A top LP, beautifully crafted and brimful of intelligence. And, just like everything the Lady Hath has done, ensure you get it.
Le Loup – Family
This is a country moods easy listening album; albeit one made by people who have sat in a barn dropping acid
Vivian Girls – Everything Goes Wrong
This record fizzes and pops, and has the same tough, spiky, weird gaucheness that Lush had…
Githead – Landing
Somehow Githead have made a seminal drone-rock LP without breaking sweat.
Isbells – S/T
An undemanding listen if you are undemanding, and sympathetic presence if you are looking for something more.
The Brilliant Colors – Introducing
For one who remembers C86 & C87 in all its happily underachieving slapdash glory, this is the perfect reminder.
Greg Davis – Mutually Arising
Yet another magnificent release by Kranky, but be warned, this is not for the faint-hearted or impatient.
Lyenn – The Jollity of My Boon Companion
A marvellous, exciting release; and one that will catch you out with its pranks and surprises.
Old Canes – Feral Harmonic
We really should have brought this record to your collective attention earlier: because it’s absolutely brilliant.
Michael Hurley – Ida Con Snock
Hurley writes great songs, and his easy-going vibe sets the tone for a very enjoyable set.
