Black Box Recorder - The Facts Of Life (2000)

Wonderful turn-of-the-millennium expose on British life by auteur Luke Haines and co. How can you not like a song about the English motorway system?

Implosion - Implosion 2020 (2020)

Obscure yet outstanding 80’s Italian outfit that only ever released one solitary, self-titled album back in 1988. This FANTASTIC 2020 Record Store Day record contains 16 previously unreleased tracks from other recordings done between 1983 and 1989.

Pylon - Razz Tape (1979)

This cracker of a live session was captured on primitive recording equipment solely for the purposes of garnering interest for potential employment around the local clubs of Athens, Georgia.

Beak> - >>> (2018)

Strangeness personified. Intentionally radio unfriendly, Krautrock(y), squelchy, stoner prog. Perfect as a formulaic, poser-pop fly spray, this little gem completely tears up the rule book.

The 40 Watt Banana - Peeled (2019)

Kae Tempest - The Line Is A Curve (2022)

Usually I’m not overly bothered with a poet or spoken word artist and wouldn’t necessarily cross the street to involve myself.

Houeida Hedfi - Fleuves De L'âme (2021)

This is beyond categorisation, it just “is”. Without deconstructing things too much, this wonderful recording by Tunisian multi-instrumentalist Houeida Hedfi, combines traditional folk music with an extraordinary array of contemporary genres.

Ghost Power (2022)

This all instrumental, trance-inducing long player from Stereolab’s Tim Gane, while not far removed from the Labs mesmeric soundscapes, is sans his dirty old, reverb-rich, overdriven Jaguar and replaced with an all analogue, knob-twiddling, (over)indulgence.

Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia (2022)

Big, brooding third record from collusive, fellow Dublin City Music College graduates now full time residents of London. They’ve done alright - three shit hot albums in as many years and a bunch of hooky foot stompers.
