Ooof, been laid low by plague…

Skydive Trio – Sun Sparkle. More jazz/prog/rock Scandinavians, this time in a guitar-led trio formation. Nice if not immediately earth-shattering. https://soundcloud.com/hubro/skydive-trio-decending-from-the-upcoming-album-sun-sparkle

Ryley Walker – Deafman Glance. Loving this now, with all its quirks.

Blackwater Holylight – s/t. Did I say the last track on this album is called ‘Jizz Witch’?

VA – Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present Paris In The Spring. So, here’s something which I think will be of serious interest to many here. It’s a companion (in terms of timeframe) to the excellent English Weather from last year (which somebody flagged up on this very forum), only this time, looking at the crossover in France between ye-ye, chanson and the funky orchestral soundtracks of Jean-Claude Vannier etc. Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the May ’68 riots, it is brilliant: https://www.acerecords.co.uk/bob-stanley-pete-wiggs-present-paris-in-the-spring-1

The Nightcrawlers – The Biophonic Boombox Recordings. Primitive US kosmische from the late 70s/early 80s, recorded live. Definitely of interest if you’re particularly inclined in that direction… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopLaEbbe1E

Bark Psychosis – Codename: Dustsucker. Their second album, released ten years after their first, and completely overlooked at the time. Pretty much carries on from where Hex left off, though there’s some pleasantly trippy stuff here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyk11Vkxgzo

Live:

La Feline – Birthdays, Stoke Newington. I’ve blahhed on plenty about how brilliant I think the latest La Feline album is – wasn’t sure how it was going to translate live, but Agnes Gayraud & band did a great job. The keys/synths were mixed quite high, which gave the tunes a more electronic feel, which for the most part worked really well, particularly playing the ‘sequenced’ sections in in real time.
