Here Lies Man – Ritual Divination. Latest from the Sabs-meet-Afrobeat guys, and there seems to have been some progression in their sound, stretching things out a bit more to fine effect here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMTybhnSgZs
Beautify Junkyards – Cosmorama. Ghost Box’s Spanish outpost. Kind of Tropicalia tinged Broadcast, though only intermittently engaging: https://soundcloud.com/ghost-box/sets/cosmorama
Elephant9 – Arrival Of The New Elders. Oh, this is good, new one from Rune Grammofon jazz prog veterans that’s tighter and more concise than previous efforts, and all the better for it
Fire! – Defeat. RG always seem to release albums in twos, so here’s the latest from avant jazz trio Fire! Just as much flute as baritone sax this time, which is nice
Camera – Prosthuman. New one from krautrock torch bearers for the 21st century – some killer plus filler, but pretty decent overall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYncCO1jI24
Mt. Mountain – Centre. Another band who’ve been putting stuff out for a while, but this one really hits the mark in a kind of ecstatic psych meets Tuareg blues way: https://mtmountain.bandcamp.com/album/tassels
Cobalt Chapel – Orange Synthetic
Mary Lattimore – Silver Ladders
English Heretic – “Anti-Heroes”
Pye Corner Audio – Black Mill Tapes Vol 3
Black Sabbath – Vol 4 (deluxe remaster). A LOT of outtakes on this, but the 1973 live album set still makes this pretty indispensable for fans
Roxy Music – Peel sessions
