Nov 1 - Nov 17 listening

Dead Moon - In the Graveyard (1988) - “An authentic mix of psychedelic rock, punk, blues, country, & every other American music worth a damn.”
The Left Outsides - The Third Light (2013) - “atmospheric, hypnotic songs echo Nico's icy European folk, pastoral psychedelia and chilly English fields at dawn.”

Datblygu - Porwr Trallod (2015) - “The delightfully titled ‘llawenydd diweithdra’ (The Joy of Unemployment) sounds like Delia Derbyshire discussing current affairs with Metal Mickey in a washing machine.”


Wolfgang Riechmann - Wunderbar (1978) - “If you like Man Machine era Kraftwerk then you'll love this. Wolfgang looks extremely cool on the cover despite wearing blue lipstick.”


Hiroshi Yoshimura - Music For Nine Post Cards (1982) - “Inspired by a series of window views, Japanese ambient pioneer Hiroshi Yoshimura’s 1982 album... has a disarming presence, cutting sweetly into the listener’s reality.”

Four Tet - New Energy (2017) - 'hippy-ish sensibility' - Financial Times

Macintosh Plus - Floral Shoppe (2011) - “the sound of a kind of sensuous virtuality, the artist as simulacra, both the experience and problematization of the post-human, a new cyber-pop unconscious.”

Beck - Colors (2017) - “his most overtly pop record, one filled with sunshine and sadness, but feels connected to little more than a good idea.”

Baxter Dury - Prince of Tears (2017) - “The different characters Baxter inhabits throughout the album are all anti-social, isolated, maudlin and incredibly, incredibly foul-mouthed”

Jr & His Soulettes – Psychodelic Sounds (1971) - “10-year old Harold Moore Jr and his three younger sisters deliver souped-up strip joint soul from Oklahoma City.”  Start Price: USD 1500

King Krule - The OOZ (2017) - “a wilfully idiosyncratic outpouring of songs about depression and bodily fluids”

John Bender - I Don’t Remember Now (1980) - “the holy grail of minimal lo-fi electronics. Layers of fractured melodies, distorted synthesizers, hollowed-out rhythms and claustrophobic vocals unfold …”

Spinning Coin - Permo (2017) - “The band match skuzzy, barbed wire indie pop riffs to lyrics that detail a crumbling society”

Here Lies Man - Here Lies Man (2017) - “Who thought heavy metal and Afro Beat could sound so good together?”

Childhood - Universal High (2017) - “British indie rock band influenced by 1970s soul music”

Wand - Golem (2015) - “draws from the old-school prog/psych sourcebook”

Wand - 1000 Days (2015) - “a giddily eccentric piece of contemporary rock and roll”

Daniel Patrick Quinn - Acting The Rubber Pig Redux (2014) - “our best bet for a next-generation British cult figure likely to continue surprising us in 10, even 20, years”

Le Forte Four - Bikini Tennis Shoes (1975) - “Its 40 tracks (many under 30 seconds) veer from electronic experimentation and media manipulation to plain goofing off. Wild, ramshackle and unique.”

Kamasi Washington - Harmony of Difference (2017) - “displays a tireless ambition with his compositions, performance, and spiritual approach”

10 Aug - 31 Aug 2018

BC Camplight - Deportation Blues (2018) - "a peephole into the angst, pain, stress and turbulence of relocation, placelessness and a cl...
