Half term is here and what better way to start it than a Friday night under the lights at La Rosaleda 💙

One seven hour overnight bus later...

Next stop: Cartagena. But first, coffee.

16. Squid - Crispy Skin

Was unfamiliar with Squid, but really liked this stuff - although hard to bracket it (which is a good thing). I guess it's a new wave, post-punk sort of vibe. Cool album, although did get a bit samey as it went along. I like the album cover too.

15. MIKE - Showbiz!

Hard to pick out a favourite song here as the album very much comes as one, with 2-3 minute long tracks all blending seamlessly into one with its fun beats, samples and general soul. It really is great stuff and definitely the best hip hop album I've listened to in ages.

Hoy vamos a La Rosaleda 💙

14. Fadi Tabbal - I recognise you from my sketches

This album of big synthy, yet also fairly minimalist, soundscapes proved a good soundtrack to my marking as rain hammered down outside. Definitely a vibe I don't think would suit a sunny day, but I liked it.

13. L.S. Dunes - Violet

An apoarent 'supergroup' but just found it bang average emo-ish rock and nothing too memorable. Not for me.

12. FKA twigs - Eusexia

Big electro bits meets pop. Good album as a whole, but no one track absolutely standing out for me. Definitely got a good early sunset / pre-going out vibe (more than my listening to it at 10am this morning).

11. Mogwai - The Bad Fire

Always thought Mogwai were cool since they soundtracked that Zidane film. Never properly given their albums a go though. Listened to their latest and it is brilliant. Beautiful and brilliant.

10. Central Cee - Can't Rush Greatness

Was excited for this with all the hype surrounding its release and have liked his singles/EPs so far, but just found this a bit samey all the way through. May give it one more go.

9. Ela Minus - DIA

Big synths and booming pop songs. This was great. Particular fan of the songs BROKEN and I WANT TO BE BETTER. The sort of electro pop i like.

8. Mac Miller - Balloonerism

Chilled, slightly jazzy, hip hop. A nice listen on this calm Sunday morning, but just not really my thing, so doubt I'll be going back. Noticed this has load of very good reviews though so I'm sure others will enjoy Mac Miller's 2nd posthumous album.

I'm doing my own 'Drier January' so first beer in 7 days looks good 🍻

7. Rose Gray - Louder, Please

A fun boppy house/eletronic/pop album. Really enjoyed it without absolutely loving it - some cool, ibiza-ish songs on there. Maybe an album to revisit in the summer for the summer vibes.

6. Moonlight Sanelly - Full Moon

When I liked a song on this album, I loved it. Some absolute bangers - just some songs not my sort of thing. Good fun pop though and I'm actually surprised she isn't more massive (admittedly, she has performed with Beyonce and Gorillaz amongst other biggies).

A year ago day since the start of the Ceuta weekender. The best trip!

5. Asian Glow - 11100011

Well this is just utterly glorious. Big sonic soundscapes - like a prime Jesus and the Mary Chain at times. I absolutely loved this. Can't say I had heard of this Korean band before, but definitely going to go back and listen through their back catalogue.

Málaga 1-1 Deportivo

One word: CHUPETE!

For the first time in 2025...Vamos Málaga!

4. wolffacejoeyy - cupid

Dreamy, R&Bish hip hop. Decent enough but nothing too memorable to bring me back for more listens. Bonus points for naming a song 'ronaldinho'.

3. Lambrini Girls - Who Let the Dogs Out

This was fun! Brighton band somewhere between punk and garage pop/rock absolutely belt through these fun angry songs. Loved Big Dick Energy and No Homo, which were particularly fun. Good, cutting lyrics too. Properly woke me up on this Saturday morning.

2. Franz Ferdinand - The Human Fear

I was in my mid-teens when Franz Ferdinand first burst on the scene _ I absolutely loved them. 20 years later, this latest album is just meh. Generic FF album filler that lacks the fun and sexiness of their best stuff. Enjoyed The Doctor, but otherwise just dull.
