redacted)
Another album of previous work with vocals removed, and some different mixes of work from his strong 2019 deep house album.

Odette - Herald
A soulful experimental pop record exploring the processing of personal traumas from Australian singer.

I know it’s not a particularly envelope-pushing or groundbreaking record, and it may not end up in too many end of year lists, but I’m really enjoying this new Staves album from last Friday.

They have a knack for writing a really catchy folk/indie-pop tune with some lovely harmonies and instrumentals, which is perfect for the current white, wintery landscape.

I’ve never really been tempted to check them out but the title track, which is just a brilliant single in its own right, lured me in.

It’s still all somewhat understated but all the individual parts - the pitch-shifted looping backing vocals, the rolling drum beat, the soft and perfectly judged lead vocal, the teasing guitar licks - build up to beautifully conclude the track for a really satisfying whole.

I reckon if you really enjoyed the HAIM record from last year then you’ll like this too.

I have a couple of their earlier albums; if you’re in the mood for some folky three-part female vocal harmony they’re pretty hard to beat.

Yeah this has taken me by surprise a bit. Keep going back to it, absolutely lovely harmonies and feel like Congleton has brought some of the early St Vincent production to it?
