Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains (2019

This first (and unfortunately last) record by Silver Jews leader, David Berman, has made many a “best albums of 2019” list but to be honest, I never gave it a chance.

Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (1997)

I didn’t always “get” Jason Peirce’s Spiritualized or Spacemen 3 back in the 80’s and 90’s. It just seemed so last century!

Wooden Shjips - Back To Land (2013)

The only problem with this record is that each of the 8 tracks, with an average length of just over 5 minutes, just aren’t long enough.

Son Lux - Brighter Wounds (2018)

I hate always playing it safe with music and this certainly takes me well out of my comfort zone. And this record which I’m listening to for the first time since picking it out of a bargain bin, does so in such a welcome and refreshing way.

Morphine - Cure For Pain (1993)

This Boston three piece make quite the racket, albeit a beautiful one - and it’s all done on a two string slide bass, saxophone and drums.
