Pulp - ‘More’

Fitting in a listen before going to see them in Glasgow tonight. Pretty good, sounds like Pulp.

Roots Manuva - “Dreamy Days” 12”
-
Lovely stuff. The Super Furry Animals remix is good too, though that one’s on the CD single.
From the record fair at the weekend, left a load of other Roots Manuva twelves for my pal Alan to raid.

Plone - ‘For Beginner Piano’
-
A wonderful record. Somewhere between the Radiophonic Orchestra, Broadcast and Boards of Canada. Not too much it was released by Warp and they later recorded for Ghost Box.
I’m sure there was mention of the unreleased second Warp album maybe seeing the light of day.

Dianogah - ‘Millions of Brazilians’
-
An excellent album, lovely bass-lead instrumental fun.
Ordered this from Discogs a week or so ago then discovered today that the Dianogah box set I’d had my fingers crossed for went up for pre-order at tue start of the month.

Luke Slater - ‘Alright on Top’
-
This is the only Luke Slater album I have, and I gather it’s a bit of an outlier in his catalogue. Slater teamed up here with Ricky Barrow of the Aloof for a set of fairly thumping electropop.

Smog - ‘Rain on Lens’

I have this on CD but the CD stopped playing. Always had it in my head that it was quite a bleak record, probably because of the artwork, but it’s not all that bleak.

Lou Barlow / Rudy Trouvé - ‘Lou Barlow / Rudy Trouvé’

Split album, Lou “Dinosaur Jr/Sebadoh/Folk Implosion/solo/etc” on one side, Rudy “dEUS” Trouvé on the other.
All instrumental, probably quite improvised. Works very well, quite an enjoyable low-stakes listen.

These New Puritans - ‘Crooked Wing’
-
Maybe the best album of the year so far. Really beautiful, leans into the airy Talk Talk/Blue Nile/Bark Psychosis/Steve Reich side of what they do. Great stuff.

Been meaning to check out Dolly Mixture for ages - more familiar with Debsey’s wonderful work as part of Birdie and with Saint Etienne. Enjoying it.

I posted Laetitia Sadier’s most recent solo LP a few months back and mused that I was quite content with her solo work and Cavern of Anti-Matter…then The Groop announced this!
Just one listen in and it’s pretty good.

Shudder to Think - ‘Music From the Motion Picture ‘First Love, Last Rites’’

Where our heroes enlist a range of guest vocalists (Jeff Buckley! Liz Phair! Billy Corgan! Nina Persson! Alan and Mimi from Low! Others!) to sing on a range of quite lovely soulful bar-band sixties pop songs.

Was wondering if we’d ever get a new Lake Ruth album and then I got the Feral Child mailout about it during the week!
Very nice it is too.
