New Music

The Saints – Long March Through the Jazz / I kind of like those new Saints record despite the fact that it doesn’t sound like the Saints, at least not the way I remember them – Jennifer Kelly

Steven Hess – Lustres (Room40) / up for pre-order!

Hinako Omori – Studies on a River / Stunning new age ambient – tania

Jack Vickridge – Building Instruments (Flaming Pines) / “a duet of playful and hallucinatory manufacture.” Vickridge plays with the spaces, soundings and silences of an old factory.

weed420 – Esto no es un show / Could I interest you in an hour of unhinged Venezuelan psychedelia? – Nic Brown
