Marc Ribot      Map of a Blue City    

While it’s not a traditional singer-songwriter album, it is his first to centre his plaintive, wise voice quite so prominently throughout. Map of a Blue City showcases songs colliding disparate traditions: roots, bossa nova, no wave, noise, free jazz, and sounds that have no genre associations. There is an impressive quiet intensity to the album.

Francis Bebey              Trésor Magnétique   

In an era when African artists were sometimes stuffed into marketing categories like “world music” or “folk,” Bebey adamantly mixed and matched instrumentation that had seemingly no business coexisting. A pygmy flute might flutter against the metronomic pulse of a drum machine, or a classic guitar riff might coil around a looped synthetic soundscape.

These New Puritans                 Crooked Wing

Turin Breaks                  Spacehopper               

Their tenth album sees them deliberately going back to Konk Studios where they made their debut album, ‘The Optimist’, 25 years ago.

 

Frank From Blue Velvet        I Am Frank      

A father-and-daughter-led collaboration, and the new album finds their revamped sound in gritty and raw form, with basslines that rumble with unfiltered intensity and drums that drive each track with pounding, relentless energy while retaining their familiar dark twang.

Sophia Kennedy         Squeeze Me  

More minimalist than her previous works, Squeeze Me brims with catchy melodies and psychedelic hues: repetitive piano chords, shimmering synth bass lines, strangely flickering choirs, and even a scream.

CDSM                 Convertible Hearse

Cardinal Black            Midnight at the Valencia
