Motorpsycho – Supersonic Scientists. 25 year retrospective/best of. Not many bands could put something like this out and for the best tracks all to be from the last five years, including this awesome slice of Nordic prog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDlQs67lVCs
Killing Joke – Pylon. Loving this, tempted to say something similar to the above, except this is a band with the likes of ‘Eighties’, ‘Love Like Blood’ etc in their back catalogue
Go March – s/t. Liked this a lot more on second listen, clever proggy motorik instrumentals
VA – In A Moment… Ghost Box. All the world-building stuff aside, Ghost Box has just consistently produced great music over the past ten years, undiminished by the fact you always kind of know what you’re going to get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80FE0BaKbpw (love the way this track half-inches the melody to ‘Paint It Black’)
Noveller – Fantastic Planet / Glacial Glow. One woman atmospheric guitar instrumentalist, who’s just been on a big European tour, which I managed to miss completely. For post-rock drone that doesn’t suck, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQG0knPjk48
Girl Band – ‘Pears For Lunch’. The new Liars, perhaps. I love the controlled but rising hysteria of this track (nice video too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgi3ZvolkRQ
Electric Music – North London Spiritualist Church
Endless Boogie – Long Island
