Thou - Umbilical - exceptional, even for them
Necrot - Lifeless Birth - nothing earth-shattering, just solid-ass death metal with the best lowbrow metal album cover I've seen in a long time
Jessica Pratt - Here in the Pitch - super minimal, lovely pop record with a very distinctive voice (literally and figuratively)
The Body & Dis Fig - Orchards of a Futile Heaven - I like their collabs with femme vocalists - majestic
and if I can sneak in a December 2023 record: Elephant Walk - Dreadnought Demo
Thanks for these, still working through them here. I really dig that Sour Widows record, have to pick it up.

It took Jessica Pratt doing a top ten for Criterion to get me to check out that record, and I'm glad I did. Late to the party, but glad to join it. The tonal register isn't exactly the same, but I kinda get "Dorothy Moskowitz singing 'Love Song for the Dead Che'" vibes on some of that record. It arrived today and I'll throw it on the turntable soon.

New Novel.

Mystic Valley PKWY by Daughter Of The Vine


This came out in January, but I didn't know about it until last week and it's maybe my favorite thing I've heard all year. Nothing groundbreaking, just snappy psych-pop tunes done right. With this, somesurprises, and Winged Wheel, it's been a good year for dreamy reverb lady vocals. Paging rsmurphy.
