Couldn't finalise a #MidYearAlbums list this year but as it's #Cassunday, here's a baker's dozen of short-run cassettes released in 2025 that I've really enjoyed...
In no particular order, all come with the highest recommendation 😁

There’s nothing quite like an Adam Curtis documentary, and Shifty is quite spellbinding. It’s dripping in nostalgia, but there’s a clarity and wit to the storytelling, even at its dreamiest/ most nightmarish.
Extra points for the opening scene in Episode 1.

Shifty
When power begins to shift in society, everything becomes unstable, exciting and frightening. Living in Britain at the end of the 20th century. From acclaimed film maker Adam Curtis.
