Mesmerizing and hypnotic, the new single from Amanda Whiting featuring Alice Russell just released earlier in the week.
This is the first single of the upcoming Adam Scrimshire produced EP, Can You See Me Now releasing June 6th and I'm really looking forward to this one.

David Mitchell's Turiyans was one of my favorite albums of April.
Not only that, but the album has been one of my favorite finds to share in the six months since I started Chaotic Good Jazz.
If you are a fan of electric-Era Miles and Alice Coltrane, this album is for you!

137 | Strangeness Oscillation
137 is the UK-based quartet of Adrian Utley, Larry Stabbins, Jim Barr, and Sebastian Rochford.
Their debut album 'Strangeness Oscillation' released on July 31, 2024 is a ferocious collection of experimental post-rock doom-jazz improvisations.
