The release by that guy I keep coming back to is this one:

I like it a lot more than either the Pendant or Huerco S albums. It does all sound kinda retro to me, which perhaps is partly what he means about “renewed interest into a genre”?

Love this record so much - I really dig the weird lofi artifacts on some of the tracks, reminds me of lossy streaming in the 56k days (never thought I’d have nostalgia for streaming music on a dial-up connection haha)

Apple’s algorithms served me this absolutely gorgeous neo-classical solo piano album — Somewhere Else, Alex Kozobolis.

I’ll be listening to Kristin Anna’s new “I Must Be the Devil” on endless loop for quite a while - finally, recorded versions of the songs I’ve been hearing her play live for years. (although, while it’s very good, there’s no way to capture the power of her live performances).

Don’t mind the description. No D’n’B, but lots of ambient and a bit of quirky jungle.

That’s off the album where he worked with Lee Scratch Perry, which seemed like an amazing pairing. Can’t say much for the song tho.

The one Martyn song I really love closes out that album:

Not sure about his ambient scatting on this live one. The album version has Steve Winwood soloing on his Moog for days and of course that won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it really gets me.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. (Did I miss one?)

The first time I heard her (her latest album) I also thought it was (to my ear) a “haven’t heard anything like this before” moment. I paid attention.

I’m very much a fan of Lorde (she’s the only artist aside from the Beatles that everyone else enjoys equally) and I thought that there was some similarity but enough uniqueness to Billie Ellish’s album that she (and her co-producer brother) deserve some real accolades.
