The good stuff just keeps on comin'!

Faten Kanaan
Afterpoem
Fire Records

Brooklyn-based musician, composer and producer Faten Kanaan arrives for her fifth LP, Afterpoem - perhaps her most considered record so far. Thirteen affecting tracks of deeply melodic and spacious music. It’s LUSH.




Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
Land Of Sleeper
Rocket Recordings

THIS IS NOT A DRILL… THE SEVEN PIGS ARE BACK! SOMEBODY TELL THE FARMER!

(Obviously this is just outrageously good).




mui zyu
Rotten Bun for Eggless Century
Father Daughter

Following up from an impressive set of EPs we have the debut LP from Hong Kong British artist mui zyu - aka Eva Liu. Rotten Bun for Eggless Century (amazing title btw) is just full of wonkily hypnotic pop songs that are such a joy to hear.




Spencer Cullum
Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection 2
Full Time Hobby

An expansive second instalment of uplifting folk songs from pedal steel extraordinaire, Spencer Cullum. Much like it’s 2021s predecessor, there’s such a timeless energy to this; lots of subtle 70s inspired instrumentation and production that really shines through - big time recommend SC to fans of Nick Drake; Hunky Dory-era Bowie and Syd Barrett.




Yo La Tengo
This Stupid World
Matador

Yo La Tengo return with one of their most live-sounding records EVER. There is such an honest spirit to these songs - ones I am sure we’ll be visiting time and time again on the Drift stereo.




Sidney Sager & The Ambrosian Singers
Children of the Stones [Original TV Music]
Trunk

If you grew up in the early 80s you may remember ITVs Children of the Stones, a kids show with music that was once described as 'the most inappropriate theme music ever used for a children's series'. It’s actually amazing. Haunting, yes - and weird! - but also free and really quite moving when the dissonant choir find moments of harmony.




Miss Grit
Follow The Cyborg
Mute

Follow the Cyborg is the electrifyingly debut album from Korean-American musician and Mute’s newest signing Miss Grit. Maximalist sci-pop at its very best!




Manu Dibango
African Voodoo
Soul Makossa

One I am well hyped for. Recorded over three days - and mostly improvised - in 1971 for French TV and radio shows seeking background music - how this was never made available for sale is beyond us all… It’s just incredible!




Phoenix
Alpha Zulu
Glassnote

French art-pop band Phoenix announce their seventh studio record, Alpha Zulu, inspired by and recorded at the Louvre museum. Such great energy and tracks that will undoubtedly be in your head for days. Totally love the video too!




Also announced this week: Let’s Eat Grandma; Taken By Trees; MOLLY; Louis VI; dEUS; and H.C. McEntire

Reissues from: Mogwai; Alabama Shakes; Arthur Russell; IDLES; Hiatus Kaiyote; Love & Rockets; and Portico Quartet.
