ToiToiToi – Im Hag. Latest from Ghost Box, German guy who seems to hark back to the label’s earlier releases – same quirky sound palette, though without so much of the hauntological spookiness. Nice stuff though: https://soundcloud.com/ghost-box/sets/imhag

Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra – Vula. Crazy German orchestral jazz rock, bit like a cross between Cardiacs and Penguin Café Orchestra.

Jane Weaver – Modern Kosmology. Already one of 2017’s best albums.

Dead Sea Apes – Sixth Side Of The Pentagon

The Inner Space – ‘Apokalypse’. Never heard any of the pre-Can material before, but it’s all out there on YouTube. This track from the Agilok & Blubbo soundtrack is a pretty decent stab at psychedelic freak-out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYiWmfDyPZA

G is for…

Gastr Del Sol – Camoufleur. Last album from Jim O’Rourke’s much lauded 90s post-rock group. I think I got it a few years after the fact when my attention was elsewhere, and it didn’t make much of an impression. To be honest, it didn’t make much more of an impression this time round. It’s jazzily cerebral, but feels a bit disengaged, as though the players have one eyebrow raised throughout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40yAmYuajtY I certainly can’t claim to have heard all of O’Rourke’s output, but I think this might be a recurrent issue. On saying that, he’s also done some marvellous stuff, such as the Insignificance album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8sEMag7LsY and the nicely perverse Halfway To A Threeway EP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qim-IbmFTHo
