NEW RELEASES SETTEMBRE 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?

COMET IS COMING "Hyper-Dimensional expansion beam" The Comet is Coming returns with their second full length album on Impulse! Records. King Shabaka, Danalogue, and Betamax’s newest effort finds the Mercury Prize-nominated trio creating a musical landscape that is equally cerebral as it is physically enthralling.

COSEY FANNI TUTTI "Delia Derbyshire: the myths and the legendary tapes" Cosey Fanni Tutti is one of the great treasures of UK synth and industrial music, and it's no stretch to consider her legacy as a continuation of the groundbreaking work of Delia Derbyshire. As such, she was a natural choice to compose a soundtrack to Caroline Catz's BBC4 docu-drama Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes. [ file under: library music ]
FKA TWIGS "Caprisongs" FKA twigs‘ mixtape Caprisongs finally available on vinyl, with a limited edition Glow in the Dark version.

MAKAYA MCCRAVEN "In these times" In These Times is the new album by Chicago-based percussionist, composer, producer, and pillar of our label family, Makaya McCraven. Dedicated followers may note he’s had 6 other releases in the meantime (including 2018’s widely-popular Universal Beings and 2020’s We’re New Again, his rework of Gil Scott-Heron’s final album for XL Recordings); but none of which have been as definitive an expression of his artistic ethos as In These Times.

She’s been employed by Nadia Reid, Marlon Williams, Lawrence Arabia and Maryrose Crook of The Renderers for her skills. Currently, she plays with The Phoenix Foundation, Luke Buda and Don McGlashan and The Others.

BETH ORTON "Weather alive" “Through the writing of these songs and the making of this music, I found my way back to the world around me – a way to reach nature and the people I love and care about. This record is a sensory exploration that allowed for a connection to a consciousness that I was searching for. Through the resonance of sound and a beaten up old piano I bought in Camden Market while living in a city I had no intention of staying in, I found acceptance and a way of healing.” - Beth Orton [ file under: folktronica ]
MARK PETERS "Red sunset dreams" Mark Peters’ second solo album ‘Red Sunset Dreams’ is the follow-up to his hugely acclaimed debut ‘Innerland’, which was one of Rough Trade’s albums of the year when it came out in 2018, it features a number of guest musicians, including former One Dove singer and songwriter Dot Allison and pedal steel legend BJ Cole.

SUDAN ARCHIVES "Natural brown prom queen" Sudan Archives was feeling homesick during the pandemic. So, she made an album about it. Her second album, Natural Brown Prom Queen, is Brittney Parks' ode to the home she is building for herself — one that bridges her birthplace of Cincinnati with Los Angeles, where she currently lives.The homecoming here is creativity unleashed, with Parks' technical craft, instrumental inventions and hypnotizing beats sending listeners through her musical world. The album has received critical acclaim, including the music outlet Pitchfork, which gave it a score of nine out of 10. [ file under: african rhythms ]
VIEUX FARKA TOURE & KHRUANGBIN "Ali" Ali Farka Touré is well known as one of the most influential and talented guitarists that Africa has ever produced. His legacy and impact are hard to overstate. Ali’s sound merged his much-loved traditional Malian musical styles with distinct elements of the blues. The result was the creation of a groundbreaking new genre, now well known as the ‘desert blues’, earning him three Grammy awards, widespread reverence and the nickname of the ‘African John Lee Hooker’. Though he transcended in 2006, Ali’s musical legacy lives on through his son, Vieux aka “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” an accomplished guitarist and champion of Malian music in his own right. On Ali, his collaborative album with Khruangbin, Vieux pays homage to his father by recreating some of his most resonant work, putting new twists on it while maintaining the original’s integrity. [ file under: desert blues ]
WHITNEY "Spark" Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek could hear the staggering differences in the songs they were writing for their third album as Whitney, SPARK—the buoyant drum loops, the effortless falsetto hooks, the coruscant keyboard lines. They suddenly sounded like a band reimagined, their once-ramshackle folk-pop now brimming with unprecedented gusto and sheen. But could they see it, too? [ file under: chicago pop ]
CHIP WICKHAM "Cloud 10" Chip Wickham is a jazz musician and producer who divides his time between Spain, UK and the Middle-East and who has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper.

