Two weeks' worth, lots of new stuff...
Heather Trost – Petrichor. Female half of A Hawk And A Hacksaw, but quite different on her own, and rather good. Gosh, did someone say Broadcast? https://heathertrost.bandcamp.com/track/let-it-in
Mary Lattimore – Silver Ladders. US alternative harpist who crops up in various places. Not moved by her stuff previously, but this album is actually more of a collaboration with Slowdive’s Neil Halstead, and fans of Pygmalion will find plenty to like here: https://marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/album/silver-ladders
Vennart – In The Dark, Dark Wood. Bloke who used to be in Oceansize. A bit like Deftones meets Radiohead, worth a listen: https://vennart.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-dead-dead-wood
Domenique Dumont – People On Sunday. Nice library-style electronica: https://domeniquedumont.bandcamp.com/album/people-on-sunday
Divide And Dissolve – Gas Lit. Whoa, crushing but allusive heavy drone duo, a bit much over an album, but pretty amazing in short bursts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdl7_hCwFZ0
Soho Rezanejad – Perform And Surrender. Super arty/blurry post-post-post-rock, some niceness here: https://soundcloud.com/siliconerecords/soho-rezanejad-half-the-shore
Richard Durrant – Rewilding. Classical guitarist fancies himself as the new Mike Oldfield: https://richarddurrant.bandcamp.com/album/rewilding
Martin Barre – 50 Years Of Jethro Tull. Tribute band-ish takes on the Tull back catalogue, though to his credit, Barre does tackle plenty of ‘deep cuts’. But this isn’t really for dyed in the wool Passion Play fans such as myself ;-0
Grive – EP. Oh, this is pretty cool, Agnes from La Feline and some bloke making an agreeably gnarly/interesting alt rock sound
Ozric Tentacles – Space For The Earth
Juana Molina – Arnmal: Live In Mexico
VA – Southeast Of Saturn. So, the Michigan space rock scene is here ;-) New comp from Third Man, though what we’re actually talking about is US shoegaze rather than Hawkwind style brain-blasters. A couple of tracks here are more MBV than MBV… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q-uqKEyzK4&feature=emb_logo
Michael Bundt – Just Landed Cosmic Kid. How have I never heard of this before, it’s great! Krauty electronics and drums from 1977, and a big influence on Add N To (X) apparently… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAFu9gKF4Q
Five Day Rain – s/t
Hawkwind – Dunstable/Croyden/Oxford 1977. More soundboards, there’s a hell of a live album lurking in these tracks…
Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe – M144
