I’ve had Tuff Times Never Last on repeat all morning, definitely gonna be a 2025 comfort listen. Kokoroko are just so dreamy

I had a blast playing Derry Jazz Fest for the first time this weekend with my faves Boom Strutt Brass Band 🎺

Three shows in one day and a last minute beer-fuelled overnight stay, my lips are fried but it was an amazing couple of days, it’s easily one of the best festivals I’ve played

Finally getting to see AIR last night was an experience, performed Moon Safari in full then went on to do all their other hits - such a classy and smooth band, truly one of a kind!

Some bangers over the last week

New Bonny Light Horseman isn’t bad at all, can’t stop listen to Moon Safari because I’m seeing them soon, and pining over the fact that I missed out on a War On Drugs ticket 🙃

Think I may have finished recording and mixing my first full song with my recording partner for a new project that we’ve built a home studio together for - it’s so fulfilling going from the early writing & demo process straight into recording & mixing - beats the grind of being in a band anyway

Here’s the weeker 🪐🪐🪐

Diamond Jubilee by Cindy Lee should be top but can’t be for obvious reasons. Rediscovered my love for Jasmine On A Night In July this week, and been completely obsessed with Jalen Ngonda. It doesn’t need to be said but what a beautiful fuckin voice he has.

Found this out in the wild today, and to my surprise it ended up being the limited Seaglass variant! What a ride this album is, I’ve talked about it a few times on here and it’s one of my favourites of the year so far so picking this up was a no-brainer.

Joined by Miles’ backing band at the time, this one had all the makings of a classic. Art Pepper’s playing is just so personal and unique, and when Conte Candoli appears, he absolutely kills it too.

Now spinning - A LA SALA - Khruangbin 🌊

Had reservations about even opening this one due to early Discogs reviews but glad I did as this one is quiet and sounds great, even before a wet clean. Loving that the band have gone back to their stylistic roots, as TUSUY has always been my favourite.

Here’s the weeker 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

New Khruangbin is a wonderful time (still waiting for my vinyl to arrive tho), Y’Y by Amaro Freitas is sublime, and I’ve been on a Joni kick, but what’s new?

A rainy Friday night in Belfast, John Lewis and Bill Perkins are providing the perfect gentle vibes.

This one could breeze by without much to say if you let it, but if you give it your full attention, there’s some colossal guitar playing here. This is an example of the very rare occurrence when technical virtuosity and tasteful playing overlap. One of my favourites.

An ethereal masterpiece of ambient, jazz and orchestral. The flawless balance of Sam Shepard’s compositions, Sanders’ expressive embellishments, and the London Symphony Orchestra’s beautiful, sometimes even frightening, string passages makes for special listening.

As I’ve banged on about all week, new Charles Lloyd and Julian Lage are sublime, on top of that, Yussef Dayes is the king.

Jesus, the new Julian Lage album is really something isn’t it? Early AOTY contender for sure

Waited a good while for this one but it was totally worth the wait. Excellent pressing and album. Can recommend this one to anyone who would like to hear if Air wrote the soundtrack for a 40s detective noir film.

repost with the first cd you bought with your own money

(I still have it too)

A very strong week of streaming 🫡

The new Amanda Whiting is excellent, War on Drugs is perfect road trip music, and I just can’t get enough of Valentine and Flying Beagle. Check it 🏄‍♂️

The perfect mellow Sunday evening soundtrack. Subtle environmental ambient and jazz.

I know I have posted this one so many times already but it’s just so beautiful. The perfect Saturday morning pop record.