NEW RELEASES AGOSTO 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?
B. FLEISCHMANN "Music for shared rooms" Music for Shared Rooms is B. Fleischmann’s eleventh solo album and his first since 2018. It is also not an album, or at least not in the conventional sense of the word. These 16 instrumental pieces provide a kaleidoscopic glimpse of a forward-thinking musician at home in many different musical worlds, including experimental and abstract music, pop and more classically-minded compositional forms. [ file under: electronica ]
CATERINA BARBIERI "Spirit exit" The musical vortexes of Caterina Barbieri rewire time and space. Spirit Exit is Caterina Barbieri’s time machine, primarily composed with a modular synth rig she thinks of more like a mechanical fortune teller. Whereas previous releases were constructed on lengthy tours, capturing only snapshots of continually evolving works. [ file under: isolationism ]
BREATHLESS "See those colours fly" Dreamlike and Hallucinogenic, a hazy luminosity billows from every pore of Breathless' newest album See Those Colours Fly. The music of Dream-Pop Melancholics, Breathless has never been the sort to be hurried - after all, See Those Colours Fly, mixed by Kramer, is only their third new release this century. But while progress on the group's eighth album was unavoidably delayed by a stroke of cruel misfortune - not to mention the realities of the global pandemic - the finished work is one of their finest, brimming with melody, transfigured by its long period of gestation and the changes fate imposed on their creative process. [ file under: indie 'gaze ]
C DUNCAN "Alluvium" Alluvium is the fourth album from C Duncan, Glasgow’s classically trained multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, released through Bella Union. After the haunting raptures of Architect (2015), the Twilight Zone-inspired reveries of The Midnight Sun (2016) and the richly melodic Health (2019), Alluvium is a sublime palate-refresher for Duncan (C for Christopher), brimming with revitalised fluency: a warming dispatch from the daylight zone, if you like. [ file under: indie pop ]
HUDSON MOHAWKE "Cry sugar" Cry Sugar is Hudson Mohawke’s first original album since 2015’s Lantern. During the interim he’s produced records for Pusha T, Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Anohn.Flush with the gaudiest synth fireworks, orchestral strings and main stage EDM trap-hop, it reads like a skewed love note to the American culture HudMo was first inspired by, and has come to be a key part of over the past decade since his standout production on Ye’s ‘Yeezus’ in 2012. [ file under: new electronica ]
MOOR MOTHER "Jazz codes" Jazz Codes uses poetry as a starting point, but the collection moves toward more melody, more singing voices, more choruses and more complexity. In its warm, densely layered course through jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, ’Jazz Codes’ sets the ear blissfully adrift and unhitches the mind from habit. Moor Mother - aka the songwriter, composer, vocalist, poet, and visual artist Camae Ayewa is also a professor at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. [ file under: jazz-perimental ]
NU GENEA "Bar Mediterraneo" Four years after Nuova Napoli, Nu Genea are back with Bar Mediterraneo, a new album and journey, which projects the sounds of the Neapolitan duo formed by Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina even further. Nu Genea's Bar Mediterraneo is an idea of a shared place where people meet and fuse together; a space that leaves its doors open to travellers and their lives, always exposed to the whims of fate. Some of this can be experienced through the multitude of sounds that come together in the tracks, layers of different acoustic instruments, voices and synthesizers merging in a unique musical blend. [ file under: naples disco ]
PANTHA DU PRINCE "Garden Gaia" Building upon his passion for nature-inspired electronica, Pantha Du Prince releases his dazzling seventh album. At times calling back to the bell-laden techno of Elements Of Light and Black Noise, at others to the organic clockwork of his previous album Conference Of Trees, Garden Gaia matches serenity and spirituality with ecstatic club beats. [ file under: club beats ]
DAN SAMSA "Contours" Developing an entirely new technique for each and every one of his critically acclaimed projects, Dan Samsa's debut at Apollo Records is conceived entirely within spatial metaphors - the music seems to materialise and then evaporate through Dan's careful musical craftsmanship, suspending and weaving the live instruments into atmospheric textures. [ file under: electro jazz ]
KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH "Let's turn it into sound" In only a decade, Los Angeles-based composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has ascended through the ranks to become one of the most recognizable figures in modern synthesizer music. Using the Buchla modular system she found thanks to an interest in Terry Riley's music, she made a wild left turn from her work in indie folk duo Ever Isles, eventually snagging a deal with Ghostly International and releasing a bunch of albums. This latest is her most assured yet, she fully leans into tweaky IDM-adjacent beats and lavishing them with crashing waves of modular froth and twisted electronically-assisted vocals. [ file under: experimental ambient ]
NEW RELEASES GIUGNO 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?
