It's week FORTY; 2023 is well and truly on the horizon and it's looking pretty darn good! Let's have a look..

Baby Cool
Earthling On The Road To Self Love
Bad Vibrations Records

Hazy soft-psych that hits just right; this is one of the finest debuts we’ve heard for a while. This is REALLY cool! So stoked to be able to offer such a lush Dinked package on pink and blue splatter vinyl too. Be quick




Sweet Baboo
The Wreckage
Amazing Tapes From Canton

Cardiff-based songwriter and all-round great guy Stephen Black - aka Sweet Baboo - returns for his eighth full-length record. Warm, weird and really beautiful. This couldn't be more up our street.




CVC
Get Real
CVC Recordings

Another shout from Cardiff here with CVC (Church Village Collective) with their enthralling, long-awaited debut record, Get Real. Some proper grooves in here and a great wardrobe, too. 




Ghost Woman
Anne, If
Full Time Hobby

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Uschenko and band return with their second record as Ghost Woman. Nailing that late 60s sound - it really does sound like a psyche-relic from that era. COOL!




The Arcs
Electrophonic Chronic
Concord

Dan Auerbach and Co. return with Electrophonic Chronic, tracks taken from the same sessions as their debut record; further immortalising the late great Richard Swift. This is really lush, and such a touching tribute to an amazing artist.




Dougie Poole
The Rainbow Wheel of Death
Wharf Cat Records

Dougie Poole’s third solo record is fantastically named The Rainbow Wheel of Death. It has such a great energy and a timeless feel - really nice!

Incoming reissues: Masahiko Togashi, Don Cherry and Charlie Haden; James Brown; Roy Brooks; Alice Coltrane; Mel Brown; T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo; Shiho Yabuki; Uniform & The Body; John Carpenter; Pharmakon; and a Beat Happening sextuple.
