- I kicked off the show with Pimmit Hills and “Baby Blue Eyes” from their new album Heathens & Prophets. They are a Washington, DC-based quartet which spawned from the revered doom rock act King Giant, and this is their debut recording. They have been described as a cross between the Stooges and ‘70s ZZ Top!
- The Pull of Autumn and “Bakhchalarda” from Small Colors – Based between Boston and Rhode Island, The Pull of Autumn is a ‘super group’ of sorts
- Manteca “Meanwhile Tomorrow” from The Twelfth of Never Forty-one years after their first downbeat, Manteca – the Toronto based world-jazz nonet – is very much upbeat, still creating, still exploring, and still a force of joyous sonic invention. If you think you know their music, this CD will come as a big surprise.
- The White Swan and “Nocturnal Transmission” from an EP of the same name.
- Next a doom rock jazz cross-over lead by Dan Weiss the highly anticipated follow-up to the drummer composer’s 2018 release Starebaby – Dan Weiss Starebaby “The Long Diagonal” from Natural Selection
- Belbury Poly and “The Gone Away” from The Gone Away – Belbury Poly is the studio band of Ghost Box Records co-founder Jim Jupp. Jupp is the main composer and producer and also plays synth, keyboards and guitar. 7th album.
- Bangladeafy “Youthanor” from Housefly – drummer Atif Haq and bassist/pianist/vocalist Jon Ehlers – back with a new approach. Thirteen anxiety-ridden compositions performed live on hardware synths, sample pads, and acoustic drums, entirely abandoning the electric bass acrobatics the duo has become known for.
- Switzerland’s Annie Taylor are back less than a year after the release of their debut EP ‘Not Yours!’ with their fuzzy yet acerbic debut album Sweet Mortality.
- Moff Skellington “A Toast To Throbbing Gristle” from Y E A S T…..the final release of the year……check out the podcasts
- The Left Outsides “Naming Shadows Was Your Existence” from A Place To Hide….The Left Outsides are: Mark Nicholas and Alison Cotton, a wife and husband duo based in London whose atmospheric, hypnotic songs echo Nico’s icy European folk, pastoral psychedelia and chilly English fields at dawn.
- Struggles with Syntax “Land Based Antics” single – looking forward to hearing more from them
- The Apartments “The Fading Light” from the new album In and Out of the Light
