What’s on your radar?
Andrew Wasylyk - Irreparable Parables
New album of modern composition/chamber pop from the Scottish multi-instrumentalist, on Clay Pipe. Featuring collaborations with Gruff Rhys, Kathryn Joseph, Stuart Murdoch and Field Music. Mellow and lovely.
25+ albums in my to investigate list, but starting with:
Alcoholic Faith Mission - This Is What We Are (According to The Skeleton Gospel)
First album in 10+ years, so happy they’re back, lovely to hear the two singers’ voices again. Danish catchy chamber indie pop. FFO The New Pornographers, Mew.
Looking like a stacked week. Flylo, Shabaka, Denzel Curry, Modeselektor and Joshua Idehen
Starting with Shabaka - Of the Earth
Spiritual jazz
Bosse-de-Nage - Hidden Fires Burn Hottest
Experimental Black Metal from Bay Area, California. Out on The Flenser so guaranteed to rip and probably be dark af.
Hey everyone gather round, this album rules
Surfbort - Reality Star
Punky garage rock, 14 songs in 30 minutes, hitting the @Funkhouser ratio.
Bonnie “Prince” Billy - We Are Together Again
He’s been back in fine form recently, so I’m looking forward to this. More of a folk flavour than last year’s more country oriented Purple Bird album, based on the reviews.
Some great stuff on here. Really enjoyed listening to this.
That’s an absolutely brilliant roster of contributors. Always enjoy and admire what they do for these things
Seeing Olivia Rodrigo cover The Magnetic Fields wasn’t something I was expecting.
Modeselektor - Classics vol. 1
Reworking of some “classic” Modeselektor tunes which let’s face it didn’t need a rework. Will the ever hit the heavy heights of Happy Birthday or Monkeytown ever again? I highly doubt it 
Denzel Curry - Strictly 4 The Scythe
Denzel alongside A$AP Ferg, Tia Corine, Bktherula and Key Nyata.
Seamus Fogarty - Ships
Once it’s actually released on Bandcamp…
I’ll mostly be listening to this, King Shabaka and Dave Stapleton’s release from last week this morning, all excellent.
The Yussef Dayes Experience - LIVE FROM MT. FUJI - LP
The third live album from the London Jazz drummer’s super group, the others being Joshua Tree (2022) & Malibu (2024). The incredible session was available on YT for over a year now (see below) and is absolutely worth a watch. Special mention to Minami Kizuki playing Sanshin who features on 2 tracks. Fave Track: Turquoise Galaxy
Bandcamp - Appears the Embeded player isn’t working as there is no preview track
Songlink
In the interest of completeness, the bonus track has also gone up separately
Katherine Priddy - These Frightening Machines
Folky artist who has apparently expanded into other styles on this one and is getting great reviews.
Natalie Jane Hill - Hopeful Woman
Mellow singer-songwriter stuff. I really enjoyed her Azalea album.
Cowboy Hunters - Epeepee EP
In which our intrepid punk heros take on racist flag-shaggers, funds for merry-making and the joys of drinking to block out the horrors of the world.
Emma Ruth Rundle - Some Heavy Demos
A Bandcamp Day release of early career demos to raise funds for a new album recording.
Nina Nastasia - assorted outtakes
Another Bandcamp Day release of demos and outtakes from throughout her career (including 3 from the sessions for Dogs!).
Wow, what a place to play.
Ailsa Tully - Womb Room
Indie folk with field recordings and lovely string arrangements.
OYDAR - Bus Depot
one of my all time dogs adding skittery drum machines to his folky harmony-rich songwriting. He’s really good!
waterbaby - Memory Be a Blade
Debut album from Stockholm singer-songwriter. Mix of folk, R&B and bedroom, electro pop on Sub Pop. Really interesting.
FFO: Nilüfer Yanya, Mustafa & Sufjan Stevens
