Main replays this week:

Killing Joke - Pylon
From 2015. Tons of monstrous riffage as we've come to expect from KJ these days, there are some hummable tunes here as well though. The lyrics are typically buried but on closer scrutiny the usual themes of global cabals and how we're all basically being fucked over are present and correct. Blair and Iraq get a mention, which makes me wonder how regular communications are into Jaz's no-internet-here-thank-you bunker. Although he also mentions Strictly, so you never know.

The next two were on repeat last week too, and are not going far from the stereo:

Olden Yolk - Olden Yolk
This one is likely to be in my albums of the year, really liking it.

Lowtide - Southern Mind
Ditto.

Loma - Loma
Joining them in the potential end of year contenders and probably surpassing them. Sparse desert blueish indie with a bit of electronic sheen, loving this very much indeed.

Three other new releases, only a play each so far but very happy listening:

Urthona - Destruction Rules
Gwenno - Le Kov
Breeders - All Nerve

Otherwise:

The Human League - Dare
Killing Joke - The Singles Collection (Disc 1: 1979 - 1990)
A-ha - Hunting High & Low
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy
A-ha - Scoundrel Days
The Wedding Present - Tommy
REM - Green
The Wedding Present - "Kennedy" EP

The Wedding Present - "Brassneck" EP
Sugar - Copper Blue
Therapy? - "Teethgrinder" EP
Thousand Yard Stare - "Comeuppance" EP
Throwing Muses - "Firepile" EP x2
New Order - Republic
Kristin Hersh - Hips And Makers

Cross Record - etc.
The God In Hackney - Cave Moderne
