90s riot grrrl punk rock; another fine album from one of my favourite UK bands; a folk supergroup make magic together.

New Music 09/2018 – Mitski, Laura Veirs
Idiosyncratic pop from a Japanese-American songwriter; catching up with an old folky favourite.
New Music 07/2018 – Gillian Welch, Savages
My recent haul from the Dixons Recycled secondhand music store in Fitzroy. Who doesn’t love a bargain?
New Music 07/2018 – Fever Ray, Courtney Barnett
Second solo albums by two of my favourites, which mostly avoid the dreaded second album curse.
New Music 04/2018 – Sarah Blasko, St. Vincent, Yma Sumac
Two of my long-time favourites refuse to make a crap album six and five releases into their careers respectively; a Peruvian-American queen of exotica with a crazy vocal range.
New Music 03/2018 – John Grant, Ibeyi
A brutal and confessional break-up record; excellent second album from a genre-mashing sister duo.
New Music 01/2018 – The Kills, Richard Dawson
Catching up with the old alt-rock favourites; an avant-garde prog-folk concept album about the 6th century Anglo-Saxon kingdom… no really that’s what the album is about.
