THESE PRE ORDERS ARE SCARILY GOOD...
Leland Whitty
Anyhow
Innovative Leisure
Saxophone-wizard Leland Whitty (of BADBADNOTGOOD) has absolutely knocked it out of the park with Anyhow; his first solo record under his own name. Blending elements of cinematic jazz and rock to near perfection. Honestly, this is HUGE!
Kayla Painter
Infinite You
Castles in Spaces
I mentioned this briefly in last week’s rundown but it deserves attention! This is an outstanding vinyl debut for Bristol-based sonic explorer Kayla Painter. Sci-fi infused electronics meets expertly-textured ambient music; most highly recommend.
Andrew Wasylyk
Hearing The Water Before Seeing The Falls
Clay Pipe Music
Scottish composer and songwriter Andrew Wasylyk follows up on last year's SAMA-nominated Balgay Hill Morning in Magnolia (this has an almost permanent spot on my player btw) with Hearing The Water Before Seeing The Falls; another sublime LP further showcasing just how undeniably great he is.
Maps
Counter Melodies
Mute
Mercury-nominated artist Maps - aka James Chapman - returns on Mute for his fifth LP. Such a refreshingly uplifting energy to this one; with some really cool sound design bubbling under the surface.
Algiers
Shook
Matador
Featuring an impressive list of collaborators and guests, Shook marks their fourth full-length on Matador with their distinctive and peculiar experimental sound that needs a Venn diagram to fully explain - In other words, IT’S COOL.
The Men
New York City
Fuzz Club
This is sure to get you PUMPED UP for the weekend. Primitive, scuzzy and coarse in all the right places.
Also announced this week: Nathan Salsburg; Philip Selway (of Radiohead); The Tubs; Fucked Up; Quasi; Amber Arcades; and Trevor Beales.
Incoming reissues: Black Lips; Frank Zappa; Vince Guaraldi Trio; Gavin Bryars; Tonio Rubio; Midori Takada; and Sigur Ros.
