Greg Foat - The Rituals of Infinity
Super prolific jazz keyboard player with another set. Not sure who plays with him on this one yet, but expect beach bar style Balearic jazz.
Claire Rousay - The Bloody Lady
New soundtrack composed for a screening of Viktor Kubalās 1980 animated film.
Perila - Intrinsic Rhythm
From Boomkat: Intrinsic Rhythmā is a 21-track set of languid, intimate experiments that balance her inner world with a slowly shifting outer reality, curling poetic tape studies into rippling rhythmic vignettes and ghostly choral motifs.
I donāt really know what that means, but Iāll be giving it a listen.

Chromesthesia: the Colour of Sound Vol. 1
Various Artists
The first in a series of albums from a project led by a British-Egyptian historian that āprobes the audiopolitics of diaspora, tracking soundscapes of errantry and migration along 20 sites of The Whole Mangrove Worldā. Now that might sound a lot like someone elseās homework, but this is very much through a lens of cutting edge afro-adjacent experimental and electronic music - artists on this first volume include Deena Abdelwahed, Lamin Fofana, LYZZA, Kelman Duran, GAIKA, Asher Gamedze and Nick LeĆ³n.

Good Sad Happy Bad - All Kinds of Days
Art pop. CJ Calderwood, Marc Pell, Mica Levi and Raisa Khanās second album as Good Sad Happy Bad (they were previously Micachu & The Shapes).
āThe album navigates themes of loss, grief, recovery, healing, home building and parenthood with an unsettling sonic palette of spidery guitar riffs, haunted woodwind and hoarse electronics in disguise as pop songs and held together by a core of driving drums and deceptively complex melody.ā

Eat-girls - Area Silenzio
French trioās debut album is āa collection of electronic madrigals, groove-driven songs played on a mischievous multi-speed Victrola, ranging from languid dub drips to full-on drum machine cavalcadesā. I really like the three pre-release tracks Iāve heard.

Baba Zula - İstanbul Sokakları
Turkish experimental psych-rock.
āSince first coming together in Istanbul in 1996, BaBa ZuLa have specialised in transporting, psychedelic jams that incorporate electronic sounds, deep beats and supremely heavy dub vibrations, while sitting firmly within a distinctly Turkish sound. Percussion instruments such as the clopping darbuka drum and clattering kaÅıklar spoons summon traditional folk-dance rhythms, while Ertelās electrified saz conjures profound Anatolian moods with a modern, amplified twistā.
