Not an album yet, but the lead single from Einsturzende Nuebauten's latest is a banger
My favorite album of the year so far is the quite stunning release from Julia Holter. Simply put, it’s beautiful and magical. So much that me and the missus both have a vinyl each.
Is it PotG?

Looking forward to having a listen, and to seeing them on the beach in July.
Nice. As an aside, I see Blixa from time to time. He used to have an office in the next door apartment block and his kids go to the nearby school. I also saw him sitting in a local bar, on his own, in a big furry coat for hours one evening looking more and more sinister as the evening progressed.
Brilliant...I bet breezing up to him asking for a selfie not a good idea
The new album out today as excellent as always...Nice trip to London to see them in September booked up

Not sure if you've ever heard of him, but can I recommend a DJ called Stephen McCauley? His recent shows are on BBC Sounds - in particular you might like the Celtronic 2024 episode. He plays quite a lot of mainstream indie stuff (all fine but stuff you've heard before) but also downtempo electronic stuff most of which I would never hear anywhere else (and is really good IMO).
Thanks for this, and no I haven't heard of him. I’ll give it a listen and report back.

Been a quite frankly ridiculous year for UK so far with really good projects from Potter Paper, Ghetts, Unknown T, Jimmy, Rimzee, Songer & Marnz Malone*
Highlight for me though is Marnz recording a very solid verse from his jail cell, only for Potter to drop one of the verses of the year.
*Probably a list for @Pogue Mahone and not many more people tbh

Had a lovely evening at Rhinoceros (a Japanese style jazz listening bar) listening to a pre-release playback of Shabaka Hutchings’ new album.
Look forward to @Machiavelli thoughts on this long player.

Does Shabaka work better with cheese and wine, or beer?
Cheese (24 month Comte) and wine (cremant) definitely.

I’m going early but I can see Mount Kimbie’s The Sunset Violent being my album of the year. It’ll certainly get me through the summer.

"Very well produced" is a phrase that instinctively puts me off something. Probably the reason why I prefer most bands first albums, before the record companies pay for someone big to produce it.
BTW, i'm curious, are you familiar with Julia Holter?

Yes, but haven't listened in a while. I saw her play at Komedia about a decade ago.
Possibly on the same tour I saw her. Her last two albums have drifted away from the more conventional song structures of her past long players. I love her current one...seeing her tomorrow night.
