Rough Trade photobooth series 12
Miss Bridgers hits it out of the park with this one. Subtly beautiful and full of surprises. Took me a few listens to connect but it was well worth it.
Highly recommended!
Edit to add actual pic of the glow in the dark effect, as requested 😘

https://www.discogs.com/release/37718778-Plini-An-Unnameable-Desire
Got two variants of this album. Pictures doesn’t do them justice though. Absolutely gorgeous!
Super interesting music aswell. Technical and diverse. Equal parts jazz, prog and metal.
First it gets emotional and then it melts your face right off 🔥
https://www.discogs.com/release/6714382-Carpenters-The-Singles-1969-1973
Yeah buddy, I’m a sucker for the Carpenters! For me there might not be a more beautifully heartwarming voice than Karin Carpenter’s.
11/10 would listen to again.
https://www.discogs.com/release/35602732-Jahrund-Fiction-World
Ran into this band in one of my many Spotify rabbit holes. Jahrund apparently is a German ambient band and they’ve been making albums for a while now.
This one is one of their best, in my humble opinion. Atmospheric, melodic and overall super chill ambiance.
Picked this one up @ Discogs.
https://www.discogs.com/release/32874636-Glacier-9-A-Distant-Violent-Shudder
With an album name that reminds me of my wife when I am on the toilet, it is surely a solid postrock album!
Epic colorway aswell!
https://www.discogs.com/release/28454899-Polyphia-New-Levels-New-Devils
Talking about masters of their craft, Polyphia are up there with the best.
This is a limited edition on greenyl, some kind of eco friendly vinyl alternative bullshit. Extremely sick variant.
Pick of gold lp etched b-side
If you squint you can make out the kitties 🐱
https://www.discogs.com/release/35078357-Lorna-Shore-I-Feel-The-Everblack-Festering-Within-Me
Yeah, this is a tough listen. Not sure what drew me to this. I think that I want to try to find beauty in unexpected stuff.
Well, here we are.
These guys sure are masters of their craft and their music is fucking insane! The video for “prison of flesh” is equally mental.
“Glenwood” is kind of sweet in a way, even?
Anywho, conflicted abt this one. But that is how life is sometimes.
https://www.discogs.com/release/37533543-Slift-Fantasia
Since this variant isn’t on Discogs yet, I just put the link to the white vinyl variant (Which I also own). This one looks fucking sick though. D side is etched with band logo.
New album by french rock gods Slift. Just got this in today and I’m listening to it for the first time as we speak.
First impression is that it feels sonically and musically somewhat of a departure from earlier work. More voice and keyboard oriented but still unmistakably Slift! 🔥
https://www.discogs.com/release/37423158-Boards-Of-Canada-Inferno
New BOC album, slaps as fuck. Nuff said 🔥
https://www.discogs.com/release/25148833-Psychonaut-7-Violate-Consensus-Reality
If a benign god would create psychedelic rock it would probably sound something like Psychonaut.
Unapologetically in your face, philosophical to a fault and most of all: it rocks as fuck!
Peace out ✌️
https://www.discogs.com/release/37150821-BTS-4-Arirang
I plead Innocence! This is actual property of the kid, in whomst apparently I have awakened the vinyl virus.
TBH some of these tracks slap but I need that to stay between us 🤫
Peace out ✌️
https://www.discogs.com/release/37092798-Enter-Shikari-Lose-Your-Self
Yeahhhh the boys did not disappoint with this album. Instead of releasing it slowly with singles and stuff, they just dropped the whole album.
Thanks to @[email protected] for the heads-up! ❤️
What can I say? It is the absolute shizznizz! Even if it’s on the short side @ 41 minutes, there’s lots of bangers and Shikari audiofucks.
FIRE I TELL YOU 🔥🔥🔥
https://www.discogs.com/release/26786159-Reliqa-I-Dont-Know-What-I-Am
Been following these Aussies for a while now. Top shelf metalcore/prog shit. Earlier work was wilder, rougher and more proggy, while the newer work leans more mainstream.
Check out “Safety” with Sean Harmanis. Absolute banger of a track.
This is a rare variant: #23 of 50
https://www.discogs.com/release/32946525-Keziah-Jones-Alive-Kicking
If you haven’t heard of mr. Jones yet, go check him out. His first album “Blufunk is a Fact” is a great start.
Blues, funk, Nigerian roots. Big fun! 🤩
https://www.discogs.com/release/36875179-Raye-3-This-Music-May-Contain-Hope
Yeaaahhhh, not sure what to think of this one yet. Raye is an amazingly talented artist. Let’s begin with that statement.
Saw her live with my kid some years ago here in Holland right about the time when she was breaking through. She brought that room to tears. I have never witnessed something like that at a concert.
This woman has the spark, fo sho!
Then she drops this. Equal parts pretentious, convoluted, silly and genius? Again, not sure yet. Some of it works, some of it just misses the mark.
You can hear that the label spent LOADS of money on this. Not much inspiration or intrinsic beauty here, tho.
So yeh, I’m on the lookout for album # 3. Cuz I know she can do it!
That’s the only hope I got from this album.
This is a collection of Leonard Cohen songs, interpreted by Jennifer Warnes. Shoot me if you want but I like this wayyyy more than Cohen’s tired old voice.
Some of these songs are heartbreaking. Jennifer Warnes’ voice is so beautiful!
This edition is also top notch and crystal clear.
https://www.discogs.com/release/3860242-Donald-Fagen-The-Nightfly
Epic album, nothing more to say 🤷🏻♂️
https://www.discogs.com/release/22015285-Slift-Levitation-Sessions
I’m not much of a live albums kinda guy but this is something else. Slift is an amazing live band! This is recorded in some whacky laboratory. The video is thusly a sight to behold:
https://www.discogs.com/release/33986646-The-Vernon-Spring-Under-A-Familiar-Sun
Not even sure how to categorize this. The Vernon Spring is a category of its own. A blend of ambient, jazz, soul and random noise.
Never fails to put me in a dreamy mood. Painting pictures with sound, like a finger stirring your soul. Whatever that is supposed to mean 😃
Anywho, check it out.
