The Spacious Mind – The No. 4 or 5 Gravy Band. Swedish cosmic/psych/prog veterans, though this is the first album I’ve heard by them. It’s fine, but you’ll have heard all the components a thousand times before. Does make you wonder about the sheer over-abundance of this stuff these days, but I guess you could say that about all music genres… https://essence-music.bandcamp.com/album/the-no-4-or-5-gravy-band

K-X-P – IV. Finnish mystic/pagan rave people, or at least, that’s what the blurb says. Muffly 4/4 beats swathed in lots of drone and reverb, it’s, err, OK…

Plaid – Polymer. Ah, one of the old Warp IDM crews return, and if you’re into that 90s electronica sound, you’ll be pleased to hear they haven’t updated it that much… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBpVycuV7xM

FACS – Lifelike. Claustrophobic, post-post-post-punk that’s not unpleasant, but neither is it particularly endearing.

Spotlights – Love & Decay. Melodic heaviosity from NY trio, a bit like Deftones meets MBV, rather nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSncsO55yRM

VA – Lullabies For Catatonics (Disc 1). But for some unequivocal ear-pleasing sounds, it’s all about the past once again. This is an excellent late 60s/early 70s ‘art rock’ boxset, highlighting that there was lots of cool, cerebral music out there during the period alongside the more grandstanding progressive groups, much of which I was unfamiliar with, such as this groovy oddity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSJg_8bCuhQ

Gong – The Universe Also Collapses

Nik Turner – The Final Frontier

JuJu – Maps And Territory

Leafcutter John – Yes! Come Parade With Us

The Comet Is Coming – Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery

Modern Nature – Nature EP

Concretism – Another Way Of Looking At It / Don’t Forget The Empties EPs
