It's a Beautiful Place by Water from Your Eyes (released 2025) - every kind of guitar style, often in the same song
In the Wind of Night, Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper by Sirom (released 2025) - the title just about sums it up

Radiohead, London, 25 November
Last minute resale ticket after 4,000 attempts (I apologise to all fans who couldn't go)
This band can write & screw convention & screw genre & when they go full rock mode they are a force of nature
Gig of the year

Not wanting to jump on any bandwagon, I can't help but agree this album is fantastic, one of the best of the year. Love the lyrics, the off-kilter arrangements, the energy. Great music is great music

country pop is not my go-to music genre & I was only going to stay for a couple of songs by CMAT at All Points East but wow she was great, such energy in the songs live & what a show she put on with her band

Cerys, you play such great music on your shows & I wonder whether so much of it started in sub Saharan/west Africa???
you might like this lovely bit of Gnawa music by a leading female light in Morocco.
