Steve Mason - Meet The Humans (2016)

As with all of the Beta Band releases, Steve Mason’s song writing and mastery of the pop hook continues. This is a meandering beauty that just creeps along dragging you along with it.

Cornelius - Sensurround (2008)

Is this the best sounding 5.1 DTS recording on the planet? This little chunk of plastic rendered by my player and theatre system/amplifier in glorious surround sound certainly warrants that tag.

The The - Soul Mining (1983)

Deluxe Vinyl Box Set I bought this big box of vinyl back from Old Blighty and dodged an overweight luggage penalty by a few grams.

Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate (2016)

Brilliant second outing for this London born Ugandan. I saw a lot of references to this while in London, so had to bring this home.

Temples - Sun Structures (2014)

Brilliant debut from 4 Kettering lads. Along with Tame Impala, who springs to mind immediately, these neo-retro specialists are stuck in a mid to late 60’s time warp.

Assoicates - Sulk (1982)

Billie Mackenzie had one of the most distinctive and extraordinary voices in pop/rock history. He eventually met a tragic, self-inflicted demise despite being an exceptional but underappreciated talent.

Polica - United Crushers (2016)

On pink vinyl. I can honestly say that no one makes music quite like Polica. It is however, a band that gets right inside my brain and like any mind altering phenomena, I just want more but I’m not sure why?

Grouplove - Big Mess (2016)

I didn’t know much about this LA group before impulsively booking a ticket to see them play at the Electric Ballroom in Camden.

Shellac - Dude Incredible (2014)

This is just an earthy, no frills, 3 piece (including the legendary Steve Albini) making another great racket. Probably the antithesis of the previous Grouplove session.
