I was supposed to be spinning some newly purchased records today but got a bit distracted! It’s been a blissful, My Bloody Valentine Sunday. This is as good as it gets, musically, for me. Absolute heaven 🙌🏼😎
😀 my mate Aniff raps on that record 🙌🏼

Last one before the football. Beautiful, haunting, folky vibes from Findlay Brown with Separated by the Sea. An overlooked gem 🤩👌🏼 #5DebutAlbums0509

Crikey. Another one that I can’t possibly leave out of my #5DebutAlbums0509. Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle with his stunning debut solo album Yours Truly, The Commuter. It’s basically a Grandaddy album 😅🙌🏼 Goosebumps 🤤

Sennen! Good shout. I own that too 🤦🏻♂️😂 I listened to that Daniel Land the other day. Quite Verve in places, I thought. Will revisit for sure. 👍🏼

Ooh Fleeting Joys! My latest discovery that everyone kept secret from me! 😅 Will have to add that to my list.

I imagine Pains will do very well. But I’m usually really wrong at predicting these polls so it’ll probably end up with 9 points.

Aah no, missed that but I do own it. Simon actually used to be a customer of mine at the music shop in Salford too. I remember seeing him the day before he went down to play a showcase at Heavenly Records. It obviously went well 😂

Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger won’t quite make my top #5DebutAlbums0509 but the song Elusive is right up there with my favourite songs from this era. Stunning track 🤤 I see the album is getting its first ever vinyl release on RSD too. Very tempting 🤔

Oh wow! 🤩 They’re my flavour of the month at the moment, inspired by the latest album. Van Occupanther has been getting rinsed on loop lately. None of the tour dates were doable for me, unfortunately, but I must make sure to see them live one day.

I haven’t listened to The Fauns debut for ages. Really enjoyed that 🤩 Not sure it’ll make my #5DebutAlbums0509 but it’s definitely played its way back into some regular rotation. The Sun is Cruising is a proper tune! 🔥

I haven’t had a proper look at a list of #5DebutAlbums0509 yet, but I’d be surprised if Silversun Pickups - Carnavas wasn’t in my 5. My wife and I have both loved this album (which is rare) for 20 years and it is drench in nostalgia of our time living (and partying) in Manchester’s Northern Quarter🤗

Fleet Foxes 🙌🏼🤤 Any easy 🥇 for my #5DebutAlbums0509. Unreal production that really hits the sweet spot of my Bowers 703 S3 speakers. It’s like they were made for each other 🤩
