Some classic vibes, nicely done. To drop a release on Christmas day is brave/stupid, but being as it sold 500+ copies I guess he knows what he’s doing - that’s a serious fanbase!
Killer releases are still thin on the ground but here’s a few of January’s better ones - mostly ambient. The release calendar is starting to fill though so hold tight!
I also got my finger out and did the first radio show of '23:
The Max Würden LP is beautiful.
A few more preview tracks from this new Urbs album have been made available - many of you are going to love this.
Still finding it slower on the release front than previous years, here’s my fave from the recent finds:
Psychedelic global fusion:
Moving, neoclassical disgust at Canada’s Tar Sands project (Full Disclouse - on the TSMM label?
The full horizontal ambient:
Shameless playlist plug for the etheral house heads:
New Khotin dropped today and is extra lovely even by his own dreamy standards
5 hours of LUSH. I swear this man was born with liquid MDMA for blood.
That sounds amazing.
On my third listen of this and i’m in love with tracks 6, 8 and 11.
Struggling to categorise this album but decided to give it a go following a New Commute tip-off. Lovely hazy pop experiments incorporating natural, ambient, dubby elements. Recommended for something a little different.
Listening now. Dig!
Words cannot describe how much I love Payfone
Thats really good
he lives down the road from me but I never see him! he was moaning last year that the Spanish promoters always want him to bang it but that’s not what he’s about.
Good old New Commute - such a great source of music tips!
He always delivers, I just wish he’d put more music out!
Been mad busy this year with life but thought I’d pop in with a few recent faves if you’re not following the blog:
Four for the guitar crew:
A few random odds and sods:
Can’t believe I’d never heard of this Bristol dub bloke before - proper!
Oh year I kicked off a new playlist for any old punky types and anyone who likes a bit of post punk, New/No wave type vibe…
Really enjoyed that Sluice album. Great sounds.
I never really took much notice of Kid Fonque but he’s popping up on alot of stuff I listen to, he’s having a good year…
