Still digesting the latest from Japanese Breakfast. ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women)’ is a lighter, experience than ‘Jubilee’ buy one that I suspect will reward repeated listens.

Great title and artwork too.

The debut LP from #LaLom, an instrumental trio from LA, is a quality listen for fans of Khruangbin, Hermanos Gutiérrez etc.

On Verve, 2024.

I keep falling in love afresh with this album. Sorted out some reading material for an upcoming flight too.

Roberta Flack’s music is topping the iTunes songs and album charts in the UK today after her death was announced yesterday.

Any excuse to give this gorgeous Vinyl Me Please pressing of 1971’s Quiet Fire a spin.

She really was the Queen of Quiet Storm.

Happy 41st birthday tomorrow to Scritti Politti’s ‘Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)’. If I were pressured for My Favourite Single Ever, it would be this.

From @thequietus.com: ‘like an alien transmission beamed out to an unsuspecting planet…’

Some recent music-related reading.

What I have learned: Kate Bush still a genius; Swedish socialism in the 60s and 70s was something of a fun sponge; and Paul McCartney is quite probably an alien.

All three tomes highly recommended. #BookSky

Kind of obsessed with Jeremey Dutcher’s soaring music at the moment. This album, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, was the winner of the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.