AROOJ AFTAB "Vulture prince" Vulture Prince is the third album from Brooklyn-based Pakistani composer Arooj Aftab. Championed by NPR, who praised her composition as one of the Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women+ and the The New York Times, who celebrated her work as one of the Best Classical Music Tracks of 2018, Aftab’s liminal sound floats between classical minimalism and new age, Sufi devotional poetry and electronic trance, jazz structures and states of pure being. On Vulture Prince, the composer’s remarkable voice, backed by a team of renowned musicians, transports listeners to worlds once known. [ file under: ethnic world ]
ANTELOPER "Pink dolphins" jaimie branch and Jason Nazary are Anteloper. When prompted about their name, branch comes back rhyming: “An Anteloper, is an antelope, interloper,” adding in a jovial manner, “an antelope walks up to a party, but you know, people don’t want him around.” Turns out, she had the name before the band was formed, and once the duo started rehearsing, it was apparent that THIS was what an Anteloper sounds like. [ file under: experimental trip hop ]
BATU "Opal" Building on the promise of nearly 10 years testing limits within club music, Batu presents his debut album Opal. Through the course of 11 tracks, rhythmic forms are mutated and manipulated, sonic matter bends across the frequency range and narrative structures coalesce and dissolve according to Batu’s own internal logic. Unpredictability lies at the heart of all this music, bound together by a consistent modernist glint. [ file under: electro ambient ]
YAYA BEY "Remember your north star" Yaya Bey is one of R&B’s most exciting storytellers. Using a combination of ancestral forces and her own self-actualization, the singer/songwriter seamlessly navigates life’s hardships and joyful moments through music. Bey’s new album, ‘Remember Your North Star, captures this emotional rollercoaster with a fusion of soul, jazz, reggae, afrobeat and hip-hop that feeds the soul. [ file under: r.&b. rap & soul ]
FLUME "Palaces" Palaces began to take shape when Flume returned to his native Australia after struggling to write music in Los Angeles at the beginning of the pandemic. Settling in a coastal town in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Flume quickly found the inspiration he needed through reconnecting with the nature around him—the rolling hills, walking around barefoot, the green colour the sky turns before a big storm, growing and eating his own vegetables, the smell of rain. [ file under: electro techno ]
MICHAEL HEAD & THE RED ELASTIC BAND "Dear Scott" Michael Head debuted his Red Elastic Band back in 2017 with the Adios SeNor Pussycat album on Violette Records, following in the wake of his earlier success with bands like Shack. The Liverpudlian singer-songwriter is back with a new long player called Dear Scott, which finds him and his stretchy backing band on stellar form as they run through the likes of lead single Newby Street. It's breezy, jangly indie with acoustic guitar upfront and all the sentimental compositional chops you could wish for, an album to hold close to your heart and songs to carry through your life. [ file under: acoustic indie ]
MR. FINGERS "Around the sun pt. 1" Mr. Fingers returns on Alleviated Records with a new album! Larry Heard (under his most notable monniker) continues on the path he's set with Cerebral Hemispheres in 2018. Encompassing all his influences from Jazz, R&B to Techno and Ambient these lush tracks with a feel that no one else expresses quite like Mr. Fingers. Right from the start with Around the Sun the ten track album pulls you in with these lush produced tracks and effortlessly captivates you with the always infectious grooves and perfectly spaced arrangements. [ file under: electro chill house ]
KELLY LEE OWENS "LP.8" Arriving to snowglobe conditions and sub-zero temperatures, she began spending time in the studio with esteemed avant-noise artist Lasse Marhaug. Together, they envisioned making music somewhere in between Throbbing Gristle and Enya, artists who have had an enduring impact on Kelly’s creative being. In doing so, they paired tough, industrial sounds with ethereal Celtic mysticism, creating music that ebbs and flows between tension and release. [ file under: minimal techno ]
KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH & EMILE MOSSERI "I could be your dog / I could be your moon" "His music filled me with the urge to connect with the world," Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith says of Emile Mosseri. She first heard his work while watching the 2019 film The Last Black Man In San Francisco; just minutes in, she paused it to look up who did the score and wrote to him immediately. "I love Emile's ability to create melodies that feel magically scenic and familiar like they are reminding you of the innocence of loving life.” [ file under: modern classical ]
TOSCA "Osam" For Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, the idea of rebirth is a creative driving force – an artistic device which not only informs their work, but anchors it. As the avant-garde electronic group Tosca, the two artists have lived many musical lives, from their early electronic experiments with tape decks to the blissed-out dub compositions with which they have made their name. Their latest project, Osam, takes this idea of renewal even further. [ file under: downtempo ]
NEW RELEASES MAGGIO 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?

