Are you just picking them out of the thread, Neil? or would you prefer we slide into your DMs?

Either or, is fine by me.

Really enjoyed this – you’re right, there’s something compositiionally that makes it much more interesting than it sounds on paper. I found myself listening to Below Sea Level a lot during the first lockdown so nice to get this new one now.

Who’s this by. Sounds good! Like the depth and atonal nature.

Love that Alison Cotton record. Just ace stuff. Ridiculous number of superb releases this year. Perhaps one of the very small number of positives of 2020!
