  • You Wont See Me
  • Michelle
  • Girl

🎵Now Playing: Nick Mulvey - First Mind (2014)

Big day at work today. A project I’ve been working on for about 2 years is finally going live. I put this album on to help with the stress, and it seem to be working because it’s all… going… well? Fingers crossed this isn’t the calm before the storm, but what great calm this album is.

Favourite Tracks:

  • First Mind
  • Fever to the Form
  • Juramidam
  • Cucurucu
  • Meet Me There
  • Nitrous

🎵Now Playing: Big Thief - Double Infinity (2025)

I’ve got tickets to see these next year with my Dad, and really looking forward to it. This new album is a lush, warm soundscape of a great band doing great things.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Incomprehensible
  • Words
  • Los Angeles
  • How Could I Have Known

🎵Now Playing: The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (2001)

This is more of a summer album, but it’s definitely a sunny album, and the sun is out today, despite the cold.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Caring is Creepy
  • Know Your Onion!
  • New Slang
  • The Past and Pending

🎵Now Playing: Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (2003)

I don’t come back to this album as often as I should.

Favourite Tracks:

  • 2 + 2 = 5
  • There, There
  • Myxomatosis
  • A Wolf at the Door

🎵Now Playing: Geese - 3D Country (2023)

Guys. Hey, guys. I’m serious. Geese are the best band on the planet.

Favourite Tracks:

  • 2122
  • 3D Country
  • Cowboy Nudes
  • I See Myself In You
  • Crusades

🎵Now Playing: Daniel Avery - Tremor (2025)

New Music Friday and today I listened to Daniel Avery’s newest. He’s gone back to his shoegaze roots in a departure as a techno DJ (but this album still has some bangers), but he’s always had these droning aspects to his sound regardless of genre. I dig it.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Haze
  • Greasy off the Racing Line
  • Disturb Me
  • In Keeping (Soon We’ll Be Dust)

🎵Now Playing: Tame Impala - Deadbeat (2025)

I should start doing a Now Playing post every Friday, as it’s always new album release day. Well let’s start now shall we? Today is the new one from Tame Impala. This is definitely continues the path taken at Currents through The Slow Rush into making him a sure-fire Festival Headliner (Glasto 2027 anyone?) with beats that are definitely not dead. I do miss the guitar riffs though.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Dracula
  • Loser
  • Obsolete
  • Afterthought
  • End Of Summer

🎵Now Playing: Boy Azooga - 1, 2, Kung Fu! (2018)

Welcome to another edition of “I totally forgot this band existed!” Really fun alt-indie. I used to play Face Behind Her Cigarette a lot at the bar where I DJed. Sigh.

I just Googled them and I never knew they were Welsh! I always thought they were American. Sadly they seem to be inactive now, but I hope they return one day.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Loner Boogie
  • Face Behind her Cigarette
  • Jerry
  • Sitting on the First Rock From the Sun