Performing from a young age, the daughters of famed Cuban percussionist Ánga Diaz, have released two critically acclaimed albums, a self-titled debut in 2015 and Ash in 2017. Ibeyi’s Spell 31 is their boldest offering yet, an antidote to apathy in a divided world. [ file under: french afro alternative ]
JAZZANOVA "Strata records - the sound of Detroit" n association with DJ Amir and 180 Proof Records, BBE Music proudly presents ‘Strata Records - The Sound of Detroit - Reimagined by Jazzanova’, a brand new celebration of the iconic imprint. Not unlike the original Strata collective, Jazzanova is a creative musical community in a constant state of evolution. Strata Records rose from the ashes of Detroit’s tumultuous 1960s decline. Motor City famously burned in 1967 and then again in 1968, leading to mass exodus of those who could afford to relocate out of the city. [ file under: nu soul ]
KEHLANI "Blue water road" In February 2021, during an interview with Rolling Stone, Kehlani shared that they recorded songs originally meant for the deluxe version of their previous album, It Was Good Until It Wasn't (2020), but felt as though the songs would fit better on a separate album. Kehlani formally revealed the album's official title through a trailer on September 14, and revealed that it would be released in the winter. Hours later, they announced the album's lead single, "Altar", which was released the following day. On December 14, Kehlani announced that the album will be delayed due to "a lot [of work] needed before finishing." [ file under: nu soul ]
MELODY'S ECHO CHAMBER "Emotional eternal" Emotional Eternal, the third studio album from Melody’s Echo Chamber, is a deeply human collection of songs full of prolonged moments of sonic transcendency, a record that clearly exhibits its maturity but still regards the world with a childlike wonder. Having swapped Paris for the clean air of the Alps, Melody hopes “the record has that uplifting quality. I made some big and impactful decisions and changes to my life. It took me to where it is peaceful and I think the record reflects this.” [ file under: dream pop ]
TESS PARKS "And those who were seen dancing" Toronto-born, London-based artist Tess Parks will return with her long-awaited new album ‘And Those Who Were Seen Dancing’ on May 20th 2022 via Fuzz Club Records and Hand Drawn Dracula (CA). Following years of international touring and a lengthy list of critically-acclaimed collaborations with Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe in recent years (most recently the duo’s self-titled 2018 LP), the new album will be Parks’ first full-length solo offering since her much-loved debut album, ‘Blood Hot’, was released back in 2013 on Alan McGee’s 359 Music label. [ file under: alternative ]
PROJECT GEMINI "The children of scorpio" A cinematic musical journey that plays out like a long-lost soundtrack (think cult B-movies of the 60s and 70s); 'The Children of Scorpio’ was formed from Paul's love of a myriad of genres; from European library music, acid folk, psych-funk, vintage soundtracks and the contemporary breaks scene. The album draws on iconic classics such as the masterful cinematic funk of Lalo Schifrin's 'Dirty Harry', Ennio Morricone's 'Vergogna Schifosi’ and Luis Bacalov’s 'The Summertime Killer’, to name but a few. [ file under: library music ]
TOMBERLIN "I don't know who needs to hear this..." Tomberlin is Sarah Beth Tomberlin, a pastor’s kid born in Florida, raised in rural Illinois. She wrote the majority of her debut, At Weddings (2018), while living at home. For a while after leaving home and church, she lived in Louisville, Kentucky. She worked a day job and kept writing songs. She posted some of these songs to Bandcamp, which led to her signing a record deal with Saddle Creek. [ file under: indie acoustic ]
SHARON VAN ETTEN "We've been going about this all wrong" Since the release of Remind Me Tomorrow, Van Etten has collaborated with artists ranging from Courtney Barnett and Joshua Homme to Norah Jones and Angel Olsen.

