Excellent follow-up from the gender-bending French singer; my two favourite musical redheads release solo albums after a five-year break.
alternative
New Music 03/2019 – Kali Uchis, Heilung, Molly Burch
Intoxicating genre-hopping pop by a Colombian-American singer; live album from an experimental folk band that delves deep into the Nordic past; vintage sound and a genuinely great voice.
New Music 01/2019 – Gwenno, Tracey Thorn, Kelly Lee Owens
The world’s only electronic psychedelic album sung entirely in Cornish; classy mature pop from the Everything But the Girl singer; warm and soothing techno-pop.
New Music 12/2018 – Muse, The Breeders, Florence + The Machine
It’s nice when your favourite people release albums that don’t suck.
New Music 10/2018 – Bikini Kill, Elbow, case/lang/veirs
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?
