🎵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
