Caribou - Up In Flames (2003)

I just loved Dan Snaith’s (Caribou’s sole band member) 2014 record “Our Love” so I couldn’t resist picking up this 2021 repress from a decade earlier.

King Hannah - Tell Me Your Mind And I'll Tell You Mine (2020)

I’ve been listening to this wonderful EP on repeat via streaming services over the last couple of weeks. I just can’t get enough of it.

Aldous Harding - Warm Chris (2022)

First listen to this brand new release hot off the record press. What is truly remarkable is just how unique this long player sounds.

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson (1971)

I recently found a copy of this absolute masterpiece on vinyl during my recent travels. It’s a 2009 USA pressing produced by USA label “Light In The Attic Records”.

Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche 85 (1985)

Lush is the word that sums up this wonderful mid-80s record. It’s also up and over the brim with charm. A bit dated could also apply but the song-writing and impeccable production make up for any deep dive into that discussion.

Snooch Dodd And The Pro-Teens - I Flip My Life Every Time I Fly (2021)

This Melbourne outfit is another great discovery of late. Really hard to pigeon hole into any genre. As it says on the hype sticker “…this is inspired by funk, library music, cinematic scores, soul, psych-folk-rock and wonky synths.

Ragnarok - Ragnarok (1975)

I may or may not have seen Ragnarok at the Racecourse Hotel, Hastings as a highschool lad back in the day.

Garageland - Last Exit To Garageland (1997)

To these ears this is one of the best records that Pavement didn’t make. While you could say that the Flying Nun label mates of this Auckland-based outfit taught the Paves a thing or two, this group are just as effective at playing sloppy, effortless and slightly off kilter pop music like the big boys of the era.

The Gluts - Dengue Fever Hypnotic Trip (2019)

I took a bit of a gamble with my record buying this evening. It’s becoming a bit of a habit lately, buying stuff I know nothing about.

Black Mountain - Destroyer (2019)

When these Canadian Space Rock Psych Warriors put any record out, you know it’s always a wall to wall riff fest.