NEW RELEASES APRILE 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?
TANIKA CHARLES "Papillon de nuit: the night butterfly" "Papillon de Nuit: The Night Butterfly" is the third studio album from Canadian Soul/R&B powerhouse Tanika Charles and is slated to be released worldwide on Milan-based Record Kicks label on April 08th. Composed and recorded while in and out of lockdowns, Papillon de Nuit is an album anchored in growth and maturity. The thematic inspiration came from an unlikely source, a creature that soars after the sun sets, but often goes unnoticed until the light shines on it. It is the "papillon de nuit" to some, but drably referred to as a moth by others, revealing a bias in language alone. [ file under: nu soul ]
DUSTER "Together" Gather your loved ones, Together is here. Duster’s fourth album is a 13-song exploration of comfortable, interplanetary goth. A sonic vaseline of submerged guitars, solder-burned synths, and over-driven rhythm tracks. “I know people say, ‘Oh Duster music so sad, we've even said it ourselves before,” Clay Parton said. “But it's a lot more like absurdism than nihilism.” [ file under: post-rock ]
FONTAINES DC "Skinty fia" "2020’s A Hero’s Death saw Fontaines D.C. land a #2 album in the UK, receive nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards, and sell out London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. Now the band return with their third record in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicized, and its meaning diluted through generations. [ file under: irish indie ]
HELD BY TREES "Solace" Held By Trees are a group of musicians who worked on many albums by Talk Talk and the Mark Hollis solo album. Their debut LP 'Solace' is one of post-rock instrumentals. Their music is heavily influenced by the aforementioned Talk Talk, as well as Ryuichi Sakamoto and ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’-era Pink Floyd. The band also includes members of Blur, Dire Straits and blues guitarist Eric Bibb. Other contributors include Tim Renwick (guitar – Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Eric Clapton), Mike Smith (sax – Blur, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz), David Knopfler (guitar – Dire Straits founding member), Gary Alesbrook (trumpet – Noel Gallagher, Kasabian, Super Furry Animals). [ file under: spirit of eden ]
SALLY SHAPIRO "Sad cities" "Sad Cities is the best kind of comeback album; one that has just the right amount of nostalgia baked into the grooves, but also adds in new sounds and approaches. Shapiro and Agebjörn certainly do that and the album is a reminder of just how good heartbreak disco can sound when delivered by people who understand it so well." AllMusic (4/5) [ file under: italo disco ]
BRIX SMITH/MARTYN WILLSON-PIPER "Lost angeles" Legendary musical pioneer Brix Smith recorded Lost Angeles with Marty Willson-Piper in 1997 and this long lost gem includes some of her best work to date. Originally intended to be a follow on from her influential and much loved project The Adult Net, 'Lost Angeles' was written in Los Angeles during her break from The Fall (1992-1994) and recorded in 1997 in Penzance during her second stint in The Fall. [ file under: alternative ]
NIK COLK VOID "Bucked up space" Nik Void is well established with her work as one half of Factory Floor, one third of Carter Tutti Void (alongside Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti) and with the late Peter Rehberg as NPVR, but perhaps surprisingly, "Bucked up Space" is her first solo album release. Bucked Up Space combines Void’s love of improvisation with the driving force of beat-driven music absorbed from performing in galleries, residencies and clubs across the UK and Europe. [ file under: kompakt techno ]
WET LEG "S/t" After releasing two of the hottest singles of the year, Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers were catapulted from their confines on the Isle of Wight to sold out venues across the UK and packed-out tents at festivals causing giddy excitement wherever they went. Now, the duo is thrilled to unveil news of their debut album. The album is called Wet Leg. [ file under: alt indie ]
WHATEVER THE WEATHER "S/t" A longtime fan of ambient-adjacent Ghostly International artists such as Telefon Tel Aviv (who she’d ask to master the album), HTRK (whose singer Jonnine Standish features on Nothing), and Lusine (whom she remixed at the start of 2021), Lorraine James saw the label as the ideal home for this eponymous album of airy, transportive tracks as they began to formulate. [ file under: electronica ]
EMILY JANE WHITE "Alluvion" Emily Jane White is a musician, songwriter, and poet from Oakland, CA. She began performing under her own name in 2003 and released her first album "Dark Undercoat" in 2007. Rooted in a moment of catastrophe, Alluvion is an album about personal and collective grief resulting from the loss of human life and the continued loss of our natural world. We live in a moment of merging traumas, of converging environmental, social, and political crises. [ file under: chamber pop ]
