Everything from psychotically loud to soothing Latin fusion. It's a good set, folks.
A couple of huge, chart-hungry returns this week, but it has to be said, we've been really loving the less shouted-about releases; especially Gnod and Market. Take a dive through the week's new listings.
Gnod
Hexen Valley
Rocket Recordings
A slightly updated iteration of Gnod in full-flight. Dark and dangerous, amazing first video too.

The psychedelic return of NYC three-piece Sunflower Bean. Expect to hear a lot of this, very limited pressing (so you know).
Everything Everything
Raw Data Feel
AWAL
Absolutely frenetic post-pop from the Manchester band.
Market
The Consistent Brutal Bullshit Gong

A debut we're excited about. Homespun DIY pop via experimentalism.

Jagjaguwar
New LP from the Wisconsin-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Sean Carey.
Maria BC
Hyaline
Fear of Missing Out Records
Debut album from Ohio-born, Oakland, CA based artist and songwriter. Lush production, so dreamy.
