    🎵Now Playing: This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024)

    This was The Lovely Robin’s™️ best album of the year, and it had completely passed me by so I thought I’d throw it on today. A lovely piece of work.

    Best Tracks:

    • Perfect Hand
    • I’m All F****d Up
    • Dancing in the Club
    • An Extra Beat for You and Me

    🎵Now Playing: Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land (2004)

    Not gone through the back catalogue of Biffy for a while. Blackened Sky is still my favourite album but this occasionally bangs.

    Best Tracks:

    • Glitter and Trauma
    • Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave

    🎵Now Playing: TV on the Radio - Dear Science (2008)

    I only remembered I love this band over the weekend so had to play this album today. Great way to start the week.

    Best Tracks:

    • Halfway Home
    • Crying
    • Golden Age
    • Shout Me Out
    • DLZ

    🎵Now Playing: Laura Marling - Patterns (2024)

    Laura Marling is a perfect artist. She’s already one of my favourite gigs of all time, and this album is a stripped back, beautiful, tender, moving piece of work. Sublime.

    Best Tracks:

    • Child of Mine
    • No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can
    • Caroline
    • Looking Back

    🎵Now Playing: Joshua Idehen - Mum Does The Washing EP (2024)

    My Spotify algorithm came good suggesting this to me. Absolutely loved it. Sharp, clever, heartfelt lyrics with great production. I see he’s playing Manchester in April, might have to grab a ticket.

    Best Tracks:

    • Mum Does The Washing
    • Could Be Forever
    • Tactics for Survival
    • Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads cover)

    🎵Now Playing: Yannis & The Yaw - Lagos Paris London EP (2024)

    A dream collaboration between The Foals singer and the legendary drummer Tony Allen. Result is a Foals-y sound with the groove turned up to 11.

    Best tracks:

    • Rain Can’t Reach Us
    • Clementine

    🎵Now Playing: Chemical Brothers - Planet Dust (1995)

    They didn’t make this album for listening to at work, they made it for dancing.

    Best tracks:

    • Leave Home
    • Chemical Beats
    • One Too Many Mornings

    🎵Now Playing: Kendrick Lamar - GNX (2024)

    Had to give this a chance after all the hype. Not my fave of his back catalog, but it could be a grower.

    Best tracks:

    • squabble up
    • reincarnation
    • tv off (aka MUSSSTTTAAARRRDDD)
    • heart pt.6
