It's been a long wait but the Durutti Columns latest release is just gorgeous floaty guitar with small licks of Flamenco that glide over you. The albums second half up's the tempo a little but still sounds reassuringly snug and enveloping. A treat.



Experimental Jazz. Afrobeat. Tribal rhythms. Strange chanting. Oh yes it's tasty and loopy.



Despite the name suggesting a German Metal band, this is actually dark, trippy, jazzy ambient soundscapes. Brilliant. (Thanks to Demonoid for the heads up).



Very good Polish instrument based Hip-Hop/Reggae hybrid.

Earth—The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
For anyone who is not familiar with these guys, they started off as drone band back in the early 90s but more recently have started making more melodic music, albeit extremely slow, minimalistic melodic music. What I really enjoy about this album is how well it works as almost a continuation of their last proper studio album Hex. That album began with sparse notes hanging over what sounded like a barren, wind-swept landscapes and slowly, over the course of the album, worked it's way up to greener pastures with slightly more complicated arrangements and melodies and slightly faster tempos. This album starts where that album left off and continues to get greener and more complex as the album moves along, the second to last song even flirts the slightest bit with jazz. It really is a fantastic album, like it's predecessor was, and if you are a patient music listener who does not mind slow tempos and instrumental music I'd highly recommend checking this album out.

Saint Etienne : Tiger Bay

Favourite tracks:

He's On The Phone
I Buy American Records
Hug My Soul
Pale Movie
Hate The Drug


Saint Etienne makes very cool, stylish and pretty pop. This is one of their best albums. Just really enjoyable to listen to...drifting and gorgeous. They utilize tons of influences, but don't sound derivative.

Been listening to a lot of the Celibate Rifles recently, particularly Spaceman In a Satin Suit. They're basically a more consistent version of the Saints, which is just fine by me really

The Ditty Bops - s/t

A kind of throwback pop duo, it's all in the name. The music is full of charm; it's something you can sing along to.

Sounds like my sort of thing. You should checkout Stars Of The Lid. They will be right up your street.
