Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (2000)

Wow! This ain’t rock’n’roll, this is an electro-cabaret masterpiece. Tricky prodigy Alison Goldfrapp, croons like Liza Minelli, yodels like Melanie Oesch, and whistles like Roger Whitaker.

Kirsten Edkins - Art & Soul (2015)

I didn’t know anything about this recording before playing this via Tidal this evening. As the reveiw states “Saxophonist Kirsten Edkins delivers a delightful and charming batch of mainstream jazz with her engaging and exuberant debut Art & Soul.

Elton John - Honky Chateau (1973)

For various reasons, I felt a little nostalgic this evening. Before Bowie and T-Rex came along, Elton was my goto artist.

Asobi Seksu - Asobi Seksu (2007)

Fantastic debut from New York-based group Asobi Seksu. While firmly in the noise rock genre, it’s fabulously diverse throughout. On the very first listen there’s a lot to like about this record.

Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People (2003)

It’s March already. Let’s kick things off with this magnificent beast. No vocals to get in the way just their majestic soundtrack.

Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World (2023)

This record is so refreshingly old school. Like similarly discordant outliers, Sonic Youth, it’s a messy, chunky but palatable goulash.

Lord Huron - Strange Trails (2015)

A very easy choice tonight. When you are out walking and the dog makes a bee line for a young American woman wearing a Lord Huron “Long Lost” T Shirt, there’s a clear message there.

Luluc - Sculptor (2018)

Here’s yet another fantastic band from Melbourne. Several recent favourites of the last few years have come from this town. Duo Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett have breached their folky ways and delivered a rich, cinematic experience far removed from the traditional acoustic fare.