NEW RELEASES MARZO 2022: WHAT'S GOING ON MY MUSIC PLAYER?
APRIL MARCH "In cinerama" April March has quite the resume: an animator on Pee Wee’s Playhouse and for Madonna’s Who’s That Girl video, and collaborating with Brian Wilson, Jack White, LL Cool J, Jonathan Richman, Ronnie Spector and Bertrand Burgalat. But she also has an acclaimed recording career, heavily influenced by French pop music, making a name for herself in France with her self-produced albums as well as albums with Bertand Burgalat and Aquaserge. [ file under: tricatel sounds ]
BLUE STATES "World contact day" World Contact Day arrives six years after the previous Blue States album, written and recorded partly at Dragazis' Lightwell Recordings studio in Hackney featuring a combination of instrumental soundscapes and vocal songs that fall into draw on a wide palette of influences including Morricone, Vangelis, Beak, Broadcast and The Carpenters. [ file under: downtempo ]
BOO RADLEYS "Keep on with falling" Responding to the warm welcome that greeted news of their reformation earlier this year, The Boo Radleys release their first album of all-new music in 24 years, the 11-track Keep On With Falling on their own Boostr label. Rising from cult-shoegaze band to the very forefront of British guitar pop inside one, eventful decade,and formed of original members, Sice, Tim Brown and Rob Cieka, the 11-songs on Keep On With Falling are the first to be developed by The Boo Radleys as a three-piece. [ file under: shoegaze ]
ELECTRIBE 101 "Electribal soul" Electribal Soul is the fabled, previously unreleased second album from UK electronic pioneers Electribe 101. Recorded in 1991 by the quintet of vocalist Billie Ray Martin and Birmingham-based electronic musicians Brian Nordhoff, Joe Stevens, Les Fleming and Roberto Cimarosti, Electribal Soul was conceived as the sequel to the band’s 1990 debut album, Electribal Memories. [ file under: ambient electro house ]
ALDOUS HARDING "Warm Chris" An artist of rare calibre, Aldous Harding does more than sing; she conjures a singular intensity. The artist has announced details of Warm Chris new studio album, the follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed Designer. For Warm Chris, the Aotearoa New Zealand musician reunited with producer John Parish, continuing a professional partnership that began in 2017 and has forged pivotal bodies of work (2017’s Party and the aforementioned Designer). [ file under: alt folk 4ad ]
JENNY HVAL "Classic objets" “In 2020, like everyone else, I was just a private person,” says Hval. As an exercise, Hval wrote straight-forward stories about life, investigating the stripped-down “just me” concept. She had been “just me” before too, when at 24, while living in Australia, she was diagnosed with celiac disease and could no longer begin her music career in the way she had foreseen. [ file under: alternative ]
IBIBIO SOUND MACHINE "Electricity" Fronted by London-born Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine is a clash of African and electronic elements inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk, disco, and modern post-punk and electro. Evocative Nigerian poetic imagery set against an edgy Afro-Electro soundscape gives the band a unique space within the wave of modern Afrocentric sounds. [ file under: nigerian disco ]
KING HANNAH "I'm not sorry, I was just being me" Hannah Merrick’s recollection of how she and Craig Whittle first set about turning ambition into reality is typically down-to-earth. “I remember wanting a band,” she says, “and that was that. The first thing was to get a guitarist, and that was Craig. But it was never, ‘Let’s just jam’. Instead, as soon as we had our songs together, it was, ‘Let’s build on this. Let’s put a band around it.’” And ‘this’, as others might say, is how the magic began. [ file under: moody americana ]
WEATHER STATION "How is it that I should look at the stars" One year after the release of Ignorance, The Weather Station returns with How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars. The album is intended to be heard as a companion piece to Ignorance; songs written at the same time that connect thematically and emotionally, songs that reveal the vulnerability at the heart of the body of work. Recorded live in just three days, How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is achingly intimate; full of breath, silence, and detail. [ file under: indie folk ]
NILUFER YANYA "Painless" Nilüfer Yanya runs head first into the depths of emotional vulnerability on her anticipated sophomore record PAINLESS. Recorded between a basement studio in Stoke Newington and Riverfish Music in Penzance, the record is a more sonically direct effort, narrowing her previously broad palette to a handful of robust ideas. Yanya's debut album Miss Universe (2019) earned a Best New Music tag from Pitchfork and saw support tours with Sharon Van Etten, Mitski and The XX. [ file under: alternative ]

