Have you seen The Comet is Coming live?

Absolutely glorious...like a jazzy rave. One of the last gigs I went to before lockdown. God, I miss gigs.

I saw them on the BBC Glastonbury sets that time. Thought it was the best of all the sets I watched.

Just one word seemed to cover their performance perfectly.... Energy!

I have seen them live and love them. Also seen Sons of Kemet, a different thing but equally enjoyable.

As for energy, if this doesn’t get you moving I don’t know what will

From that collection I only have... Bonobo, Four Tet, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds. All are cracking albums.

Jordan Rakei is a new artist to me. What should I expect from him?

I saw Jordan Rakei at the Soundcrash Funk and Soul Weekender on Brighton Beach in 2019. His stuff is very mellow, very sparse jazzy keyboard...

He has worked quite a lot with Tom Misch, who I love, and FKJ, also excellent.

He's part of the South London Jazz/Soul scene, even though he is from New Zealand.

I love a lot of his collaborations (here's one he did recently) but find him a little monotonous in his solo work.

Love it.

When I saw them at the Concorde I took one of my gig buddies, Dan the Palace Fan, who, like [MENTION=28490]Machiavelli[/MENTION] was a big fan of Shabaka, but very doubtful about The Comet...He was sucked in like everyone else. As he said, "After that, I get it." He re-listened at home, and loves them now.

Big fan of Billie Marten, this is being played for the third time now. Very nice.

Released end of last month, but I only discovered it today.

Blue Lab Beats - Kaidi and NK-OK - The Sounds of Afrotronica.

It's an absolute corker of an album!

If you have a sub as part of your hifi set up, I can thoroughly recommend playing this track especially at the highest volume your neighbours will allow. It'll shake the floor and everything else with it :rave:

OUT TODAY

Wolf Alice. Blue Weekend. Their third album, this has been generating glowing reviews everywhere – really looking forward to hearing this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoBzpdm_h0c


Japanese Breakfast. Jubilee. Supposedly slightly poppier than previous releases, but always an interesting artist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZfcZEIo6Bw


Liz Phair. Soberish. Car crash or masterpiece? It's been a baffling ride since the utter genius of Exile in Guyville almost – eek – 30 years ago now. All the way from 9.6 to 0.0 on Pitchfork, and after another decade of silence she's back with the next chapter. I'm fearing a fairly bland middle ground, but, well, you just never know…

Part Chimp have a new long player out, called Drool.
Avoid if you don't like ear-splitting relentless noise. I can enjoy this if it's done well, and the band that had a single entitled Chart Pimp, do it brilliantly. Even better in a smallish room for the full sonic effect

Just playing the new Japanese Breakfast album now - sounds pretty nice, a relaxing listen. And a gatefold sleeve (easily pleased).

Looking fwd to listening to this.

Reminds me of bands like the Buttholes and Killdozer, from back in the day.

Shocked the Squid album hasn't got more of a mention on here considering they are from Brighton and it was recieved with pretty high critical acclaim.

Good point well made.

It’s a brilliant long player which pulls on a number of influences which float my boat. And two truly epic songs in The Narrator and the one you’ve posted. I have tickets to see them play a very small venue in October; fingers crossed.

As an aside, I bought a green vinyl edition direct from Warp….really nice.

Take it that’s the double gatefold?

Going to see them in July. If things go to plan....

Bit late to the party but cannot stop playing the Lost Horizons offering 'In Quiet Moments' from February.

This led me on to their earlier work, 'Ojalá' from 2017.

Splendid work indeed from these 80s legends with some wonderful guests.
