Newdad are brilliant got to see them play before the lockdown. Really good, I’m not a fountains fan don’t really get them saw them play twice a bit forsed and fake for me. The Murder Capital and Pillow Queens are worth checking out. Both Irish bands.

The new Andy Stott that dropped yesterday is lovely downtempo stuff

I only just found out about this girl, and her first album completely floored me. Like a mix of Laurel Canyon folk with Rodriguez, Leonard Cohen and something else I can’t really put my finger on other than to say I like it very much. What a voice. This NPR performance is fantastic (as they all are) but I do recommend searching out for the albums, particularly her first, self-titled one.

She’s a soulful folky gem 
Like the sound of that, nice twist and lightness of touch and vibes
Some classic throwback vibes, but what isn’t these days, and who cares when it’s done this well?
That’s definitely a bit of me at the moment, nice one
Stott never puts a foot wrong. Interesting to hear him incorporate vocals into this one. Is it just me or does anyone else thing this dude keeps looking like he’s going to hangi himself? Maybe it’s the bleached line of hair around his neck that looks like a rope? If it’s just me I’ll book a session with a psychiatrist
Somewhere far far way on a little known moon, there is a New Age(less) commune & zero gravity spa that regenerates the dying cells of the visiting creatures lucky enough to know of its existence, & where this new LP from J Foerster & N Kramer for Leaving Records is on infinite loop.
There’s a fragile beauty to the pained and haunted vocals of Dave Anderson that thread their way through the more substantial, ever inventive string work of Seabuckthorn in Mt Went’s low lit, gloomy alt-folk outpouring on Lost Tribe Sound.
With dance music neither in demand or even making much sense the last year, this happy middle ground of ambient enriched New Age vibes & toned down club constructs from Facta for his Wisdom Teeth label teases the prospect of dancing to music again, whilst providing a gently propulsive soundtrack to incremental freedom & life’s new norms.
Say hello to the “art punk” of the good ship H.M.S. RMA and its motley sonic sailors. They do whatever the hell they want with healthy slices of post punk funkiness, club culture nods and wayward whimsy thrown into the galley’s mixer.

Generally on a dance tip and well recommended:
Waking in a sweat, crazed by dreams of the distant days of dance, @yoshinori_h leapt into the studio & manically pieced together the remembered fragments of his restless night before they slipped from his mind forever. Dig deep into your muscle memory & start the week moving to the dream state sounds, forgotten rhythms & free spirited flow of his new LP for @smalltownsupersound.
