Sharon and Drop Nineteens for me today!
Drop Nineteens - 1991
Appropriately named gothy, showgazy music. Mayfield is a real banger of a tune.

The Bird Calls - Melody Trail
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Sam Sodomsky releases ‘Melody Trail’, the latest album under his The Bird Calls moniker. Packed with astute observations, dark humour and a slab of Americana, it’s a record based around the concept of idly waiting around for some kind of revelation.

Heartworms and Adwaith also. Oklou sounds interesting. Some more:
Helen Ganya - Share Your Care
Formerly releasing music under the name Dog In The Snow, this latest electro-indie-pop album from Scottish-Thai musician Helen Ganya is sounding very promising from the pre-release tracks.
Pit Pony - Dead Stars
Newcastle indie rock five piece. They’re very good and the three pre-release tracks I’ve heard from this are great.
Rats on Rafts - Deep Below
Rotterdam 80s sounding post-punk. Think this is their 4th album.

Alice Sara Ott - John Field · Complete Nocturnes
Classical solo piano. John Field was a virtuoso pianist from Dublin in the 18th/19th centuries who became known as the “father of the nocturne”. Alice Sara Ott, the German-Japanese pianist, performs Field’s largely neglected nocturnes on this Deutsche Grammophon album.
Ali Omar - Hashish Hits
Posthumous collection of the 90s/00s Liverpool-born and Sydney-based producer’s louche dub techno.
Hugo Randulv - Drunkna I Ljus
Two long pieces of cello and electronic drone from Gothenburg. I don’t always go for stuff like this, but for whatever reason this drew me in.
