🎵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

🎵Now Playing: Geese - Getting Killed (2025)

I loved Cameron Winter’s solo album and now I think Geese might be on their way to being the best band on the planet.

Favourite Tracks:

  • 100 Horses
  • Taxes
  • Long Island City Here I Come

🎵Now Playing: Fishmans - Kuuchuu Camp (1996)

I don’t know how or why Fishmans ended up on my “Albums to listen to” playlist but I’m very glad I did. Some 90s Japanese dream/trip/psych pop was what I needed this afternoon (I have forgotten how to do my job).

Favourite Tracks:

  • Baby Blue
  • Night Cruising
  • Subarashikute Nice Choice

🎵Now Playing: Villagers - Becoming a Jackal (2010)

I’m stressing at work trying to cram everything in before the big trip. And Villagers can whisk me away into an indie-folk ethereal world while I deal with data. A stunning, lyrical album full of emotion and pictures.

Favourite Tracks:

  • I Saw the Dead
  • Becoming a Jackal
  • The Meaning of the Ritual
  • Home
  • Twenty Seven Strangers

🎵Now Playing: Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (2005)

6music had them on today to celebrate 20 (TWENTY) years since it’s release. With that and seeing The Maccabees tonight I’m absolutely delighted to be reliving my youth.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Apply Some Pressure
  • Graffiti
  • Picture of a Painting
  • Going Missing
  • Limassol

🎵Now Playing: Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (2007)

I haven’t listened to Muse for ages, and normally I wouldn’t stray far from Origin of Symmetry or Absolution but they headlined my first ever festival (Benicassim, 2007) on this tour so I have a soft spot for it. Opening the set with Knights of Cydonia blew my teenage head clean off.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Starlight
  • Supermassive Black Holes
  • Assassin
  • Knights of Cydonia
