“Entendre” by Nik Bartsch has been my jam these last couple of weeks. Solo piano.

What’s new and worth listening to?

Brazilian singer Jadsa's full length debut, Olho de Vidro, is probably my most listened-to 2021 release so far.

Been loving 'Glen Echo' by Azita.

Puritan is Chris Brokaw's finest record. Bandcamp link.

For posterity's sake, Mint Mile's Ambertron was my favorite album of 2020. Again, Bandcamp.

Floating Point and Pharoah Sanders is a big favourite.

Mogwai - As The Love Continues was a great way to start the year
It won't be out till June but the new Part Chimp album, Drool is AMAZING. Their American label accidentally made the whole thing available to listen on bandcamp briefly and it SHREDS. It will probably be album of the year for me.
*EDIT* WOW. These images come out way bigger than they used to!

Susie Ibarra "Walking On Water"
Xiu Xiu "OH NO"
Mark Feldman "Sounding Point"
new Superwolves
Wayne Horvitz "Live Forever Vol 1"
Fred Frith and Ikue Mori "A Mountain Doesn't Know It's Tall"
what I've heard from the Don Cherry reissues coming soon on Blank Forms

I have heard only two songs from the new Black Midi album but pretty sure it will be a favourite. Also looking forward to the Superwolves. Otherwise, very out-of-touch with what’s new.

USA/Mexico - Del Rio
Mogwai - As the Love Continues
The Martha's Vineyard Ferries - Suns Out Guns Out
The Gary - Fallow
Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders, The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises
Daniel Knox - Won't You Take Me With You
Nonagon - They Birds
The Still - Got It


Watched FACS perform material from their new record, Present Tense, a few weeks ago; anxiously awaiting that one. Also looking forward to 1-800-Mondays from Paper Mice.

Stuff that's been kicking my ass this year:

(I think technically released on 12/31 last year, but close enough)
