Have seen somewhere that she has supported Haiku Salut which does not surprise me though they are by no means the same.

The Onehotrix new LP is stunning.

I bloody hate you sometimes, came here to say that and now look like a copycat by 10 minutes.

It is though. 4 crackers in a row now.

Heh. He's one clever, very original and brave artist. It's that and TOTS in my ears this week. I've not had a proper listen to it as the vinyl's been held back but I'll listen to it enough by Tueday.

Having had a month to settle in with it Julien Baker's 'Sprained Ankle' has made a late dash for my 2015 top ten.
Anyone else given this a spin?

Ringo Deathstarr have released 'Pure Mood'. Nice bit of shoegazey noise.

Is the best word to describe the new Oneohtrix Point Never album - veers crazily from laid back to hypertense to the threat of early 90s techno back to plangent guitars speeding back up to squalls of electronic noise, strange samples, cockney voices. It just won't sit still. I give it 8.

Kiran Leonard's Grapefruit will be the album of 2016. I'm a huge fan.

16 minute lead single, the kid does not give a ****.

Plays the Albert in early Jan.

Yep, it'll be my third time watching. His recorded stuff is starting to sound a little like what he achieves in his live performance which is pretty special.

I've had my eye on Krak Krak for a while, the project of former 80's Matchbox drummer Rob Ling for a while, their album came out yesterday and it's rather good.

Warning: It can be a little \m/ at times.

I seem to be one of a very small number who didn't get 80s Matchbox.

Really? I'm surprised. One of my all time favourite Brighton bands, awesome live - Guy was just dynamite as frontman.

Anyway - that's no indication to the sound of this lot tbf.

I never saw the properly live, but did listen to their stuff back in the day and probably saw them live on something. And plenty of people I know did get it.

I can't always pinpoint exactly why I can't connect with a band and they fall into this category. I didn't dislike them, more indifferent than anything negative. I'll certainly give this KrakKrak a listen though.

And continuing the local theme, we did the album launch for Ingrid Plum's 'Plangent' album a couple of weeks ago and it was one one of my favourite shows of the year by anyone. I'm not sure the record portrays to you how special her voice is but if some beautiful sung, minimal folk/ sound art sounds up your street, you should give it a go.

If you happen to be a fan of a Springsteen-infused country rock kind of sound, then Eric Church's "Mr Misunderstood" is the album for you.

He released it with no fanfare whatsoever, with the first anyone knew of it being when members of his fan club received CD and vinyl copies of it through the post, and it's bloody superb.
