Nocturnal Projections - Complete Studio Recordings (1983)

While a truly miserable record and definitely of its time, this relic of the early 80’s is the antithesis of much of todays formulaic garbage.

Luna - A Sentimental Education (2017)

This is the first Luna release in quite some years. (well 13 years if you want to be more precise). Kiwi Dean Wareham’s droll deliver is just perfect as I prepare our “Hello Fresh” construction this evening.

Haim - Women In Music Pt.III (2020)

This sprawling, hooks-heavy third release from the Haim sisters is also sonically magnificent. As with the first two vinyl releases it’s mastered at 45rpm.

Suede - The Blue Hour (2018)

Brett Anderson’s voice is the main instrument I crave for when listening to any Suede record and this is especially the case with his more mellow solo records.

Giant Sand - Ramp (1991)

This raunchy grungy even, country-punk recording from the early 90s contains not one but two future Calexico members, Joey Burns and John Convertino.

The Besnard Lakes - Are The Last Of The Great Thunderstorm Warnings (2021)

This record is both epic in title and epic in the magnitude of its musical journey. It all starts off with a bit of a whimper but quickly imposes itself as the dense wall of sound engulfs everything.

Porridge Radio - Every Bad (2020)

Another great Easter Weekend purchase while over in the windy city. This is Porridge Radio’s second record and their first “proper” big label release.

tUnE-yArDs - Sketchy (2021)

One of several vinyl purchases picked up over Easter Weekend in Wellington was this little gem from New York duo Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner.

Outkast - Speakerboxxx (2003)

I’m listening to part one of Big Boi and Andre 3000’s split-duties-opus “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” this evening - and loving every minute of it.

Moon Duo - Escape (Expanded Edition)(2010)

Holy fuck this is wonderfully intense. If you can’t handle relentless wall-to-wall jamming look elsewhere. If you’re in the mood for mind expansion and turning your brain to mush, you’ve come to the right place.
