Week 39 has got us all giddy (especially Connor!)

Richard Dawson
The Ruby Cord
Weird World

Weird World presents another otherworldly but remarkably grounded outing from folk troubadour Richard Dawson. Closing out a trilogy that started with Peasant in the past, 2020 in the contemporary and now The Ruby Cord in a troubled and murky future. With a 41 minute opener and the album being Produced by longtime collaborator and Pigs x7 alumn Sam Grant, it’s absolutely not one to miss. (Signed Connor - aka Richard Dawson’s biggest fan).




the GOLDEN DREGS
On Grace & Dignity
4AD

4AD welcomes songwriter and producer Benjamin Woods and his project, the Golden Dregs, to the roster with On Grace & Dignity, a record about our neighbouring Kernow. Really great songwriting and such a unique voice.




Wand
Spiders in the Rain
Drag City

A live album from Cory Hanson-fronted LA-based psychedelic rock band, Wand. Such a great band, and a hell of a live band, too! We really do love these guys. Check out the set below!




Heather Trost
Desert Flowers
Ba Da Bing!

Another superb psyche-tinged-folk offering from Albuquerque-based singer-songwriter Heather Trost. Really lush - PLUS the opening song is titled “Frog and Toad are Friends” so… you know it’s a keeper.




Nyx Nott
Themes From…
Melodic

Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap delivers some exquisite library-inspired music on Themes From… a collection of songs from imaginary films. Really cool. 




The Bug Club
Green Dream in F#
Bingo Records

A huge, 14-track opus from Welsh indie band, The Bug Club; flirting with themes of dada and asking the big questions like "What the fuck IS art? Can dogs do it?”... You can maybe find out by buying the album...




BABii
SCREAMER
