The liminanas - I’ve Got Trouble In Mind [Vol.2](2018)

Another fabulous compilation from French couple, Marie and Lionel Liminana (with a bit of help from a myriad of others).This is their second collection in two years.

El Michels Affair Meets Liam Bailey - Ekundayo Inversions (2021)

Brilliant remix/dubbed up version of Liam Bailey’s “Ekundayo” album - which I listened to just the other day. Every day I ask the question, “where has all of this wonderful music been all of my life”.

Kimbra - Vows (2011)

Hamilton-born, Kimbra Johnson is really hard to categorise. There’s simply no doubt about it though, she’s one hell of a talent.

Liam Bailey - Ekundayo (2020)

Another deep dive into a rabbit hole for me of late as I take several forays into the world of Jamaican-influenced music.

Mew - Plus Minus (2017)

This Danish band is just extraordinary. Their record, 2005’s “And the Glass Handed Kites” is an epic masterpiece that demands at least a yearly, uninterrupted aural immersion.

The Black Angels - Clear Lake Forest (2014)

This slightly warped EP (literally and figuratively - physically, its a bit on the bendy side) from Texans “The Black Angels” sounds like it really shouldn’t work at all and at times it’s just way off being pleasant.

The Whit Boyd Combo - Party Girls Original Soundtrack (2020)

An Organ Grindin’ Funky Good Time soundtrack from 1969’s “Party Girls” a long lost (probably for the best) low budget sleaze fest.

La Luz - La Luz (2021)

I LOVED La Luz’s last record, 2018’s “Floating Features”, but while pleasant enough, this new album has upped the production levels and sanded off those rough edges I loved on the previous one.

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House (2006)

Progressive folk at its finest. Don’t expect any real song structure, just one long, meandering, multilayered, highly complex, electro-acoustic folk jam.
