I know that we said it the other week, but actually this week’s new releases are the most insanely stacked set in an age.

Our Record of the Week is Endlessness, the absolutely sublime second LP from jazz visionary, Nala Sinephro. Whereas her brilliant Space 1.8 debut was about tightly wound minimalism, her new Endlessness is an expansive cosmic cycle, with a continuous arpeggio playing throughout. Ten flowing parts titled Continuum that honestly creates a world. Featuring contributions from James Mollison (Ezra Collective), Morgan Simpson (black midi), Sheila Maurice-Grey (Kokoroko), Nubya Garcia, Lyle Barton, Natcyet Wakili (Sons of Kemet) and Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic), this is such a stunning record.

+ Limited double Black vinyl with an etched D-Side.

We had two new Dinked announcements this week with Moin and Brooke Combe, and we also have two new arrivals in the racks this Friday with big hitters from Mercury Rev and Fat Dog.

Born Horses is quite the swooner. A grown up Mercury Rev dropping little Mercury Rev-shaped shimmers and finding a new sort of serenity too. A lovely pace.

WOOF. is the debut LP from London experimental band Fat Dog. Absolute drenched in big dance energy with delicious detours into a wide range of styles and tones. So weird it works and overall just super good fun.
Migratory is the latest LP from Japanese vibraphonist and marimba player Masayoshi Fujita and it really is sublime. Composed in the midst of nature (the mountain hills along the coast of Kami-cho, Hyōgo) it actually is even more organic and human sounding than his previous releases. Delicate without lacking intent, got a feeling we’ll be playing this a lot.

+ Available on Exclusive Clear colour vinyl.

Viva Hinds is the fourth LP from Madrid indie rockers Hinds and it is another of the week’s high energy treats. Way more pop than before, but gloriously so. It’s just loads of fun as they swagger along with ear worm riffs and big hooks. Features guest appearances from Beck and Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten too.

+ Available on limited and exclusive Magenta in Clear colour vinyl.

Dark clouds gather… It's the return of Belarusian post-punk / synth pop group Molchat Doma! Belaya Polosa is surprisingly way less sombre than the albums that precede it. I mean, they are still pretty dark, but the tones actually have quite a bit more dynasim as they move through the registers. They ain’t resting on their laurels.

+ Available on Exclusive Cloudy Clear colour vinyl.
+ We have signed prints.

In a week of really lush sounds, you absolutely can not miss out on Moon in Gemini from Isik Kural. It might sound like a weird compliment, but it is actually so beautiful that it made me quite sad. Beautiful floating and fragile composition like day dreams. Special stuff.
The most-excellent Dummy return this week with Free Energy and it is really rousing stuff. Ever more synth heavy, the drum machines click against the MBV-esque layers and swirls. We really like this band, but this one really is a joy. Euphoria in fact.

+ Inverted Hyperspace Splatter colour vinyl.

Low End Love Songs is the new LP from balaclava’d soul man, Pale Jay. The production is superb, restrained but also full of lush details. It’s the voice though, and man, it really is a voice. It all sounds amazing, but it’s all the little nuances that have kept us going back in. Great stuff.

+ Available on limited Storm Cloud Grey colour vinyl.

The Breaks is the latest evolution of Montreal band SUUNS and it’s really good. Full of bleeping noises and dark churning timbres. Has quite a filmic quality to it, downbeat without necessarily being dismal.

+ Available on Transparent Red colour vinyl.

Talking Through Repetition is a live collection from The Psychotic Monks and it really shows off their live flex. Hard and loud, it’s really quite the listen.

You know how much we like Chris Forsyth? Well, good news for us and you too if you have any sense as he has forged with Nick Millevoi and Mikel Patrick Avery to form BASIC. We have actually only managed to stick This Is BASIC on twice now, but we liked it more and more and although there are loads of nods to other things, it actually doesn't sound much like anything else. Knotty, hypnotic, swirling and evolving. Bloody great!
Also this week; Hole Erth, Chaz Bear’s eighth full-length studio record as Toro y Moi. We have exclusive pressings and signed bits. In A Landscape is the new LP from pianist and composer Max Richter. Ensoulment is the first studio album in 24 years from storied post-punks, The The. Fade In is the debut from Three Quarter Skies, a new band formed by Simon Scott from Slowdive. The Rituals is the latest long player from Bristolian jazz vanguard, Ishmael Ensemble. A change of pace.

Lastly this week, an absolute riot of an album from Sydney duo Party Dozen. Crime In Australia is so abrasive, it’s such a threatening set of no-wave bangers. As ever, we also have to mention that they make a hell of a sound for two. Drums that stick in your throat, a warping and totally deranged saxophone that sounds like it’s being slowly melted, and a piano hit so hard it sounds like someone should be serving time. Then it just becomes shoegaze for a minute. Wild. It properly sounds like they just did entirely what they wanted and it is honestly such a baller as a result of it.

+ Available on Limited Opaque Blue colour vinyl.
