Ayup, and welcome to your weekly dose of… ok hold on, let’s address the elephant in the room here first. Provided you have an internet connection fit for the year of our lord 2025, and our server hasn’t crapped itself too badly today, you may have noticed that this page is rather long. That’s because this week we have no less than, read it and weep (I know I did), 70 releases! Mad isn’t it? I don’t want any of you complaining about a lack of good music coming out, because there’s some tasty stuff in here. Sput’s deep house cult hero Stimming has a new one out, Swedish anarcho-conformist pseudo-punks Viagra Boys seem to be going all in on dance-punk revivalism, there’s a surprise Adrianne Lenker live album to have your heart and soul broken to, late ’70s-idolizing soft rock duo Tennis are set to (softly) rock our socks off for one last time, and many, many more. As usual, post below what tickles your fancy this week – and at least something bloody well should, as I make a mental note to trim the list down next time so I’m not two days late again. ‘Til next week!
