New Music 03/2024 – Gina Birch, Lankum

Adventurous debut from godmother of feminist rock; a dark, atmospheric and intense take on traditional Irish folk that got me to learn a new genre, doom folk.
Foy Vance @ The Croxton

I had a good time at what is probably my last music concert of 2023, despite the annoying chatterboxes at the bar.
The Hu @ 170 Russell

I never expected to post about a concert by a Mongolian folk metal band, but now and then YouTube throws something truly special your way, and when they stop by your city you just have to see them. As it turned out, these guys put on one hell of a show.
New Music 11/2021 – Waxahatchee, Courtney Barnett

I caught up with one of the most critically acclaimed albums from 2020, plus something old and something new (and something blue) by one of my Aussie favourites.
New Music 01/2021 – Fiona Apple, Laura Marling, Róisín Murphy

This is usually the time of the year when I trawl through the Best Albums lists for the previous year; as it turns out some of my big favourites made pretty damn great records.
New Music 05/2020 – Caribou, Aldous Harding
A vibrant and playful return from one of my favourite electronic artists; a New Zealand folk singer with a penchant for weird.
New Music 12/2019 – Michael Kiwanuka, Alela Diane
Gorgeous introspective music for the soul from a new favourite and the old one.
(Not Really) New Music 09/2019 – Pink Floyd, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Unthanks
I thought that, rather than acquiring more new music, I should give attention to the neglected albums in my collection that I never had a proper listen to.
