Jane Weaver – Flock. New one upcoming from the queen of, err, space rock? Well not quite this time, as it builds on the poppier tracks of Modern Kosmology… but on first hearing, doesn’t really match them. It could be a grower I guess… https://janeweaverfire.bandcamp.com/album/flock
Daniel O’Sullivan & Richard Youngs – Twelve Of Hearts. Two blokes always worth lending an ear to, and on this collab, which is kind of future doo wop meets Eno-esque avant folk, they come up trumps, in spades (see what I did there?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bx-srjAwE0&list=OLAK5uy_kneknOgo55c1TRrrtxAEenM2pqEDQiWa4
Live Skull – Dangerous Visions. Sonic Youth’s old sparring partners return with a bit of a mish mash – some new songs, an old Peel session, a few comp tracks – but it’s very much worth a listen if you’re into that NYC mid-80s noise sound. And I’ve always loved this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S5c973z_OQ
Anna von Hausswolff – All Thoughts Fly
Jorja Chalmers – Human Again
Hawkwind – Choose Your Masques
David Bowie – Lodger. The Visconti remix. Listened on Spotify, and couldn’t tell any massive differences, but on saying that, I enjoyed it more than usual. I’d certainly take it over “Heroes”.
Tangerine Dream – Green Desert
Little Big Horn – s/t
Flower Travellin’ Band – Satori
Masters Apprentices – s/t
Stray – Suicide. This and the two above are absolutely essential releases from 1971
The Liverpool Scene – Granada TV, February 1969. Because this can never be shared enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86S-jlhLSqA
