D Rothon – Nightscapes. Latest from Clay Pipe Music label, the ‘new’ Ghost Box (kind of). Slyly seductive sketches for pedal steel, piano, Mellotron etc evoking the hours of (suburban) darkness. A grower.

Matt Robertson – Entology. Film soundtrack composer guy and sometime collaborator of Bjork releases reasonably diverting electronica album. I’m not really plugged into this scene at all anymore, but a bit like Jon Hopkins? https://soundcloud.com/mattrobertson/coral

Anja Garbarek – The Road Is Just A Surface. Yes, daughter of Jan, but she’s carved out a pretty distinctive niche for herself since the late 90s, kind of spooky art pop that wouldn’t be out of place in a David Lynch film – which is a pretty good description of this latest album, albeit it’s a ‘conceptual’ song cycle about psychiatric disorders or summat. Slightly hard work, but she has a great voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjkpN3qWK5o

Low – Double Negative. Thought I’d give this a listen based on the ecstatic reviews. I was a big Low fan for a few years, but they lost me a bit after Drums And Guns, of which this is sonically a follow-up, kind of… Couldn’t shake the feeling often that I was listening to some alt dimension version of the Carpenters as an industrial/experimental project. Interesting, with a few great songs, but not sure how much you’d want to revisit it? https://lowtheband.bandcamp.com/track/fly

Thalia Zedek Band – Fighting Season. US post-hardcore eminence grise still pumping out heart-on-the-sleeve clanking blues rock. Good: https://thaliazedek.bandcamp.com/album/fighting-season

Shida Shahabi – Homes

Sherpa – Tigris & Euphrates

Amgala Temple – Invisible Airships

Stereolab – Peng! / Space Age Batchelor Pad Music. Bizarrely enough, I had never heard these before, Stereolab being one of those bands that I assume I ‘know’, but don’t really. Surprised how shoegazey the first one is, while the second stakes their claim as being at the head of the queue in ripping Neu! off.

Matching Mole – s/t

Gryphon – Red Queen To Gryphon Three
