Fire! Orchestra - Echoes (2023)

Holy cow! This monster is quite something else. While I don’t dig the more chaotic avant guarde elements, there are some simply stunning arrangements and performances.

Mako Road - The Great Superintendent {EP} (2018)

As Kiwi as Bro! This is a sensational six track EP release from Christchurch-based Mako Road. I first heard this on “A Sonic Youth” podcast (my firm favourite for better-than-decent new and re-discovered music) A band that has truly flown under the radar.

Bill Callahan - Dream River (2013)

Everything about Mr. Prolific here, and even more so since the demise of former band Smog, is the richness of his ever maturing voice, along with the power of his story telling.

Ioapok - Oisolün (2023)

Quite a strange trip this evening. This French outfit play a progressive type of jazz and rock music. Listening ecxlusively on headphones and DAC, its quite an emersive experiece.

Tiny Ruins - Ceremony (2023)

I just love it when you can hear the strings rattle on the frets and actually feel the reach of the singer’s breath.

Sublime - Sublime (1996)

I know absolutely nothing about Sublime. I always thought they were just another stoner, spliff-toting, skateboard pretenders. How wrong was I.

Mogwai - As The Love Continues (2022)

I’ve held back long enough. This is the moment to finally release the Glaswegian beast. This has been tucked away, unplayed, to allay my expectant disappointment.

Hole - Celebrity Skin (1998)

Hole’s second record, 1994’s “Live Through This” remains one of my top album contenders across any genre. While it’s peak grunge, it still has one of the highest, and surely not legal, quotas of hooks possible on a single record.