THE NAMES
"Swimming"
Factory Benelux presents a new CD edition of Swimming, the debut album by Belgian new wave group The Names, originally issued in June 1982. Swimming has come to be regarded as a European cold wave classic.

RIP RIG + PANIC
"God"
Named after a Roland Kirk album, Rip Rig + Panic were one of the most exciting bandsof the 1980s, fusing funk, jazz, punk and world music influences into a unique whole. With lead singer Neneh Cherry, the band recorded three albums for Virgin Records which have never been legitimately available on Cd. All three LPs are now remastered from the original master tapes with a raft of bonus tracks taken from non-album singles. Original band members Gareth Sager (ex-Pop Group) and Mark Springer are involved with these releases, with the blessing of Neneh Cherry and (current PiL) drummer Bruce Smith.

ANNETTE PEACOCK
"I'm the one"
In 2010 Annette Peacock quietly reissued her 1972 album I'm The One on CD via her own Ironic label. It was only available via her site or CDBaby, but now I'm The One is being given a full reissue shakedown by Light In The Attic. Peacock collaborated with Salvador Dali, bought a Moog direct from Robert Moog, was confidant to Timothy Leary, and turned down an offer to tour with David Bowie, telling him to buy his own synthesizer.

THE POP GROUP
"For how much longer do we tolerate
mass murder?"
Reissue of The Pop Group’s ‘For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder’ - one of the most challenging records of the post-punk era. Upon its release in 1980, For How Much Longer received mixed reviews, with publications at the center of post-punk discourse (such as the NME) dismissing its agit-prop didacticism in favor of the fevered mysticism of the group's debut album, Y.

LIZZY MERCIER DESCLOUX
"One for the soul"
Remastered from original tapes. Housed in heavyweight, tip on-style gatefold with essay by Vivian Goldman and download code including 2 bonus tracks “By the time poet, singer-songwriter, and artist Lizzy Mercier Descloux recorded 1984’s Zulu Rock, she’d marked herself out as both a globe trotter with more passport stamps than Tintin and a musical innovator whose loose, arty spirit could be applied to styles as varied as no wave, Bavarian oompa and Soweto jive.

VIVIEN GOLDMAN
"Resolutionary (Songs 1979-1982)"
Vivien Goldman went from being a musical participant of the early-'80s London-New York fusion of dub, post-punk, reggae, hip-hop and African sounds to a keen, informative critic and professor of those genres in general. This excellent album is the first collection of Goldman's brief yet vibrant musical explorations. Included among the various talents are members of the Slits, PiL, the Raincoats, Robert Wyatt, Steve Beresford, David Toop, and Adrian Sherwood. These tracks combine a pop sensibility with the avant-dub deconstructionist mindset that lends her work that rare and special mix of accessibility and experimentation.

SECTION 25
"Always now"
Factory Benelux presents a deluxe double disc edition of Always Now, the debut album by cult Factory Records group Section 25, produced by legendary sonic architect Martin Hannett in 1981. Recorded as a trio at Pink Floyd's Britannia Row studio in London, Always Now combined austere post-punk rhythms with elements of Can, Krautrock and modern psychedelia. Key tracks include non-albums singles Charnel Ground, Je Veux Ton Amour and Girls Don’t Count. This new Factory Benelux 2xCD edition is housed in a miniature version of the folding pochette wallet designed by Peter Saville - famously one of the most expensive sleeves produced by Factory.

Ridateci il vinile, ridateci la possibilità di avere dischi che durano trenta, quaranta minuti, fatti di canzoni e brani che gli artisti hanno voluto metterci, senza inutili e insulsi riempitivi, Ridateci il vinile, ridateci un oggetto che magari si sente peggio, che non è portatile, che è grande e scomodo, ma che rappresenta la musica quanto la musica che contiene. Ridateci il vinile, che ha un valore intrinseco che nessun CD riuscirà mai ad avere. Ridateci il vinile, assieme ai file mp3 e ai Compact Disc, utili ognuno per un motivo diverso. Certo, magari guadagnerete meno, magari i clamorosi fatturati che l'industria discografica ha fatto quando è arrivato il CD non li vedrete più, ma di sicuro non perderete l'anima e il lavoro. Il lavoro lo state già perdendo, e anche l'anima, trasformandovi in venditori di magliette, poster, gadget. Venditori di diritti televisivi e radiofonici, produttori di concerti e di DVD di certo non più "discografici". Ridateci il vinile e provate a salvare il vostro, nostro, mercato della musica. Abbandonate l'idea di vendere pezzi di plastica e tornate a vendere dischi.
