Icky Blossoms - Mask (2015)

These Nebraskins are clearly locked inside a mid-80’s time warp. There’s lots of electronic noodling, trance-like ridums and some ever so pleasingly analogue synths at play.

The Only Ones - Baby's Got A Gun (1980)

A criminally underappreciated band that I simply couldn’t (perhaps can’t) get enough of. Peter Perrett’s fragile, vulnerable, between-keys voice is stunningly authentic and matched for uniqueness and virtuosity by John Perry’s amazing fret work.

Ryan Adams - Prisoner (2017)

I’ll be honest, I’m really not sure if I like this or not? As I’ve always proclaimed I’m not really a lyrics man.

Nitin Sawhney - Dystopian Dream (2015)

Nitin Sawhney’s first record, which I encountered at the end of last century, was a game changer for me. Jeff Beck covered the track “Nadia” from that album a year or two later and it was soon after this that I joined the “ Shut Up and Listen ” group on the strength of that one song.

Gaz Coombes - World's Strongest Man [Tidal] (2018)

This is another recently discovered gem of an album on my Tidal play list. Another great road album that made my journey back from Goblin Bay not long enough.

White Denim - Stiff (2016)

Throw a bit of Lizzy, Skynyrd and some James Brown in the mix and this is what you get. It’s a crazy mélange but these Texans really make it work.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)

Syd gets his obligatory annual outing. I never tire of this. Ok, it’s “Dad Rock” but if you can’t appreciate this as a stone cold classic, you are musically brain dead.

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us (2005)

I didn’t see this coming at all. On first encounter this was totally unexpected. For some reason I had previously assumed M83 was some lo-fi, punky angst band from France and had always thought their acclaimed album “Dead Cities, Red Seas…” was some sort of Green Day/angry band revamp.

Emile Haynie - We Fall (2015)

I spilt my coffee all over my desk at work and into my back pack this black Friday morning. Coincidence, not really - shit happens sometimes and I was a fuck wit for being so careless.
